Flip-flopper

When I saw the freebie for the current Tellen's Place Challenge, I just had to mix it with the Flip-flop Card technique and the flip-flop digis I snagged from Shelly's Images.

I was really inspired by the
Buttons, Bows, Brads & Bling recipe at Dutch Dare Card Challenges. Happily, I had 2 sizes of blingy brads and star buttons that matched the paper perfectly.I used my Crop-O-Dile to punch a hole in the flower brad to insert the sentiment brad.

For the large flip-flops, I printed 2 pairs and popped it with foam tape. I edged the buttons, flip-flops, flower & sentiment brads, and mats with Copics.
