Colourful Snail Birthday

I know, I really should put this set away, but I just love it so much.  All these cards and I have only used 2 of the 8 images!
   Button Buddies set - page 71; Wood Item 122735 - $36.95; CM Item 122737 - $26,95

I used Wild Wasabi for the background, an chose some Regals Designer Buttons for on top of the snail image.  This is really a quick and easy card to make.  Can you imagine it in Real Red cardstock with Brights Designer Buttons?  Who would not love to get one of these.

Here's the card for you ....

I sure wish the Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz showed in the pictures!  But oh my, it is so blingy.  I spritzed the entire cardfront as well as the flower image.  I am so excited that this flower image coordinates with the Scallop Circle punch, so you don't have to fussy cut it out!
Then I used the same layout and colours and just changed up the embossing folder to the new
   Stripes Embossing Folder - page 218; Item 123128; $9.95
I also stamped the flower image 3 times, and hand cut out two layers then used one of the
   Brights Designer Button - page 197; Item 119747; $10.95

And here is a closer view of the flower ....
