Bird is the Word - Charm

This fortnight's word at Bird is the Word is "CHARM".  All you have to do to enter is use the word in your title or journal somewhere on your creation, which can be a LO, Card or OTP.  There is a fab prize up for grabs and a chance to be a Guest Designer.  Check out the site to see all the gorgeous creations from the talented DT girls for some inspiration and there is also an optional sketch for you to use designed by Mary Thomas.

Here is my take on this fortnight's word.  I love using quotes to convey what I am feeling and this one went perfectly with my photo.

This photo of Luke taken in New Zealand in a forest setting inspired the "Botanical" theme to my LO.  I am totally addicted to Crafter's Workshop stencils and used the tree bark stencil on my background to create some texture and the lovely maple leaves are new chippies from Scrapmatts.  I inked them in Autumn tones and used some of the threads pulled from the hessian to wrap around the leaves to create some dimension.

List of Materials:  7 Gypsies, Basic Grey, Websters, Provocraft pp's, Scrapmatts chipboard, Crafters Workshop stencil, EK Success binder punch, Tim Holtz Salvage stickers, Time Holtz tickets, Glimmermist - chocolate, Hessian, jute twine, Versamagic chalk inks, Jo Sonja texture paste.
