April Bling!

Happy April Everyone,

As well as it being April Fools day, it's also the first birthday celebration at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge, yep that's 12 months of challenges, so it seems fitting that the challenge this month is 'Bling it On!'.... what better way to celebrate than with a bit of sparkle on your card in whatever form you like...gems, glitter or beads... if it's shiny, you can use it :0)

I've combined my inspiration card with the colours from the Play Date Cafe colour splash and the 'Name That Tune' challenge at CASual Fridays....."Saturday Night at the Movies" by The Drifters

The sentiment and die are from a MFT dienamics set called 'At the Movies', the font has been blinged up with tiny nail art diamantés that I raided from Hannah's room (it's okay....she gave permission first)..... oh boy were they fiddly to pick up and stick on but well worth the effort :0)  

I made the film out of brown quilling paper rolled tightly then let unwind a little and glued between the reels allowing a length to trail down the card.

It didn't quite look right until I used a white gel pen to imitate the perforations along the edge of the film...they were fiddly to do as well!! 

The prize this month at St Luke's is this bumper collection of goodies, there's a full list on the challenge blog, why not go and check out the challenge, see all the cards from the design team and then get your bling on for St Luke's in April. We'd also love you to send your cards to the address on the sidebar to help raise funds for the hospice, the info is all there on how to do it :0)

Here are the Challenge deets for the Play Date Cafe and Casual Fridays

Look forward to seeing your sparkling cards :0)

Thanks for stopping by
