Books are friends too! - Today starts the new challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio. What are we doing this week? Buttons! Buttons are a fun embellishment. I have been know to look through clothes that were being taken to Goodwill for buttons. Sometimes you can find really interesting ones. However today I made my own buttons. I punched them out of cardstock and coated them with Matte Accents. My baker's twine was also homemade. It is nice to make them this way I can use the same Copic that I colored the image with.My DP is Al Fresco Tapestry by CR Gibson and was a gift from my daughter for Mother's day. Don't I have a great daughter? I used a MS punch.
The image is Stella by Michelle Perkett. I love this image. I love how studious Stella looks and how all the flowers and even the bee and butterfly have come to hear the story. What book do you think she is reading?
Stella was Colored with Copics and I used some fine glitter by the Rubber Cafe.
