Greetings and welcome to my weekly Creative Inspirations post. This week our challenge is Charms. I thought most of the DTs would be using metal charms so I took a detour and used a Tim Hotltz Fragament Charm. It's clear lucite to which I glued a punched out circle with a clover on it. The clover was digitally cropped out of the Irish Audrey digital image from The Stamping Boutique. I enlarged it a bit, printed it and colored it with Copics. Then I ink distressed the edges and punched it out with a circle punch. Then I spread a little Crystal Effects on it and immediately pressed the fragament onto it.
Most of the DP is from Lucky Me from Raspberry Road Designs, a digital company plus I used Glorious Green and Green Galore CS from SU. I started out using just the green tone from Green Galore, but decided to mix it up a little. The cute little Audrey image was colored with Copics and the ink distressing was done using Frayed Burlap distress ink from Tim Holtz.
I was rushing on this a bit because I was also trying to finish a card for my DD's 21st birthday before we left to take her out to dinner. After looking at the card again later in the evening, I decided it was pretty plain and could use some more embellishing, but too late. I had already submitted it to Creative Inspirations for publication so I had to go with it that way. At least it has a ribbon and some brads to spruce it up a bit.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all the lovely comments. Hope you are having a wonderful week! Please take time to stop by the Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge Blog to see what the other designers have made for this challenge. The prize this week is a 10% discount at The Handy Hippo, so you'll want to make a card and be entered into our challenge.
Blessings.
