'This Ones For You' Shaped Scrap Card...

Yooooo hoooooo!!

Its me again!!

I've actually been getting more time to craft than I thought I would...the trick is, getting up early!!

My Son doesn't drag himself out of bed before about 9:30, so I just make sure to grab a couple of hours in my craft room first thing! simples...

Theres a couple of challenges out there at the moment for shaped cards, and I've been meaning to join in all week, but couldn't decide on a shape! LOL!

Here's what I finally ended up with....

This card was actually created around the button... I was messing about last night with the Ranger enamel accents I bought with my winnings over at Simon Says... and I added a bit of a pattern to a plain red button...

Then I found the perfect matching stripy red fabric in my bag of fabric scraps, I think this was a pocket lining from some shorts... The mesh fabric was a belt tie from an old top...

I created the main circle of the card using strips of scraps from my scrap drawer!! YEY for me! I havent been in there for a while! feels good to not waste stuff... think I might try to create more cards like this to use up more!

The card looked too small with just the circle, so I punched a load of small circles out of scrap Kraft card... cut them in half, and added them around the edge...

The oh so gorgeous Lilith from Tickled Pink is coloured with promarkers and derwent pencils...

I originally stamped the sentiment directly on the card, but I pressed too hard and got a horrible ink line round the edges...grrrrr!! fortunately I found a precut circle in my scraps box MATCHING one of the strips I'd used on the background!!! How perefect is that!!
so I stamped it again... and did a 'cover up' shhhhhhh!
its from the Greeting Farm spotlight set...
The bracket (from the same set) is stamped with red ink, and I've cut it out....
(don't know if you can see, but I've added a bit of enamel accents to some of the white dots)
added a few crystals, and a bit of doodling, and thats it!!

Is it wrong that I really like this card??
 I don't think I've made a shaped Card before...(I'm a bit of a square:)) but I think I might be making more in future!!
