Happy Boot Day
I received this delightful card as a swap at the Stampin’ UP! Convention from Nancy Alverez, who lives in Florida. Nancy is the up line of my Peep, Susan Fields. I have to tell you that I had heard a lot of (all good) stories about Nancy and expected to meet a real Southern Lady. To my surprise, the first thing I heard when I met her was a New York accent. So instead of meeting the Southern Bell at last, I met a Grand Brooklyn Bell. I cherish the time we spent together in Utah.
I made a few changes to the card, one being the button. I made the button using Simply Pressed Clay tinted with Crumb Cake Reinker. Once it dried completely, I sponged the rim with Early Express and carefully tied a knot using Linen Thread. I found (by accident) that leaving the mold in the freezer a little longer than 10 minutes (almost forgot all about it) works much better with the button molds.
Loved the way this man card turned out. Yahoo!
