SOS Challenge #10 - Buttons, Blooms & Bananas

It's time for our 10th Challenge over at SOS (Shopping our Stash)!!  This week we want to see Buttons, Blooms or Bananas:

Let's gather up those odd buttons and blooms that have been waiting to be called into service!  Do you have a button jar full of old or mismatched buttons or scads of paper flowers?  How about coming up with a new way to use your buttons or blooms?  If that doesn't do the trick for you, how about digging out any vegetable and/or fruit themed stamps, papers or embellies? 


I went with Buttons & Blooms for my card and was able to use up some scraps & some felt flowers & buttons by Making Memories that I've had for quite some time.  I do have to confess that I used a new digi image from Arty Pants Digital Stamps for the sentiment though!  I LOVE this digi set too!!

The only thing was that I was wanting to distress the die cut with more red but the ink kept smudging so I left it.  I think I needed to let the ink dry a bit longer.  I'm just too impatient LOL!!  Be sure to check out SOS and play along with us this week :)
