Well I have had a go and given it my best shot! As always 'click image to enlarge'
My friend Kath gave me some beer mats - which I have prepared with Gesso, so decided to use one for this challenge.
A scrap and I mean a scrap it only just fitted the coaster - of ancient material - I knew it would come in handy - was used to cover one side of the coaster.
I printed out an image and enhanced it with inks - love that blue colour! It took ages to dry! I then cut out the section I wanted, and glued that on too. I cut out a little phrase and adhered that too - rather fiddly!
I found some vintage buttons in my rusty old button tin, and stuck those on too - I was going to sew them but the coaster is rather thick so didn't want to risk messing it u
I added blue to the buttons to take off the shine a bit - but I might wipe it off - as I am not 'sure about it' what do you think? I either need to add a lot more blue - or to return them back to their original colour.
I distressed the material so that was frayed and ran a black ink pad around it to enhance the fraying.

Love that image you've chosen and I think the buttons are ok - well they look ok on my screen because they pick up the blue on the girl's dress.
Lovely.
