Delicious Doodles Challenge #42 Add A Charm

Hiya all!

Well as you can see it’s that time of the week for another great challenge over at DeliciousDoodles, 

This  weeks theme is Add A Charm, so for this challenge I have decided to use the lovely image


So why not give it a go and be in the chance of winning five of the delicious doodles images of your choice, you can enter twice if you use one of the delicious doodles digi’s and once if you do not. Also don’t forget if you do use one of the Delicious Doodles digi’s you will be spotlighted

So here is my inspiration piece for you all to get some lovely ideas from



For this piece I decided to do something a little different, that I have not done for a while a bookatrix card with matching stand.

I first started out by picking my image and printing it out, I then started to colour my image in using my promarkers, the colours I have used are:
Baby Pink, Dusky Rose, Oatmeal, Blush, Cocoa and Burnt Umber

Once it was all coloured in I then cut out my image and put it to one side for later, Now I needed to make the bookatrix, I did this by using a Glitter Girls bookatrix embossing board.
I picked my two pieces of card, and used them on the embossing board to emboss the outline of the bookatrix pages, once I had done this I then cut them out, now they are both cut out I decorated the edges with some peel off border stickers after I rolled the pieces back on themselves so it gave them a curved book look, and folded on the score lines to make the centre of the bookatrix, I did this with both pieces of card I then glued them one on top of the other.

Now all this was done I added my image to the right hand side by gluing it in position, Now I could concentrate on the left hand side of the bookatrix, so I used some sizzix die cuts one for the baby rattle and one for the baby bottle, once I had done these using my Big Shot, I placed them to one side and again used some peel off stickers one which reads New Baby and the others which read Congratulations and another that says A Baby Girl, I stuck these into position now they were in position I then glued the rattle and the bottle into position. (The rattle top I have left blank for a reason, so that the baby’s weight or d.o.b can be added along with the time baby was born)

I added some diamantes onto the die cut rattle and some ribbon to the centre of the bookatrix, and with the same ribbon I made a bow which I fixed a small chain to and added some lovely baby charms, the charms I added to this piece are a baby bottle, birth certificate, dummy, and a pram. The bow with charms I fixed to the ribbon in the centre of the bookatrix.






Lastly I made a stand to match the bookatrix, so I used the same pink spotted card which is on the bookatrix for the stand, I did this by using my stand template to draw around twice cut both out and then glued them both together I then folded them in half to make the stand.
So there we have a beautiful pink bookatrix keepsake card all finished with an added extra of baby charms,

 I hope this piece gives you lots of inspiration and you have alot of fun with your challenge entry I look forward to seeing them all
