Buttons and Tags

Hello and welcome.  A lovely sunny day today.   Luckily I completed most of this project last night.  Over at PaperArtsy Liz Borer made a lovely doll with a button book.  The doll is a bit beyond my available time at the moment but definitely something to remember.  She is lovely.  So I thought I'd have a go at the shrink plastic buttons.  I didn't have any of the stamps Liz used so I looked thru my PaperArtsy stash and.....

I cut some circles of shrink plastic, stamped with the flower from USNT4 and coloured it.   My first attempt was a bit wiggly, the one on the right, but then I thought I got it!!  I am using clear shrink plastic so I painted the backs with white acrylic. 

Such fun.  I also made a set using the moth from SIEN10F and coloured the backs with gold acrylic.  I made button cards using a Crafty Individuals stamp and coloured with distress ink.  Then I decided to make some using the girl from the Bloom stamp set

I used archival ink on my shrink plastic and it bled.  Not a problem on simple lines but these were a bit more detailed so they came out a bit darker than I was hoping for.  What ink did you use Liz?  Anybody have any suggestions.  

I thought it would be fun to mount these on cards with the full size stamp on it.  The one on the right is a bit pale in her face.  Don't know why.  Maybe she's getting ready for Halloween. 

 I decided to make my button cards into tags.
