Cards with charm

Hello!!
 
Today I have some cards to share with you using some gorgeous CHARMS CREATIONS embellishments.
 
First up is this vintage inspired card using a book paper superstar.
 
 
I have added a few little embellishments on top of the star for continuity with the rest of the card.
 
 
Next is a sweet card using a brand new DIY calico mini heart.
 
 
I altered my DIY heart using Dylusions Polished Jade Ink Spray diluted with water and then a little Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine over the top. And because I was too impatient to finish this project and move on to the next, I couldn't wait until it was dry properly before I stuck on my tiny crochet doily. Well you can see the result. The colour bled through. It is kind of a happy accident though as I like the effect it has given. Hey at least it co-ordinates perfectly, right?
 
 
Last but not least, I made this 'super' card for a friend of my kids who had a party on the weekend.
 
 
How perfect is that superstar for a Superman themed card? I spritzed it with a little Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine and added the age and a wood veneer star on top.
 
 
I love the size of these mini Charms Creations. They are just so perfect for using on cards.
 
Oh and have you seen the news??
 
The deadline has been extended for the awesome challenges at Charms Creations. You now have until the end of the month to get your entries in for these...

  2. You make beautiful cards. I love the colors. I have a question - what technique do you use to distress and curl the paper. I love how you stack distressed paper on distressed paper. It really adds to the texture.
