Hahahaha!
I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Okay, what the heck is she talking about now?!” LOL I’m just wondering your position on “dressed” or “undressed” buttons! I have such a hard time adhering buttons without something “dressing” the holes of the buttons. How about you?! Do you think they should be dressed or undressed?!
So I wanted to really quickly share a card that I made this afternoon for this week’s Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. Cath always has the most interesting inspiration pieces for her Tuesday Trigger challenges and this one is no exception. I was inspired by so many aspects of this photo. Of course the gray and turquoise color combo goes without saying – SWOON! But I also loved the eyelet lace, as well as the empire waist – to me that set the layout. Oh, and don’t forget that amazing damask flourish on the front of the dress – DELISH!! Please notice that my button is NOT nekkid! LOL

Lovely Card!!
WOW! Love your take on the challenge! Great card :)
beautiful card! I usually dress my buttons...but there are times where being undressed works! So I guess it all depends on the project :)
Pretty take on the trigger!!

Hey Karolyn! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
wow great take on the trigger... love it
Gorgeous take on the Trigger, Karolyn!
My take on the dressed/undressed dilemma is this: buttons used as embellishments must be dressed, but buttons intended to stand as objects do not. So if you make a sewing card, with buttons scattered across it, they don't need to be dressed.
An awesome take on the photo inspiration Karolyn, you have so much detail in a CAS card it's untrue!
Me not fussed either way with my buttons...depends what I'm embellishing with them :)

It really bugs me when I see a beautiful card that has all sorts of techniques and embellishments but then naked buttons!! Definitely dressed - your card is gorgeous!!
oh la la! This is GORGEOUS, Karolyn!! I love the button on the dress and colors are perfect!!
your card is stunning Karolyn!!
Dressed, dressed, dressed! I hate a nekkid button!
Even though I don't do this much anymore, I have to say that when I did, dressed buttons were a MUST! Love this card...so chic!
I Love this!!!
