Match Master @ Charisma

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday again and that means another fab challenge at Charisma Cardz. This week the lovely Alie has chosen the theme and she would like to see a matching card and envelope.

My DT inspiration for you this week is a Baby card and envelope, I have used a fab little image from the Digi Stamp Boutique who are one of our sponsors this week. The image is from a set of two called Baby Zoe and Henry. I really love this image it's just so cute and the other one Henry is gorgeous too. If you haven't visited Digi Stamp Boutique yet why not pop over and see all the fab new images for October.

Martha Stewart Doily punch

CB Swiss Dots embossing folder

Nellie Snellen Mutli frame

Woodware heart punches

Nellies Choice punch frond

Ribbon Wild Orchid Crafts

White Flowers from stash

For the flowers I mixed Perfect Pearls with water, I saw Tim Holtz do this a while ago, and filled a Mini Mister spray, I then sprayed the white flowers a few times and I must say I'm delighted with the effect, and you don't have to put a sealer on either as the Perfect Pearls already contains a sealer. I think I will be doing this to all my flowers now...lol. Much cheaper option to buying all those Glimmer mists. You can see the fab shimmer it creates on the second pic.

Sorry for the poor picture quality but it's been so dull here today I couldn't get a nice light to photograph in.

Don't forget to pop over to Charisma and see the fabulous matching sets the DT have created and of course those fab prizes that you can win.

Thanks for popping into my blog today and I look forward to seeing all your Match Maker creations this week .

Take care

Charisma would like to see Autumn Colours....

Hi there, I have some good news today, I got my plaster off yesterday and the break is healing nicely. The bad news however is that it will still be very painful for the next 4 or 5 weeks. :(
I have exercises to do and have it strapped up so I'm hoping the pain will start to ease off soon. So still limited crafting I'm afraid as I have to give it a chance to settle down.

Now onto this weeks challenge at Charisma.
Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who joined in my Christmas Crafting challenge last week, your entries as always were amazing and I had a really difficult time choosing the top three. So pop over and find out if you were one of the lucky ones this week and who knows you might even be the winner of our fab prize.

This week the lovely Allison has set our challenge and she would like to see
AUTUMN COLOURS
The DT this week were very kindly given some images from Pink Cat Studio who are one of our sponsors this week. I chose this lovely tree to play with and teamed it up with Laura Ashley dp, and Making Memories dp. The ribbon is from Wild Orchid crafts and the Leaf pins and flowers are from my stash.
Thanks so much for popping in and don't forget to visit the challenge blog and see the fab creations this week from the other DT members.

Happy crafting
