A new Sugar Bowl Challenge..

Hi Ladies....

A very quick post from me today to let you know there's a brand new challenge over at The Sugar Bowl..  The theme as always is Anything Goes (as long as you use a Sugar Nellie image).

If you think this is familiar, it is very similar to a card I made a little while back... but it was spotted by someone who wanted similar for their bedroom wall.  Sooooo I made this...  the frame is from Ikea... and it'll do nicely for her Christmas gift!

I so love this image.... it's The Story Teller from Funky Kits - she has been one of my all time favourite fairies and I've used her over and over.  I'm surprised I was able to get a good photograph of this, as there is glass in the frame..  so clever me.. no reflection!! 

The challenge runs for a month so you'll have plenty of time to enter after the holiday period..  Hope you'll join in the Sugar Bowl fun!!

I'll have one more card tomorrow (it's scheduled so I am a BIT organised).... then the man in the red suit will be here!!  Hope you're all nearly ready and that you've been GOOD!!

Big hugs

A little tale...

Hi Ladies

Today's card is my card for Sugar Nellie..  and I warn you, it is picture heavy!  I tried to take photos from all angles, to give you more of an idea of the effect... but still the 3D doesn't show up as well as it does IRL.   But hopefully it'll show you some of the depth.

I used The Story Teller for this card... it's available in digi at the moment..  and so it's perfect for colouring with Copics/Promarkers... in fact any alcohol marker.  I printed the image out twice, then fussy cut the toadstools and the fairy wings on the second.  Oooh ouch.... I do hate cutting through fairy wings - I always feel so mean!  

Only one tiny die was involved in this card... mainly my trusty guillotine..  and my favourite Martha Stewart fine scissors - then some 3D glue pads.

The weather was fabulous yesterday...  We took a trip to Harrogate in the morning then spent the afternoon hedge and lawn cutting....  today I need a rest - but I hope the sun stays with us!
