The theme for this one was to use a book page. I have been pondering my creation for a few weeks and this morning I was able to create what my mind had conceived!! Excellent!!
For each charm, I started with two kraft scalloped circles which I cut with Nestibilities. I used a 4" length of small black gros grain ribbon which I folded in half and glued between the two. I used double sided tape to hold the ribbon in place then added white glue, placed the other circle over the ribbon and clamped them down to dry. For the front I cut a black circle and then layered over it a circle (1") cut from a dictionary page. I backed the dictionary page with regular bond and positioned the "B" punchie before I punched the circle. I cut a small piece of paper to cover my special word and sponged all the way around so it would be highlighted. That worked very well. It still needed a bit of something so I added dots in each scallop using a fine tip Sharpie marker. I finished the back with another black circle and an image punchie. Once they were finished I sprayed the fronts to seal them. Each has a jump ring to attach the lobster claws which I am including in my swap envelope. They will be on their way this afternoon!!!
