Well, it certainly has been a while since I've stamped. As a matter of fact, it had been so long, I forgot how fun was. Most of my creative time has been taken up by my new hobby - woodworking. I have been making doll furniture...high chairs, picnic tables, beds and bedding, and I just haven't had the creative energy to stamp.
But I've had the itch.
So I scratched it today and made a couple cards. While my mojo was a little stagnant, and it took a lot longer than it should have to make them, I am mostly pleased with my cards.
Not sure about the color combo on this one, but it is what it is. At least I tried! All three buttons are clear embossed, but it's hard to tell by the picture.
I love the variety of the faux buttons on this one. A couple of them are clear embossed to give them more of a real button look. And the best part about faux buttons is no hassle when mailing! I shaded the stems, leaves and sentiment with a darker color of green. Love how that turned out, too.
See, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. :)

Great cards Karen. I'm especially fond of the button balloons in the first one. So cute!
