Buttons ....


.... Is this weeks theme over at Simon Says Stamp & Show. The 7x5 Canvas Board was painted with PaperArtsy Fresco Paints (Sky & London Night) mixed with Distress Stains (Vintage Photo & Antique Linen) and a touch of Adirondack Paint Dabber (Snowcap) for good measure.

The Wendy Vecchi Dress Form Stamp was stamped onto Kraft Resist then inked with Distress Stains (Weathered Wood & Antique Linen) and then mounted onto a Dress Form Art Part again inked with Distress Stain (Vintage Photo) with a scraping of Fresco Paint (London Night). Glassine paper was embossed using the Sewing Die Texture Fade, again inked with Distress Stain (Vintage Photo) ... can you spot the common denominator lol ....

Cotton Reel and Trimmings inked using Distress Stain (Vintage Photo), Baubles (Ideaology). Other Ideaology embellishments ... Ornate Plate & Adage Ticket. It was a battle to get this photographed as daylight is fading fast here tonight. One more day of work then it's a four day break .. woo hoo!
