CPS 114 Cute As A Button, Take 2

A new week means a new sketch over at the CPS, Card Positioning Systems Blog. I created this cute card for this weeks sketch challenge & for my Girlfriends new baby boy. I'll be meeting him soon & I needed a card to go with my gifts. I thought this sketch was perfect for the occasion!

After making this other baby card last week, I once again used the new Dustin Pike image, Jenny Giraffe, by DRS Designs for this baby card along with their "Cute as a Button" sentiment too. Jenny was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used this technique to cut her out & emboss the edges using my Nesties in one pass through my Cuttlebug. Before I took it out of the Nestie die, I sponged blue ink around the image, creating the frame look.

The rest of the card just follows the sketch, but I used the SU! Word Window Punch to accent the sentiment. I layered it on a yellow button & then set it inside a Prima flower. Then I actually sewed the yellow thread in the button holes & adhered them on both sides of the layered sentiment.
