Charming

Hello and a happy Wednesday.  A big welcome to my latest follower Villi so pleased you joined me here!  First of I must apologise for not being round but things have been so hectic. Rowan was taken into hospital on Monday.  He had a temperature and when they did bloods on him it was showing an infection.  He had also developed a rash on his chest so I guess you know what's coming next.  They did a spinal tap on the poor little thing to rule out meningitis which fortunately came back negative.  He has been receiving IV antibiotics and responding well to them just not feeding too well but I can't say I blame him with all this going on.  The latest bloods show the infection to be clearing so we are hoping he will be discharged today. He has certainly been through a lot in his first 6 weeks, he is 6 weeks old today.

Now to the reason why I am here - today sees a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme this week is Charming so we want to see at least one charm on your creation.  Here is my card:

I used the gorgeous My Fantasy Pet from The Paper Shelter and it is available here.  I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out.  I followed a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers for a Centre Step Card. The papers are Wild Rose Studio called In Love With Japan.  The ivy is a Marianne die and the butterflies are Impression Obsession.  I got the dragon charms from E Bay, ribbon and acylic flowers from my stash.  Here is another view:

As usual there is a very generous prize on offer to one lucky winner:

Please head over to The Paper Shelter to see what the rest of the DT have done and for some more inspiration.
