Dotties World Sunday Challenge - 'Buttons or Beads'!

Adele set the challenge this week...
"I have tons of them but rarely use them ! Dig deep into your crafty stash and embellish away. It doesn't matter how you use them, as long as they are visible on your creation. If you haven't got any (!!!!) improvise! Only other "rule" is that a Charmed Download must be used"
Well I got up really early this morning to take the dog for his walk and then sat down to make my card. I had fun choosing different buttons to use.





Recipe:
Downloads: Darts George and Sentiment Circle, both from Charmed Cards and Crafts
Paper: Dovecraft Masculine
Tools: Nestabilities
Buttons from stash

Dotties World Sunday Challenge - 'Charmed'

Juliet set the challenge this week... "Charmed - this week's challenge is to add a charm to your project. It can be anything as long as it dangles (oops sorry, does that sound too rude?) and, of course, include one of the Charmed downloads too!"

So here is my effort





As you can see, I have made a waterfall card. I chose the lovely Holly & Madison downloads . I raided my daughter's pen box and coloured them in with felt pens. I used card from my stash which I purchase from our local papermill shop. I used a prima flower from my stash. Unfortunately I did not have any charms, but luckily found an old pair of my daughter's trousers and found the heart dangling on the waistband, so I pinched it for the card! Well I do like to recycle!
