So once you check out my project why don't you head on over to the Buttons Galore & More Blog to be sure you don't miss out on any of the great projects we have for you today!

For my project I wanted to show you how to put those awesome Sharpie Paint Markers to good use! This is not my typical card...it's far more "scrappy & graphic" than my ususal style but I loooooove how it turned out! I started by taking my chipboard letters and applying 2-3 coats of the Sharpie Marker Oil Based Paint Pens to the top surface of the letters using the Lime Green & Aqua Medium Point pens. Having just the right sized point really helped me to apply the paint in an accurate manner on such thin pieces of chipboard. While I allowed the letters to dry for a moment I then die cut a tiny cream oval and framed it using Buttons Galore & More SeaGlass Tin of buttons...I then die cut the butterfly, adhered it using 3-D foam squares over top in the center and then assembled the rest of the card. I hope you enjoy!!
