No Recipe for Disaster

This is my second post of the day, two more to come!

The new PCD challenge is starting today, Tracey has developed a recipe that I'm sure you'll find tasty! You need to following ingredients: "2 printed papers, 1 ribbon, 1 charm". Lots of different ways you can use this recipe, so I'm expecting quite a variety in projects. I had to do a bit of a "use what you have and make do", as I don't actually own any charms (apart from a couple of Christmas charms which didn't work with this card). So instead I used a brad, well, they're both metal right? I had my eye on some of the Whiff of Joy charms for a while, they seem really lovely and lots of variety in a pack, but if you guys have any other suggestions as to where I could get some nice charms that would be great! Anyway, here's my card:



Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digitals Birdcage on a branch with matching sentiment
* First Edition Up Up & Away DPs
* Metallic thread from local store (Pipoos) for real stitching
* White gel pen for the faux stitching
* Vintage Photo & Tumbled Glass Distress Inks
* Personal Impressions Sentiment Stamp
* Papermania Green Petals Flower
* Pearls, ribbon & brad from stash

Challenges:
* Sparkles Forum (Birds)
* Shelly's Images (Show Us What You've Got/Anything Goes)
* Clearly I Stamp (Anything Goes)
* My Grafico (Anything Goes)
* Digital Tuesday (Spring Colours)
* Cards & Scrap (Patchwork)
* Pinspirational Challenge (Inspirational Photo) I've used the Blue & Green theme and used 3 pearls (number of elephants)
* Incy Wincy (Use Pastels)
* Chocolate,Coffee & Cards (Bring on Spring)
* Fussy & Fancy (Spring Days)
