For the latest birthday card I created, I took the opportunity to feature buttons for the new Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenge...

Stamps: Amazing Birthday (wood: 134225, clear: 134228). Ink: Pumpkin Pie (126945), Tangerine Tango (126946), Bermuda Bay (131171). Card/Paper: Pumpkin Pie (108601), Whisper White (106549). Accessories: Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (127555), Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blendabilities Markers (130997), Gold Metallic Baker's Twine (132975).

I had fun with this card - masking and sponging with the Dots Decorative Mask in Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango inks. The card was finished with Vintage Faceted buttons, one I coloured with the Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities Marker and tied with the gold thread from the Metallic Baker's Twine. I love how I can custom-colour buttons to coordinate with my creations.
