I made these cards with digital elements I received free with my UK Complete Cardmaking magazine. The CD had a section called "not for girls." Perfect! Just what I needed.
For the first card this is what my screen looked like. There were so many digital files to choose from that my screen was packed with possibilities. I choose one sentiment and then added it to the bottle cap image to make a special button for the card.
For the second card my screen was even busier!
In the end these are the four elements I selected to make that card. Two pieces of back ground paper and two images I tweaked to make 1 1/2 inch buttons for the card. Assembly was quick and easy with the addition of a little ribbon. Working digitally always gives me great ideas for future projects.
