Crafty Sentiments: Add a charm and didn't they do well!

Good morning all - I hope you are well and happy. Its another day and on this one I've got to tell you all about this weeks new challenge from crafty sentiments - we want you to 'add a charm'. As simple as that! Check out the challenge blog here for details of the prize and also for all of the other DTs wonderful makes. I used the image called Jasmin-Dreams - from the wedding release in March I think it was. Here's what I did:


The card blank is one from Cupcake crafting and I've used some Kate Knight papers from a free stack from a magazine a long time ago. The stamped image has been coloured with promarkers and the die used is my fave spellbinders oval. The flowers are woc and the ribbon is from the pretty little ribbon shop. The charm is from the ribbon girl. The lace - now that could be woc or the ribbon girl - not sure!

I'd like to put my card into the following challenges:

Crafts and mecraftsandmechallenges: Lace
Totally Gorjusstotallygorjuss bingo - lace, ribbons, flowers.
Lacy Sunshinelacysunshinechallengeblog: Not square
PIOpileitonchallenge: For a teen
AIartisticinspirationschallenges: Lace and flowers
Cupcakecupcakecraftchallenges: Lots of layers.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with 6 lovely ladies at a craft morning that my running partner emma organises and usually runs- I took along embossing paste, stencils, distress ink and tags and they really did so well.



Mine is the one to the extreme right - we had one more person than I was expecting so I didn't have enough bookprint tags premade up - so I just used a piece of paper to demonstrate the techniques - I think they''re all wonderful and look so colourful together and so different from one another! It was a lovely morning ladies - thankyou for being so open to trying new crafty ideas!

Thats all for today - thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon! Big Hugs Rachel xx
