Hello everyone! I went back to work today after the FLU! Everyone looked at me like I was contagious! I hope noone gets sick or I will be blamed. It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC102)! Cindy Haffner is the host this week! She is challenging us to use some hardware. I am using Flourishes Lace Hearts stamp set. For my hardware, I am using a BasicGrey decorative brad that I have inserted into a button. I generally can wrap the prongs around on the back. Sort of like the prongs are hugging the button. I love this look because it takes some much neglected brads and gives them a new look. Also, I think it makes the button look a bit dressier or more vintage! I have been using this look quite a bit lately. I have lots of brads and buttons! Here are a couple of links (sunflower card, quote card) showing this button/brad combo if you are interested. I am using the sketch from Card Patterns 99. Naturally, I had to turn mine upsidedown. I am also using the colors from SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC307)!
As always thanks so much for stopping by! Check out the other Flourishes blog team members and see what they created with hardware!
