Sugar Bowl Challenge ~ 52

It's my favourite day of the fortnight and time for the next Sugar Bowl Challenge. The sketch for this challenge has been provided by the very sweet Maria Therese and the option is 'Love'. This sketch had me scratching my head and pulling my hair out for days! I had the image coloured and the majority of the card made, but there was just one little bit that I could not get right no matter what I tried. I'm sorry Maria, it wasn't your sketch at all, it was me being....well me!
And a wonky photo too, but I am rather good at taking wonky photos!


This gorgeous image is called Elise. She's another of my favourites that I keep on coming back to, from the Home Grown Country Cousins range, available to purchase HERE. She's been coloured with the usual DI's, and I've dotted glamour dust on her dress to look like sequins, possibly? The papers are another favourite that I keep on coming back to, Ella Blue. A few pearls and 2 little pearly heart embellies from Jill at The Hobby House.
It was the wingy thingy's that had me stumped! So I'll apologise now as I'm not really sure that I totally followed the sketch?
The Sugar Bowl always offers the best prizes and for the lucky winners of this sketch for there will be TWO prizes, with TWO lucky people winning their choice of 6 Sugar Nellie stamps! Who can resist a bit of pick'n'mix eh?
All the details can be found on the Sugar Bowl Blog as well as plenty of inspiration from the other sweeties.

Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xxx

    Elaine, your card is absolutely stunning! I love Elise, especially when she's been coloured so beautifully. And the sentiment is lovely (and could suit a few different occasions too). Gorgeous! Susie x

    I have to confess I love this - the heart & the sheen/gloss on it is stunning & I love the glamour dust sequins - exactly what it looks like. The pearl hearts echo the dress so well & they definitely symbolize those wingy bits - you could even say that the brown spotted frilly chiffon thing below & above the belt or singly symbolize the wingy things. The colours are a wonder in those papers & as for the way she is standing exactly on the edge of the white border on the nestie, leaves me speechless.
    Lots of love

    Elaine, your colored dress is simply stunning! I love the added sequins ;) You always have beautiful color coordination. Your photo isn't wonky at all.
    The butterfly wings? Yikes, I knew I forgot something. I drew on scratch paper then placed the acetate on top and started tracing with the quickie glue pen. argh. Off to edit my post lol!
