Stamping 411-Challenge #140

Ready for another great sketch weekend?? I have an awesome sketch for you today from Stamping 411 and will have another one posted later from UDI.
Selene never lets us down with our sketches!! This is another great one and is pretty wide open. I love that about Selene's sketches!!

I used the oh so yummy Sending Love Specialty DSP, Real Red & Pretty in Pink Cardstock, Real Red Corduroy Buttons, Playground Designer Buttons, the stamp set called Teeny Tiny Wishes, Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch, Real Red 5/8" Satin Ribbon and my Big Shot with the SU Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.

To make your flower like this I just punched out three flowers using the Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch, spritzed them with water and then wadded them up. After adhering them together I briefly used my Heat Gun to dry the flowers. This makes them stiff and stay in place.

Now for this cool trick for the buttons. Patti Chesky actually told me about this while we were at the Phoenix Regional. Thanks Patti!! Just take some very small pieces of scrap DSP and thread it through your button holes. I adhere it on the back side of the button and you have a finished button. Cool huh??
Make sure you hop on over to the Stamping 411 Blog and play along with us this week!!! And while you are there check out what the other Operators did with this weeks sketch.
Have a great day!!
