Seriously? for Pinque Peacock and Friends With Flair

It's Friday, and time for a product spotlight at Pinque Peacock. I'm spotlighting the large fabric buttons.  They're big, they're bold, and they're beautiful.  I was given two of them to work with to showcase today.  Both of them are so pretty all by themselves.

Pink Snakeskin

Summer Safari

These 1 1/2 inch buttons work so well for 3D projects because of their size.  Here's what I created with the Pink Snakeskin button:

This cute little heart-shaped box was cut out on my Silhouette. I found the shape in the Silhouette Online Store. It's by Snapdragon Snippets.  I made a floral ribbon to support the button from 3 Girl JAM Tuxedo Black crinkle ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle.

Here's another view:

I had a great time with the Summer Safari 1.5 inch button.  I made another box.  This one, I cut out on my Cricut, using the Cricut Artiste cartridge:

Isn't that owl just the cutest?  This is Bernie, a Unity Stamp Company Itty Bitty. I colored him with Copic markers, then used some Stickles glitter glue on his hat and a Viva Decor Pearl pen on the snow on the branches. The paper is a retired paper from Close To My Heart, but I thought it was the perfect match for this Summer Safari button.  The ribbon is once again 3 Girl JAM.  I used Cherry Lipstick from the Pink & White Bundle.

And, another view of the button, owl, and box...

I love these buttons! There's a great variety of them in the Pinque Peacock shop.  Check them out and see where your creativity takes YOU!

I also want to share a few pictures from last Saturday.  My husband and I were on the Northern-most tip of Wisconsin, at the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.  These are ice caves, formed by the waves of Lake Superior and sandstone cliffs.

 We had a perfect day for our adventure -- blue sky, no wind, and 17 degrees.  It doesn't get better than that in January in Wisconsin!

 We weren't the only ones that hiked 2 miles across frozen Lake Superior to reach the caves.  There were probably over 1000 people there that day.

 I think a troll or hobbit lives in this cave!

My very strong husband had to hold up that icicle or the whole side of the cliff would have fallen down.  Good thing he was there!
I shared a few different pictures in yesterday's post, and I'm saving a few more for Monday's post.  I hope you enjoyed them.  It's a very beautiful, unique experience.
