I feel like I haven't crafted in a month... so many hours at hospitals out of town. Why is it that hospitals are so exhausting, even if you're not the patient? Ugh. Back to the good stuff. Paper, Ink, and embellishments!
This week at Card Crafter's Circle, we have a fun challenge.... we want you to create with BUTTONS. One of my favourite embellishments, although really, more of an addiction. I love buttons. When I run my fingers through a bowl of buttons, I feel like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his Money Bin! 
I used an image from the AKV (A Kid's View) Earth series. I love this image, and have had it a while, but never used it... I love it... reminds me of playing with an Earth Ball as a kid at camp, and the song "Whole World In His Hands". I coloured the image with a Copic and glitter pens, and trimmed it to size. I created three blue layers and fixed them together.
With a button I had gussied up as our planet earth, I threaded some knotted paper twine through, and fixed it to the image, over the earth he was already holding. I fixed this layer to the cardbase, then added a vertical embellishment, of a paper strip and paper twin threaded through a buckle button. To finish, I added rhinestones to the image layer.
