Hello Friends!!
Happy Sunday!!
Today is my turn to post over at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I thought I would create something a little bit different this time.
I joined a "Paper Charm Swap" a couple weeks back and recently have been creating some paper charms. I think I am getting hooked...lol.
Today I would like to share a paper charm necklace that I made for myself.
You will see I used some fabulous Baker's Twine in Raspberry, Cotton Candy, Aqua, and Teal as well as the seam binding in
Rose petal and Aqua (they were inked with Ranger's Vintage Photo). Below you can see the Pink Diagonal ribbon that I inked as well from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I used some beads from my stash ( I was so proud of myself not going out and buying new beads...lol). All the images for my paper charms are from the Gecko Galz Papillion, Butterfly Wings, and Mother's Day tag ephemera sets.
I cut out all my charms, inked them with Ranger's Vintage photo distress ink, applied Designer Glue dries Clear and then Art Glitter #162 Just Peachy Transparent glitter to the edges of the circle and rectangle charms, and wings of the butterflies.
I applied Ranger's Perfect medium and then applied UTEE. To give all my charms a glossy look. Makes them a tad bit harder to photo, but they sure look pretty in real life.
Above is a photo of the two round charms before I added the extra Ribbons and trims. Below is the Rectangular charm.
I had such a fun time creating this necklace. I hope if you have not tried some paper charms, that you will have been inspired to do so. You can really dress them up by adding the ribbon and trims!!
I will be playing along with
