What art offers is space...a certain breathing room for the spirit. ~John Updike

I made this last week. I was in the mood for old/vintage/etc. Most of the images are Oxford Impressions. (One Tim Holtz thrown in for good measure.) To make the silver button, I put a piece of plumbers tape (looks like silver metal) on top of a piece of c/s. Then I used a Sizzix button die cut with my Cuttlebug. I hammered it with Tim's distressing hammer and rubbed a little brown Staz On on the high spots...it ended up looking just like hammered metal!

This is wonderful, and love how you made the button

Plumbers tape? I've never played with that - guess I have to make a trip to Home Depot!
