{TCPTUES157} Button Bear

Hey there fellow TCP fans (and if you aren't a fan, you better get on board!)...time for TCP Tuesday:) Today's challenge is brought to you by the super sweet, nuturing Cat-packer Julie. She has challenged her fellow kitties to get out the buttons! I LOVE buttons and had such plans to go button-nuts...but this card got away on me and took on a mind of it's own, and before I knew it, the card was done with only 2 stacked cork buttons (cut from my TCP buttons die) and a single green cord button, threaded with a TCP Divine Twine bow. But the card is done and I think sometimes more is not always more, so I had to let my desire to pile on the buttons go;) hehe!

My card features the sweet Big Bear from the sset 'Bear Hugs'...the sentiment inside is from that set and it also comes with a few other phrases.

Oh yeah, and I used one of my favorite and most versatile cutup dies on this as well, the Big Scallop die!! People- you HAVE to have this one...seriously, go to Costco and buy a case of KD to live on for a week and buy that die!!! Scurvy and Rickets will be worth it....trust me! LOL!

I wanted that cork button to have a bit of strength, so I just cut 2 and stacked them together. See Big Bears heart popped up on dimensionals and his lil paws too? I love alot of dimension on a card! Here is also a closer view of that great Divine Twine in 'Brown Sugar'.....

And the view from the other side...a little zig zag stitching on the vertical panel...cork scallop die included.

I kept the inside really simple, as the front is a little on the heavy side;) I think this would make a good all-occasion card..baby, friend, bday...whatever:) Another great TCP set!

Thanks for popping in! Head on over to the Dancing In Pajamas blog to see a list of the designers posting for today's challenge! And be sure to link up your card on that blog to be elidgeable to win weekly Cat Cash and your chance at the coveted title of TCP's Swanky Stamper of the Month!
