Hello and welcome! I am super excited to get to participate in another one of DeNami Design's fun blog hops. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with using buttons! If you want to start at the beginning or if you get lost along the way, just click on the badge above and it will take you back to home base. If you are "hopping" along, you should have come from Amy's blog. If so, you are on the right track. Let's get to my card. I went a little button crazy! I love how it came out. I hope you do too ... enjoy!
First of all, look very closely at the grassy hill. Do you see that the shapes are actually made with the DeNami cloud? Here is a close - up that might help ...
So, I think including the tiny buttons on the hot air balloon I ended up using 13 buttons. Wow! It took some time to put the linen thread thru all those holes! The buttons I used on the balloon had such tiny holes, I had trouble getting the thread thru so I decided to go looking for some kind of embellishment to put on top of the holes. That is when I decided to add the tiny heart stickers. And from there I went a little crazy with those same stickers on the blimp! The sentiment was printed on the computer. But, don't you love how I added tiny holes in the sentiment banner and then added the thread to make it appear the blimp is pulling the banner? Recipe:
Paper - Green Dot/Green Stripe by Creative Imaginations Signature Collection (one sheet), Cloud DP by My Minds Eye Good Day Sunshine line (new), Cardstock Red, White, Lt. Green

You have until Monday night at 11:59 PST to leave your comments on each of the blogs to get in on the prizes.
