Lavender Moon Birthday

Today I got a set I have been wanting for a long time, Everyday Button Bits. I love the little flowers and thought they would look pretty springing from a flower bed. I used a base of kraft cardstock with a piece of lavender moon with rounded corners layered over it. I added a strip of plum pudding vertically and made added some white zig zag stitches. I stamped a little flower bed with Polka Dot Basics II in Dark Chocolate. I free cut the flower bed and adhered the back row. I stamped the flower image with New Leaf ink, stamping two of the leaves on some cream cardstock to be paper pieced onto the stamped leaf images. I added the buttons, some with kraft colored twine. I stamped the sentiment in Dark Chocolate ink below the flower bed and added the top layer of the flower bed on foam. I added a piece of plum pudding stamped with Wish Big in versamark layered over a mat of dotted dark chocolate. Love the way it turned out.
Details:
Cardstock: Kraft, lavender moon, plum pudding
Stamps: Everyday button bits, Polka Dot Basics II, Big and Bold Wishes
