I'm not quite sure where the last two weeks have disappeared to. They seem to have vanished in the blink of an eye, but the good news is that the next Sugar Bowl challenge came around quickly too. The sketch for this challenge has been provided by the multi-talented loveliness that is Marlene and it's a fabulous sketch! Love it hunny, you're a genius! The option, should you wish to join in with it, is a colour combo - see photo further down.
I came back to this image again, Fashionista, available to buy HERE. I adore this little lady, she's just so pretty, although she may not like me very much seeing as I chopped half her legs off! But I really wanted to colour her again and she wouldn't have fitted in the sketch if I'd used all of her. Coloured with DI's as always.
The DP is Tilda Frosted Bluegreen.....Oh my, I love this pad of papers too, very delish. Sentiment from LOTV, a few of the obligatory pearls and a scalloped card blank from craftwork cards. Very simple but I like how this one turned out.
I flipped the sketch to accommodate my image.
Marlene's chosen photograph for the colour option, off-white, blue, brown and a little green.
The prizes for this weeks lucky winners, again there will be TWO lucky winners, each winning their choice of 6 Sugar Nellie stamps.
All the details can be found on the Sugar Bowl Blog along with plenty of inspiration from all the other Sweeties.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xxx

You are now a canklephobic person, that is the true reason you chopped the legs right? She is very pretty, I would even color her up myself. I like how you used the kraft cardstock, I struggle with that stuff myself. Chat with you later.
