Guest Designer Card for The Pixie Cottage!

Morning all! Hope you're day is going well so far-it seems plain hectic here but that's 2 year olds for ya! Now today I'm here to show you a card I made for the Pixie Cottage after a couple months ago the fabulous Michelle emailed me out of blue and asked if I'd be a guest designer for a month! I jumped at the chance-their stamps are so adorable and there's a real mix of styles too so I've had great fun playing with them:) If you haven't got any Pixie Cottage stamps yet you can buy them here:)
The challenge today at The Pixie Cottage is to Make Your Own Charm, there is also a sketch which you can follow too or you can use either or. Now firstly I pondered on using shrink plastic but in the end I went with creating a tag into a charm-hopefully that will give a few people some different ideas and will be able to play along. For my card I've used the gorgeous new Spring Hannah with Butterflies-isn't she sweet? Here's a little close-up:~

I've gone with quite muted soft tones using the Basic Grey Wisteria papers all distressed with antique linen. I've also followed the sketch at Create4Fun.

I'm also going to enter this at:
Creative Card Crew (April flowers bring may showers)
Charisma (girly card with flowers)
CCT-Make your own
Sentimental Sundays (someone special)
KL Stampin Scrappin (decorate inside as well as out)
Sir Stampalot Challenge (blossoms and buttterflies)

Well that's it from me today! Come back later for the new brand new Whimsy Digi Release hop! See you soon, and thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave xxx

    Hi Rowena,
    Your card is so pretty and you've done such a great job with the image..... oooooh and those papers are scrummy!
    I wanted to thank you for your lovely comment on my last card, I was so chuffed that you think i have my own style, what a lovely thing to say ;o)
    Your last card is amazing BTW and I love the Creative Expressions stamps. I saw something on Ideal World the other day where they were featuring the Photography and Grunge Heart new sets.... I was wondering where you managed to get your set from please?
    Hugs Tara xx
