How Charming!

 It's time for a new challenge over at Fab n Funky and this week the theme is 'charms', so you need to be using a charm somewhere on your creation.

Now I don't know about you but I have a fair few charms in my collection.....and do you know why? Well, I buy them, and then I can't bear to part with them as I generally save them for 'special' cards!

Ironically, the one I have used on this card was a freebie from a magazine, but it has made me think that I really need to get those charms out and make use of them, so you might see a few more of them popping up in future posts!

For this card I have made good use of my Grand Nestabilities for the matting and layering, and I have printed a gorgeous Besties image which I have coloured with promarkers and decoupaged up in three layers.
I was going for a pastel appearance but I am not sure if I have gone  too far and made it a bit wishy washy!!

There are lots of other lovely cards for you to feast your eyes on over at Fab n Funky so I do hope you will come over and join us.

Finally - let's not forget about some of the other fun challenges out there:

    Lovely colour combo Sharon. Gorgeous card shape too and I LOVE how you've suspended the lovely locket charm from the Memory Box bow. Very clever. Hugs, Wends x

    I love the shape of your card and the pretty colour combo. This image is adorable and the heart charm looks great hanging from the bow. I tend to hoard my charms too and only use them for special cards.

    The pastel shades work beautifully here, not wishy washy at all, just really pretty and the charm is a lovely finishing touch. I have lots of charms too and have been starting to use them more recently so you can do it!

    Big hugs, Kat xx
