Bearly Mine DT new home card

Hi everyone, am back with another Bearly Mine Challenge for this week, and the theme is to use a charm on your project. 

I chose this cute little key for a new home card and teamed the Bearly mine papers from the Spring Blossom range with one of Meljen's cute images. 

the sentiment is from Lily of the Valley stamped onto coloured card

I coloured the image with promarkers this time using Caramel, sandstone, burnt sienna, meadow green, apple, grass, yellow, buttercup, gold, berry red and also glacier blue and antique white flemarkers.

A side on view to show the layers and punched key edge  and dimensional liquid pearls (I love this technique ever since I saw it on a couple of other blogs and decided to try it for the first time with this whimsical looking image).

Make sure you pop over and join in the challenge.

 If you cant attach your charms successfully try jump rings of various sizes, but be sure to buy some cheap jewelry pliers as the small ones cant be bent with your fingers alone! links to jump ring suppliers on eBay are on my retail therapy page

I am also entering this card into Meljen's Pearls Challenge

Flourishes Feminine Charm # 3

yayy the sun is out and its bright and sunny so far today so was up early to enjoy the good weather.

still catching up on posts and here is another card from the Flourishes Feminine Charm set.

the sentiment is also from the same set and used one of my all time favourite cuttlebug embossing folders. Inked the topper while still in the nestie die and the edges of the embossed card with antique linen distress ink.

Used shiny organza ribbon on this one and if you click on the picture above to get a larger image you can see the colouring with polychromos pencil crayons, to which I didn't add sansodor this time as I liked the texture and it suited this card not to apply the spirit.
