Moms Are Like Buttons That Hold Things Together

 Hello there friends!

These are true words right? And I made the background paper together with one of my grandchildren, we played around with some different watercolors...


...then I used the Button Blossoms stamp set from Stampendous for the flowers. I cut out some of them and layered them to create some dimension, I also added some Glossy Accents. There's not much more to say about it, I think.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
