The Sugar Bowl - Challenge 15 - Gayles sketch


I love the Sugar Bowl challenges because it gives me the perfect reason (not that I need one) to use Sugar Nellie stamps or images this week along with the fab sketch theres the added extra of Ribbons and Bows...this little beauty someone sent to me ages ago and I'm ashamed to say she was in amongst quite a lot of stash...she is just so gorgeous, I coloured her with my Copics, Whispers and Distress Inks, and this fabulous paper is by Basicgrey and is from the Lemonade range called Strawberry patch, I think it works really well as a Christmas paper though...I added some card layers from my scraps and used this stunning organza ribbon edged in gold with a huge bow of the same ribbon and two pins threaded with beads to add some detail...all I needed to finish was some glitterboard punched snowflakes...I hope you like it xxx

Oh this is such a charming card. The image is so cute and you have delicate colours on her which I personally love. I realy like the backing paper as it is simple and uncluttered. Therefor it is not distacting from the image. The snow flakes are just touching upon Christmas which is nice.. Take care mina it's great as usual kitty c
