Wednesday Stamper - BUTTONS are the new challenge for the next 2 weeks! Got some favorite buttons you’ve been wanting to use or a new idea to use them? One button is just fine as well and it doesn’t matter whether you use a store, homemade or stamped button.

I decided to go bright and funky in defiance of the miserable July weather. The flower stamps are by a huge Making Memories foam set - fab value you get 25 -30 for around £10. The stalk is from a Francois Reed Woodware set. I find them a bit tricky to use, they don't give a very sharp impression.

The stitching was done using one of those Cutterbee pricking thingies I got yesterday. Have to say, I am not impressed. They failed to prick through the thin cardstock I used, opting instead for a half-hearted dent . I had to go back over the area punching through with a needle before I could start sewing. V. poor.
