I would also like to say many congratulations to my new playmates ! You must go and visit these talented ladies blogs - they are amazing !

"For this weeks challenge we would like to see some charms on your creations, you can have as many as you like, and of course not forgetting to use at least 1 item from BasicGrey somewhere on your creations and for your wonderful efforts, one lucky person will win this fabby prize which has been kindly sponsored by CraftyKrafts."

So, as part of my new found role here's my card as "design team member" (can I say it any more?)

I don't use charms very much on my cards I will tend to create a little embellishment myself! So for this card I have used a butterfly charm that I embellished with a jump ring and clip so it can come off and coloured with my sakura glaze to coordinate with the paper! You may see it better in the close up!

Then for the Main Butterfly I die cut from brown Bazil and double sided adhesive sheet adhered vellum to underside and attached the top to the other. The with a very generous sprinkling of glitter filled in all the gaps It sparkles so much IRL.

I stamped directly on the ribbon and used stardust to enhance the pattern on the BG paper!

Materials:

Paper: BG of course - offbeat collection, Bazil basics, Vellum,
Die's: Quickutz - Butterfly,

Stamps: PTI - Mixed messages

Ink: versafine Black, Sakura pens, stardust,

Other: Butterfly charm, jump ring, clip, adhesive Sheet, black 3D foam, stampendous glitter, ribbon

I can see I may be buying a lot more Basic Grey in future… Tee Hee who am I kidding? Quite sure I would have bought it anyway, as there’s a new Basic Grey range I saw on their website called Bittersweet, delish! I can’t wait to get my hands on some.

Thanks for stopping by, will have more to upload & more great news soon, HuGs Kim x
