The Sugar Bowl - Challenge 18

Hi There...


I hope you have all had a fab summer...and for those of you with children due to go back to school tomorrow....Peace at Last !!!   I love the sketch for this challenge which can be found here and as part of the challenge we have been asked to use buttons...


I have used one of the gorgeous Manga Girls stamps available here at the brilliant home of Sugar Nellie - Funky Kits.    Here is my card..

I have gone almost monochrome with the card...I have used the Nantucket range of papers from Craft Obsessions and a very royal purple card to co-ordinate with. I have also made some bigger blooms by layering the hydrangea flowers and adding the all important buttons in the centre.

White lace and a strip made using the doily lace punch from Martha Stewart were used to finish of the design..oh and of course some flat back pearls and pearl headed pins. I have left of the message and I am not sure at the moment who will be getting this little lovely in the post.

Here is a close up of her

and a picture to show the depth of the card.

Thanks for looking and I love to read your messages...

Another Sugar Nellie Challenge 1Card...

Well I just couldn't help myself, I thought I would have another bash at the first challenge of the Sugar Nellie Challenge of this year on   http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/ - maybe this means I've got one in hand if I miss a challenge this year)

I have used the same papers as the last card and have used another Leanne Ellis stamp which I have bonded with in the last few weeks.

I made the big flowers by copying the smaller flower in her hair and have put swarovski crystals and seed beeds hanging from the large flower.

Hope you like X

Sugar Nellie Challenge 1 - Sketch by Tiets

This is the first challenge I have ever entered. As it's a new year I thought I would make another resolution to do ALL of the Sugar Nellie challenges throughout the year...I can but try. I have used one of the new Leanne Ellis stamps which I won in the blog candy draw ( Thanks again you sweeties)

The link to the challenge is here... http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/

I have used My Minds Eye Paper from called "The Laundry Line" and although you probably can't see it, all the sheet have really subtle glitter on them. I ahve used Got prints Prima flowers, flat back pearls, and swarovski crystals, a piece of ribbon from a box of choccies ( I'm all into reycling) and last but by no means least a metal engraved tag which says Much Appreciation.
