So Many Buttons

I'm not real sure how I acquired all the buttons I have, but have way too many!  I decided to use a bunch on this card to see what it was going to look like.  I started with the image from Stampendous and colored it with SU markers and then placed several buttons over the flowers.  I stamped in the grass using an old SU set I had.  The sketch I followed is from My Time Made Easy and I'll enter it into their challenge.  After finishing the card, I felt it needed something at the bottom - so added more buttons! 


This turned into a very Spring-y looking card - and I'm so ready for Spring!

I'll also enter this in that challenge at The Paper Players (Spring Has Spring) and Penny Black and More (Springtime)

Thanks for stopping by........

    Cute card, love the flowers with the buttons and the paper you used. Love the spring feel of the card. Know what you mean, about spring, the back and forth with the temps is crazy, one day coats next day shorts.

    This is too cute, Lynn! Love the soft colors, the banner accent and the fun button bouquet! Love that added trio of buttons in the bottom corner, too. Great touch!
