Happy Birthday Little Dude

Today I'm sharing this cute little fellow named 'Dude'  from All Dressed Up Digital Stamps.  I've used him for a card swap challenge to 'Use a Button'.

 I sized the image for an A2 card front, printed and then colored him with Copic markers.   

I used a Double Notched Rectangle die for the image and the red mat. After die cutting, I used Copic B28 along the edges for better contrast.  I used a navy card base and secured the layers as shown.  Then I added the navy 'happy birthday' at the bottom and the white organza ribbon at the fold.  

Then the 'most important piece' ~ the little button.  I took a very thin strip of blue cardstock for the button 'thread'.  Then I added the button to the top of the boy's hat. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
