Charisma Challenge #2 - Fruity Colours

Morning all

Well, what an AMAZING week we had last week at Charisma Cards Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is

FRUITY COLOURS

So get crafting!! Here is my creation:

Recipe:

• DCWV card
• DCWV 'Sweet' stack
• DCWV 'Sweet' chipboard sentiment
• Button from stash
• Ribbons from stash
• Brads from ebay

I have to admit, the button flower turned out much larger than I had originally thought - but to be honest, think I quite like the oversize version!!!

I can actually put this card into a few other challenges:

1. Crafters Companion #2 (mon) - use colours Orange & Yellow (card & ribbons)
2. A Spoonfull of Sugar #87 (Tue) - Lots of layering - yep, got lots!
3. Crafty Catz #15 - Birthday card - this is a birthday card for my auntie!
4. Pile it On #2 (Sun) - Use at least 3 ribbons - I have used loads!!
5. Creative Inspirations #24 (Sat) - Distressing - yep, edges & filed embossing!
6. Sew Many Challenges - Anything Goes
7. Paper Cutz Challenge #24 - Summer/beach theme. Well, do summery colours count?!
   
   

Ciao for now!!
