St Luke's Charity Challenge

I can hardly believe this challenge has been going for a year but it is an anniversary over on St Lukes blog so do pop over and see what they are all about. This month they are asking for cards with BLING by way of celebration so I've stamped a quirky tree using a Polkadoodles free stamp which came with a magazine a while ago and coloured with Promarkers.  Some friends and I were looking at (and buying) border punches at the weekend and we were joking about keeping all the little 'waste' pieces to use on cards and this is exactly what I've done here - saved the little punched out flowers and added them to the tree with bling gems in the centres. Backing papers are by Papermania and of course the border was made using the Tonic punch. The circles were cut with Nestabilities and layered onto a Marianne die cut; sentiment printed on the computer.
