This is a double challenge for yesterdays LSC and today's IC. It's based on this Buttons and Bows and Boobs - http://www.quiltersofsc.org/artfullbras/IMG_3721.jpg.
I'd already planned a quick and easy card as part of yesterday's LSC (we were to stretch ourselves in two ways. I knew I wouldn't have much time, if any, so I was planning a half hour tops including planning as one limitation, and using buttons as another. Well, I was only going to use a button, but I changed that when I saw the IC this morning. Quite apart from my sewing button box there is also my crafting one, and it's a shame how rarely I use them.
I got it done in just under half an hour, and that including finding the dry embossing tutorial with the search function for the Resource page not working, and a phone call.
I embossed my frame with the largest scalloped oval Nestabilities.
Glued on all my buttons, having added the ribbon stem first. Added the bow, and that's it.
I guess I might add a little sentiment down at the bottom somewhere when I know what it will be used for.
Thanks Judy and Stef for the challenges, and TFL. I know it's not OTT like all those amazing bras, but it's definitely inspired by the one I chose. I've never put that many buttons on anything except a dress or shirt before.
