Charisma Cardz Challenge #40

THIS IS NOT MY FIRST POST OF THE DAY SO PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FURTHER IF YOU NEED TO! THANK YOU! 


The challenge set by Charisma Cardz Challenge Blog this week is to make a card using their "recipe", which is as follows:-
1 Ribbon
3 Flowers
3 Papers
1 Charm


For the papers, I used my K & co Hopscotch designer papers, choosing 3 different patterened papers, one as a frame and the other 2 as a background for the "inside" of the frame.
For the flowers, I used a flower punch to cut out some of the waste paper left over from trimming the papers to fit the card blank (waste not, want not) and then added a gem to the centre of each flower.
For the ribbon I found some silver ribbon I had and I coloured this using my Terracotta Promaker pen so it would match in with my card.
For the charm, I  found a sunflower charm in my craft box and I used my cropadile to place eyelets in my card, so I could thread thin wire through the holes, which held the charm.
Finally I found a decoupaged bear in my craft box so I added this to the card to finish the challenge.


This challenge is on till 8pm GMT on Wednesday 14th October 2009.
