PTI Blog Hop: Sweet Pea

It's the 15th of the month and that means the PTI Blog Hop! Here's this month's blog hop challenge:

This month we're calling all button lovers! Now's your chance to explore the world of possibilities that buttons hold! From borders to backgrounds, accents and embellishments, or even incorporating them into stamp images like any of our Button Bits stamp sets. From paper projects to home decor to jewelry and more, the sky's the limit! We want to see all your very best creations using buttons and the inspiration we will gain from each other should prove to be truly enticing!

If you'd like to participate along with the rest of PTI lovers, come and visit the PTI forum for all the festivities, here.

For my creation, I wanted to create a cute little onesie for a friend who is overdue with her first bundle of joy. Since she and her husband do not know what gender the baby is, I decided to create in green!


To create my back ground, I first started by creating the striped band across the body using my Background Basics: Retro stamp. I carefully masked off the bottom of the stripes and stamped on the pretty small violet from the Year of Flowers: Violet stamp set. Then I masked off the top of the stripes and stamped the little leaves from the Turning a New Leaf stamp set.

Then I stamped a single violet on some white cardstock and added a little Copic airbrushed colour and fun button to the center. I attached a little bit of mini trim along the base of the stripes and then attached my single violet using pop dots.

I added a little sparkle using some fine glitter to the violets with a little dimensional Copic colouring to the flower petals. I added some "bottom closure" buttons to the base of the card... and VOILA! A green cutesy onesie... fit for either a boy or girl!
