VASE IT Pie lane way.

Added sand to the container and stuck in the button blooms.

I have a tough time playing along with recycle it challenges ...firstly because I am obsessed with cleaning and getting rid of packages,broken stuff etc and secondly I hit an Artist's block( analogy to writer's block) when it comes to recycling.So here is my humble take on the current challenge at PPS.
have used an old container...prettied it up with Pie lane buttons...loads of them and voila ....here is a vase with button flowers and a button wreath  wound around the neck to pretty up its humble appearence .Only probem is it is Upcycled and not recycled.Its a container lying for ages in my house and I thought this would be a nice way of using it.DH pointed out that recycled means something that has been used and then prettied up.So I am not sure if this is appropriate for PPS.

look at those buttons,butterflies and sheer yumminess.

I am on a explosion card making spree and I have not one but two to show you today as a part of the invitations I churned out for the ladies Club.A lot similar to the first one but...better In my opinion.I had a blast making these.I am in the middle of extreme social activities happening with one dinner to host this weekend and so my ramblings are gonna be short .

Patriotic Colors

I found the challenges  at Sentimental Sundays pretty interesting.they are asking you to make something using the colors of your country's flag.My country's flag has green ,saffron and white color and here is my take on it.
I have used the sketch provided by sentimental sundays.
The INSIDES.

INSIDES

I used scraps to stick on an old invitation and then die cut it to get a flourish.

Ombre card

Believe me . I had no clue till last night what this word meant.But I am glad that I figured out not only its meaning but also the way to execute it.Thanks to BGC.
I have two posts tonight so keeping this short.
Well Ombre means shaded in tones with colours graduatimg from light to dark.
I painted the BG for the stamped image with acrylic paints.I also pasted masking tape and coloured in hues of Blue before cutting it into clouds.
