A new challenge at Diva's by Design.

Good morning Blogger friends.

I hope you are all having a lovely week.
 
Today sees the start of a new challenge at Diva's by Design. The theme for this week is charming. You could interpret this as the image, design or an actual charm. We are being sponsored by one of my favourite craft stores, Live and Love Crafts.
 
I have used an image which I won in a challenge from A Day For Daisies. I love this image - she is so elegant.
A full product list with a link to the online store will be at the bottom of this post.


The template is from Dutch Doobadoo. I love these because they are such an affordable way of creating a card base. If your cutting out is not expert then you can use a Tim Holtz distressing tool to cover up the uneven edges.
I have used Distress Marker to colour her. I have just bought the Distress Marker Turorial from Kit and Clowder and I can't wait to get started.


I have paper pieced the image. The birdcage is from The Range but I cannot find the product online to reference it.


I have made my own sparkly embellishments which are on the butterfly die and in the flower by dropping some glue onto my glass table and covering it in Diamond Sparkles. The image has been paper pieced.



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.

Scrapping 4 fun - Something girlie
A Day for Daisies - Get Glossy (embellies on butterfly and in flowers)
Crafty Creations - Flower Power
The Stamping Boutique - Lace
