Orphaned Earings


When I was playing around with hexagons for the challenge at Moxie Fab World, I thought it would be neat to cut out the inside of one and use it to showcase some sort of charm. Only I didn't have any charms that small. Then I remembered some orphaned earnings in a bag of old costume jewelry I got at a flea market years ago. Perfect. Right size, good quality.


And I was happy to recycle them.

Wire cutters removed the post, but I left a little bit so I could poke them through the background and attach them to the card.

The colors are inspired by those at The Play Date Cafe this week. Not ones I've used together before, so I'm happy to participate in this challenge.


The layout is from the Less Is More challenge:



Thanks for looking!

Supplies used:
stamps:  PTI hexagons, PTI dress form
