I made this first card for both challenges:

My son wanted to make a card with me last night. Every now and then he likes to do that. So he checked out all of the challenges, and decided on the buttons. So this card is just for the Whimsy Stamps challenge. Here is his card:

We embossed the teal and tan paper with a Cuttlebug folder, and we put pigment ink on the folder. Then after it was embossed, we added some sparkly embossing powder and my son heated it with the heat gun. He really wanted to use the heat gun, so that is why we used that technique. I used a Fiskars edge punch on the teal cardstock.
The final detail on this card that I must point out is the bow. I struggle with bows everytime I try to make one. So he wanted to make the bow, and I thought that was a great idea! He tied that bow perfectly! WOW! I tightened it up for him, but he is the one who tied it. I told him he was now in charge of all bows on my cards!
