Happy Birthday at Charisma Cardz

Time to Celebrate.....it is Charisma Cardz 3rd birthday!   This week our theme is Happy Birthday, and just wait until you see all the lovely creations from the DT....both teams!  Be sure to check out the challenge and all the lovely prizes from our generous sponsors.....and then get crafting!  Looking forward to seeing what you can all create!

This week I've played with an image from one of our sponsors, Meljen's Designs, and it's so aptly called Little Bo Peep.  I liked the idea of the 3 little sheep to go along with our 3rd birthday!  After colouring with copics, I've cut it out with my Nestie die and then edged it with DI.

Now, I've given a sketch a try this time.......I don't do them too often, as I'm not the best at following directions (ha ha!), but this one captured my interest.

For the circular elements I have used a stencil and distress ink, with a little perfect pearls added for a bit of shine.

The papers are from the Basic Grey Picadilly collection....some of the goodies I received for Christmas.  I've kept it all nice and simple, letting the image and papers speak for themselves.

Thanks again for visiting, and your lovely comments are most appreciated.  Once again, my DH is back in hospital, but he's coming along and should be home soon.  He was actually a bit grumpy today.....and we know that is always a good sign! (lol)
