ABC "C" Challenge


Well it's time for the ABC "C" challenge , and this week it is to make a card using charms. I thought I would submit this card I made for my friend's birthday, as although it is simple the charm is integral to the card's design rather than being incidental. I used the PB stamp "Light the Night" coloured with pearlescent paints and watercolour pencils, and masked the handbag part of the stamp so I could replace it with a metal handbag charm. I tried to introduce a fun element with the leopardskin organza ribbon and mottled card on the matting. The "birthday" sentiment is a masked stamp from a See-D, and the die cut letters are Cuttlebug Hippie Chick alphabet.
