The sugar bowl challenge #33

Hello again, I have another card to share with you.  I’ve been trying to be a little more productive the last week and actually enter the cards I make for challenges before the deadline passes lol!  I made this card for the sugar bowl challenge which is a gorgeous sketch:

As well as the sketch they asked for something floral to be included in your card.  Now my card doesn’t have obvious flowers but the paper does have some flowers on it, so I hope that will be ok. 

Here is my effort, which I made for my boys to give to their grandmother for her birthday:

I don’t know what’s going on with my photography skills at the moment but every photo I take is useless – think I’ll have to consider taking a photography course in the near future. 

I really like this image, and I’ll have to make the effort to use it more, as it’s very sweet (no pun intended). 

I hope you are all having a good day, will be back tomorrow with another badly photographed card to share with you lol!  Thanks for stopping by.

Card ingredients:

Image – sugar nellie ‘cute as cupcakes’

Papers – BG ‘nook & pantry’ paper pad, plain card is SU chocolate chip

Tools – promarkers, adhesive pearls from Joanna Sheen, sentiment created on the pc

The sugar bowl challenge #24

My card today is for the the sugar bowl challenge, which this week has a gorgeous sketch by Marlene to follow (& the must include option is zig-zag). I’ve used a sugar nellie image from the home grown autumn kit (which I’m only now getting around to inking up!!) and I coloured the image with my promarkers. I used kraft card from elzybells and the full sheet of paper is SU. The smaller patterned pieces are from my scrap box and the plain indigo paper is pink petticoat, which I ran through the CB with the swiss dots embossing folder. I used my MS zig-zag embossed border punch for the strip across the middle of the card and the adhesive stones are PM. I haven’t added a sentiment yet as I don’t know it will be for. I really liked the layout and didn’t add any extra embellishments as I didn’t want to spoil it. Thanks for stopping by today.

Edited to add - thank you to Marianne for pointing out that I couldn't combine my sugar bowl card with other challenges if I wanted to be included in the draw for the prizes - thanks hun - maybe I should pay more attention to the rules in future lol :)

The Sugar Bowl #8

This is my entry for this week's Sugar Bowl challenge, which is a sketch by Tiet. I stamped the sugar nellie image 'a little birdie told me' and coloured her with my pro-markers (but sadly for the little birdie I didn't ink him up lol!). The dp is BG from the sugared paper pad and the cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc and the pink candy dots are by pebbles inc. The olive coloured flower was punched out with my woodware paper punch (twice) onto white card and coloured with a pro-marker (not a bad colour match) and the pink flower is from my stash. This sketch was quite tricky to use but I love the finished result. Thanks for stopping by.

Sugar Bowl challenge #4

This is my card for this week's sugar bowl challenge which is 'one piece of patterned paper (which can be double sided)'. I stamped the sugar nellie Leanne Ellis image (can you tell I love 'em) and coloured her with my pro-markers. The double sided dp is by chatterbox inc and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The flower was cut with my woodware punch and a circle punch was used to cut the dp in the centre. I added stickles to the flower for added bling. I also punched out 5 small circles and added them to the bottom of my card for extra interest. The adhesive stones are PM. I really like this card, hope you do to! Thanks for looking.

Sugar Bowl challenge #3

This is my card for the sugar bowl challenge, which this week is 'love'. I stamped the sugar nellie luvvie image and coloured her with my pro-markers, adding stickles to the flower in her hair. I used black cs from the papermill shop, dark red bazzill cs and dp by doodlebug that I ran through the CB with the swiss dots embossing folder. The flowers, ribbon and spacer are from my stash and the sentiment is WOJ. I am really pleased with how this card turned out (after changing everything around about 10 times LOL). I've added a few extra pics of the detail in this card. Thanks for looking.
