This morning’s sunrise from Blackmans Bay thanks to Katy Morgan who says:
A trifecta of cracking sunrises. The last three days have been spectacular something different every morning. A place close to home this morning to watch another sunrise in.

I have made a card this week for some inspiration for you all - trying out a technique I have seen a few times but not done before.
Here is a blast from the past - my old Fiskar's big circle punch!
This suits my hands to use better than other punch types
I used some old DSP from SU (Carried Away) and punched out a few circles
This meant all the circles were going to meld and match
As I had the camera handy this time I took a few more shots than usual.
I had to mark where the cross pieces were on each circle and then carefully score and fold to create the square
Then I took a piece of mount (SU Whisper White) and measured where to place the washi tape
I used two different ones
Then I placed the squares into the middle and glued them down
I played with lots of buttons and finally settled on this combination
Some are SU buttons and some are jumper buttons!
Once glued in place I added this to a card
I decided to keep the sentiment inside
My take on using buttons and washi tape!
Hope to see your work over at Unstampabelles!
You have a week to enter.









Brilliant use of buttons and fab design! Your card looks stunning with all these dimensions! Great work.
ReplyDeleteThat sunrise is just wonderful!!!
Very creative! I've seen similar made into baubles.
ReplyDeleteI too have an old circle punch like that (and a few other shapes!) you are right they can be easier to use.
I think people have buttons just don't want to use them!
