Button it up

The theme this week at Sweet Pea Stampers is Button it up! So here is my creation. I stamped "The Dragonfly" stamp in vintage photo distress ink then used a water brush to blend the colour through. I had some scraps of button themed papers that I used and a Tim Holtz tag, a couple of dragonfly brads and some flowers and this is what I came up with. The lace at the bottom is actually a sticker.
