Dutchdare challenge - Charms

For this week's DDCC challenge, charms, I have used this gorgeous new Sugar Nellie designed by Elizabeth Bell. I stamped her in Versafine Sepia and coloured her in blues and brown. The papers are coredinations, run through my embossing folders and distressed. I inked the edges of the papers and images with a papermania pad. I added snowflake charms on wire and ribbon from my stash. I used some Stickles (waterfall) to pick out bits of the snowflake embossing and the stamped snowflakes, and added pale blue gems to the middle of the prima flowers.
I hope you have time to join in the challenge this week.

Sarah Kay Charm

This week's Sarah Kay challenge is to use charms, pendants or dangles! I don't have any charms in my stash, however Vicky has sent me a lovely card with a charm and some beautiful flowers on it. Sadly Beth has started to de-construct it as only a nearly 2 year old can!! So I have taken the charm off it (before she eats it!!) and put it in this card. Thank you Vicky! It is supposed to hang down, but it insisted on flying in the scanner!
The papers are K and Co and Making Memories and the flowers are Prima. The ric-rac is from my stash.

ABC challenge C is for ...

This week's ABC challenge is to use charms in your creation. I have made an anniversary card for my brother and sister-in-law.
I decided not to use a stamped image for a change, but to use another form of embellishment. So I have used text from a Making Memories Defined set as the focal point, which I have matted onto cream hammered card. The charm is the metal heart which I have threaded ribbon through. The papers are a selection of Papermania papers, some prima flowers, and ribbons and pearls from my stash.
