All white card

I made this card for the Wags n Whiskers Challenge #46 - White.

I used plain white card, two strips were punched both sides using a Martha Stewart punch and I cut a fancy square using a Nestibilities pendant die.

Another of my favorite Sugar Nellie images, coloured with Copics and Prismas.

Finishing touches were white ribbon, white pearls from The Hobby House and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

I am also entering this card into Stamp, scrap and Doodles challenge - Who want to see the use of punches.

Love....Sugar Nellie

This is my card for The Sugar Bowl challenge #52. This week its a sketch by Marie Therese with the optional theme - Love.

I chose papers from K and Co in lemon and green so that I can also enter it into the Colour Create Challenge #63 who want to see cards made using, you've guessed it, lemon, green and white.

I chose this beautiful image from Sugar Nellie's Adorable range, as I am totally in love with them, I can't stop colouring them, they are just so gorgeous. I used Copics and had a play with my new Prisma pencils.

Therefore I will enter it into Totally Gorjuss challenge # 65 - As you like it.

I finished off by embellishing with punched out swirls and a couple of different style flowers. This means I can enter it into the Crafty catz weekly challenge - flowers.

In the words of Britney Spears 'Oops I did it again'

Will I ever learn? After spending an hour colouring in 'Grace standing' another digi image from Sugar Nellie, I cut her out with a Nestibilities die, after using sticky tape yesterday to hold the image and ripping it, I just carefully placed this one on my cuttlebug, no tape, and ended up cutting off the top of her head and ribbons. So then I had to run it back through using a smaller die to cut off her shoes and even it up. I must remember to cut out my images before I start colouring them.

I followed the sketch for the  Sketch Saturday challenge #138.

I am also entering this card into the Allsorts challenge #86 to use the colours Teal Blue and Brown 

and The Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #117 -With Love

I coloured my image using Copic markers, I didnt have a teal blue, but this is as close as I could get.

The flowers are Primas with card candy centres and the ribbon is from stash.

The sentiment is LOTV circular sentiments.

Playing with Copics

My Copic markers arrived yesterday and I couldnt wait to play. I had also downloaded some of the adorable Sugar Nellie digi's stamps from Funky Kits, so decided to try them out too.

After spending an hour colouring the very beautiful Verity, I made the mistake of putting a little bit of tape on the edge of the nestie to hold the image in place whilst I cut it out, and when I removed it I tore the bottom of the card. Can you spot the strategically placed orange swirl ?

The paper is K and Co, I chose these colours because its so dull outside lately and they brightened up my day.
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the flowers from stash.
I would like to enter this card into The Sugar Bowl challenge #51- this week its Kiki's sketch and the theme is Birthdays.
Also Stamp Something challenge as this week its Anything goes.

Two more cards for two more challenges

The 1st card is for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge~ A Sketch and Flower Power. I used K & Co papers, cut the circles with cuttlebug, coloured the image which is Sugar Nellie - Flowers with Marvys and Distress Inks and flowers, ribbon and sentiment from stash.






This 2nd card is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge~ Marshmallows and Chocolate (brown and pink) colours. Again I've used some different K & Co papers, and coloured my image with Marvys Brushables. As you can tell this image of Willow kneeling from Whiff of Joy Spring Set is my favourite at the moment and I especially like combining it with the Fall Grass also W.O.J stamp. The swirly bits are trimmed from a large Sizzix die - Flourish. Ribbon and Flora Doodles flowers to finish off.

Sketch Saturday #39

Warning!! Sunglasses needed to view this card. LOL. Here's my card for this weeks Saturday Sketch. I got this paper free from a magazine and it really made me feel cheery, so had to use it. I chose this image Summer Ice Cream - Sugar Nellie in keeping with the bright summery paper, I lightly water coloured it with Marvy pens. The Ribbon is American Crafts -Elements. Flowers and brads from stash.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 4 - One!

Over at the Sugar Bowl the challenge this week is to use only one patterned paper. The one I chose is 'I think' K & Co, it was an odd sheet I found so not sure. This image from the Sweet Art Ebony collection - Postbox, has been coloured using Marvy Le Plume pens and a little gelly roll pen to add a touch of glitter. As with most cards I make at the moment, I used my doily punch from the Martha Stewart range to make a border across the bottom, (can't you tell its my new toy of the moment). A stamped sentiment held on with brads and layered flora doodles to finish off.
