Buffalo Shoebox Project

It is hard to find enough supplies for 20+ card kits, and I don't want to wimp out on things that make the card special. This shoebox project has been a struggle for me. Well, I knew what main image I wanted, but for the rest? Here's how it came out.

I love this dandelion image from A Happy Heart set, and it was on my wish list for so long. My daughter and I have been stopping to blow the "dandelion fuzz" lately, so it's a perfect choice for my project. I used my coluzzle to cut out the main image, and then used a acetate template and sponged the inside of the oval with Creamy Caramel - my favorite feature! The Not Quite Navy background was texturized with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I tried forever to tie a bow, but it just wasn't working for me, so a knot it was. Hopefully the other ladies have better luck than me! Sew a button on with linen thread, and there you have it! Once I read the sentiment, and look back at the image, it made me kinda sad. I'll have an assortment of sentiments, so each stamper can choose their own card "feeling".
