100 days of Paper Buttons

Hey there, fellow creative artists and button enthusiasts!

Welcome to my world of Paper Buttons, where vibrant colors, mixed media techniques, and endless imagination collide.

Let's dive right in and explore the magic that unfolded during my unforgettable 100 Days with Paper Buttons project! It was a blast 🤩🤩

For 100 days, I unleashed my inner artist and experimented with a dozen of different mixed-media techniques to create the most amazing backgrounds for my Paper Buttons. From splashing colors with abandon to blending textures like a boss, I tapped into a whole new realm of creativity that I didn't know I possessed. It was like discovering a secret superpower! I feel I could make more than 50 days exploring new ideas and techniques. I still have some I didn’t explore! 😍😍

Oh, the sheer joy of watching my Paper Buttons come to life!

I played with a kaleidoscope of pop colors that practically jumped off the page, grabbing attention from across the room.

But, wait, that's not all! I also indulged my nostalgic side and crafted vintage-inspired buttons that radiated a timeless charm and whimsical elegance. It was like stepping into a time machine while staying firmly rooted in my craft room!

But here's where the fun really took off!

I brainstormed over 30 imaginative ways to incorporate my marvelous Paper Buttons and their awe-inspiring backgrounds into my art journals and junk journals.

These little treasures became the stars of the show, stealing the spotlight as eye-catching focal points, exquisite embellishments, and even standalone art pieces. I was in awe of the endless possibilities that unfolded before my eyes!
