Less is More shrinky dink charm card

I create this long overdue card for my daughter!!! She is probably going into card withdrawals since I usually send her one a week!
I followed the sketch at Less is More and wanted to incorporate my little locket charm I made with skrinky dink plastic, Quickutz die and Tim Holtz stamp:
Sentiment from Technique Tuesday:
Entered this at AllSorts - keep it simple challenge. This was a quick but effective card - I did not want to take away from my meaning to my daughter.

Baby - Christening gown card

Challenge - week 41 at Create4fun Challenge was to create a card using the supplied template.

I used two Cuttlebug folders to emboss and accent the gown. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and it was punch out using a Stampin' Up punch. Perals and ribbon added.

Again - I tried to keep it monochromatic as I think it's striking effect.

Inside is also a layer of Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing. (not shown)

I made this card for three challenges,

2) On Daring Cardmakers Down by the Sea challenge http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/

3) Make a boys card (hmm... if I can find the blog I'll update the link here) I follow quite a few talented blogs - so I will dig for it and edit this post.

The castle was cut and layered 4 times at 2 1/2" from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge

The sand and sky were embossed using the Cuttlebug.

The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday stamp and the punch is from Stampin' Up.
