For Lisa's craft challenge today at the tea party, I pulled one of my gel prints from my stash, some assorted buttons for my love of fiber crafts, and some small gauge wire for my used to be favorite craft of shaping wire. I added the die to hold the wire pieces onto the card.

Oh my goodness I love this stunning card. That wire is a great crafty item especially with those gorgeous flowers. The buttons really pop beautifully and are the perfect crafty item for the flowers. Christi is going to love this stunning card.

I think that gelli print was the perfect background for those button flowers. You are so good with the wire! Beautiful leaves and a brilliant idea to hold them on with the sentiment die cut!

You are so creative.. I have some of that crafting wire and never thought of using it like this, usually just as a stem...you made such neat leaves, so so neat, and over a pretty blue bg with whimsical cute flowers....LOVE it...(especially too the polkadotted button, so fun)

I am so impressed with your wire-shaping skills, Jean. I used to have a little jig for it but I think I gave it away because I found it so hard to get a nice smooth shape. I still have all the wire though!! The button flowers look fab on your beautiful gel print.

This is so cool looking! I love your wired leaves, your buttoned flowers -- so so pretty against that light blue!!
