Jenny’s Coat
Hello friends. Today I have a technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter called Jenny’s coat. Isn’t it pretty. My paper is from Stampin’ Up! in the colours of Real Red and Kiwi Kiss. Designer paper is from K&Co.
Using the same colour combination as above, I added my handmade polymer clay buttons. I love the distressed look of my buttons, don’t you? I’ll let you in a little secret. My distressed buttons were created by accidentally burning them in the oven.

Oh my heavens this totally ROCKS! I love the deep red with your buttons!
Beautiful technique Beth, AND I especially love the button technique.
It is ULTRA pretty! Love the Boho-Chic kind of look to it & what a fabulous result with the baked buttons.
It´s sooo awesome hun, and your bottoms are really cool. Did you know, than when you have baked them in the owen, you can paint them with any kind of craftpaint or even just give them a coat of some lacquer, it gives them a complete different look again, and not a bad one either. The kids loves to do that with fridge magnets, when they´re making them out of clay too. And we´ve even used just a Copic marker to color them, so you can always get the color, that fits for any projects you´re making.
I love both your cards, and it´s really amazing how just swapping the colors around is changing the entire look of the same card. They don´t look the least the same until you look really close. Awesome work again hun. Have a wonderful week-end dear friend and have lots of crafty fun.
I agree with all the comments Beth! You do make me smile with your tongue in cheek descriptions when you get ‘accidentally on purpose results! Ha Ha!
Those two cards are so very pretty and really stylish! Way to go my friend!!! Love Viv xxx
how neat! and GREAT buttons!!! love that idea! hmm – guess I’d better pull out my clay again.
This is a great technique. Love the end result you got. And I’m blown away by your hand made buttons. What a great idea to make your own! Hope you are well! Best, Curt
