Pop over to TTT now to see if you are one of the lucky winners!
This week over at TTT the lovely Leigh is telling us to look at things differently - namely BUTTONS!
Hands up who loves buttons?.....
....ok you can ALL put your hands down now!
Leigh has shown us some of the gorgeous creations she has made using buttons.
Here are a couple I made to go along with this weeks 'Button Marathon'
A very obvious button here - used with some ribbon threaded through the holes. A gorgeous Penny Black image (can't think of the name!!!) coloured with Watercolour Pencils.
This one is a little less obvious but I promise the heart is a button - I did have to cut off the back loop and embed the remainder of it into the front piece as it stood too proud of the card.
But that's the beauty of buttons - you can make then work for you!
So guess what the challenge is this week???
Again we have some fab prizes on offer.....
&
So off and find those buttons, get creating, leave a link to your button creation on Top Tip Tuesday and you could win a prize!
Don't forget you can also leave a Top Tip to be in the running for a second prize!!!
