Cute as a Button

Here's my card for today's SCS clean and simple challenge. My card is based on several elements of the challenge's inspiration photo featuring a collection of baby bibs--the elephant image, the dots, and the colors.

I stamped the elephant image from Papertrey Ink's Bitty Baby Blessings set on a piece of dotted paper and cut it out. I stamped the image a second time, this time cutting out just the ear so I could set it on the image with foam tape. I haven't used this set in a while--I'd forgotten how cute it is!

The elephant is set on a partial circle panel that's embossed with a dotted pattern. After attaching the circle to a white card base, I added five different colored buttons "balanced" over the elephant's trunk. Glue dots hold the buttons in place. I stamped the "cute as a button" sentiment from the Baby Button Bits set in teal ink next to the panel in blue ink to finish the super quick card.
