Whimsy Challenge: Buttons!

Hello, and happy Monday! And you know what that means, right? NO?!?! Well, it's another Whimsy Stamps challenge! Last week's theme was fall, but it was my week off; I thought this week I'd combine them.  =D

I usually make standard A2 cards, but I decided to do a 6x6 card this time. I used the sketch over at CPS for my card, decided to do some more watercoloring and made my own flowers. I just got a new set of nesties - the small octagons - and couldn't wait to put them to work. I not only cut the image and its mat, but decided to make some flowers, too. I used the same papers to continue the color scheme I had going, and popped a button in the center of each flower. To give the flowers a little more dimension, I scored from corner to corner and folded, then used adhesive in just the center of the flower back so they could pull up away from the card front a bit.

Have a terrific day, and we can't wait to see your take on this week's challenge!
