Charmed!
Good afternoon! Yes, I’m running a little behind this morning. Miss Ellie needed to go to the vet this morning for her annual check up. She was happy to go for a car ride, but none too happy with me when we arrived at the vets’ office. I don’t think she’ll come running the next time I shout “car ride - let’s go.”
When I got back from my “little errand,” I checked out the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast. I’ve tried to get to the challenges all week, and I did get to the Sketch, but today’s was just perfect. The challenge today is to use a charm on your project. A few years ago I bought tons of those little dollar charm bracelets at the flea market and tore them all apart. I have a stash of charms. However, all the new ones that I just purchased at Tuesday Morning, I can’t find. CRS? Maybe! Unorganized? Maybe! Just really forgetful? You bet! Anyhoo, here’s my card today.
I colored the image with Copic Markers and then cut the panels for the image with my square Nestabilities. I sanded the edges of all the background paper and added dots with a white opaque pen.
- Stamps: Harvest Blessings by Anna Wight from Whipper Snapper Designs
- Paper: Memory Box Homespun Collection; SU Riding Hood Red
- Ink: Tsukineko Brilliance Graphite Black; Ranger Archival Jet Black
- Accessories: Copic Markers; Classic and Scallop Square Spellbinders Nestabilities; SU Scallop Punch; Ranger Inkssentials White Opaque Pen; Ribbon; Charm; Venture Foam Tape; Sanding Block
I hope you have a wonderful day!
This is so sweet, Sherry!
The word that comes to mind immediately when I look at this card is charming! This card exudes sweetness. It is simply beautiful! Best, Curt
Love you pretty little card, Sherry…such beautiful coloring and I love the charm!! Thanks for the info about the charm bracelets…..great idea!!
Absolutely adorable!!!
Sherry - I love this card! The overall first impression is wonderful, and the details are amazing. I can really see what a perfectionist you are by looking at the stripes and how everything is so perfectly lined up - awesome! Simple - but not really:) Nice use of the charm, too.
Very cute!! Love that charm!
I’m still sitting here with my grunge board and charms just waiting for 5 min of peace (cross all those fingers and 9 toes that I will find it this weekend!! I REALLY need a break!)
Love that paper, perfect for your apple theme, cute charm too!
Love this Sherry!
I hear ya on the forgetful part, 2 peas I tell ya
Love this Sherrie — great layout, beautiful coloring, and wonderful papers & accessories! Glad to see you are back to blogging again!
