Last Saturday was our monthly SALSA meeting (Stampers At Large, Stamping Away) and I took part in the Mystery Item challenge. We got a strip of crochet ribbon with buttons attached. I hemmed and hawed and had an ah ha moment! If I would run some of our twine through the top and pull tight I could make a flower! So I set out to give it a try.
After making the ribbon into a circle I glued a die cut circle to the back to make it sturdy. Then I used our Scallop Circle dies to make the base and embossed it. I glued the ribbon to the scallop then, using glue dots of various sizes adhered down the buttons.
I added the flower center and a button from my sewing stash. I also ran the envelope through the embossing folder as we have to supply a decorated envelope.
