The sketch for challenge 54 has been provided by the most Sweetest gal ever, the lovely Lilian, and it's a fabby sketch as always, and you can place your image wherever you like. The option should you wish to use it, is a nice and easy one - Clean and Simple.
This card did NOT turn out how I'd planned. I saw the three central boxes and decided to stamp out 3 different images and use one in each of the boxes. But then I was poorly and although the images where all stamped I had only coloured one of them. So with the deadline looming, I either used the single image or didn't get my card made in time. Sorry Lilian, I didn't do justice to your lovely sketch!
Poor little love, she looks lost on this card! And again I chopped bits of her off. Last time Miss Fashionista was cropped at the legs, this time she's been chopped off at the waist...next time there'll be nothing left but the bow on her head! I promise faithfully that the next Sugar Bowl card will be a full, non-mutilated image but I needed to use this little lady. This beauty is called Spread Your Wings and available to buy HERE.
She's been coloured with DI's, not much colouring I know but it still took me a couple of hours! The DP is SU's Elegant Soiree. I got to use my new MS Cherish punch too. Punched flowers and a few pearls complete the card.
The fabulous prizes for the lucky winners...yes that's TWO prizes again, are their choice of 6 of the new Sugar Nellie stamps for each winner from the Simply Sassy, Mary Hall or Country Cousins ranges. How's that for a wowzer of a prize eh?
All the details can be found over on the Sugar Bowl blog along with plenty of ideas and inspiration from the other sweeties.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.

Pretty card...gorgeous colour combo x
ReplyDeleteJenny x
oh this is stunning Elaine i love it xx
ReplyDeleteWell - I actually think this is the better option, I love the way the two flowers frame her & she is the focal point of the card. That border is a stunner & I love your pearls along it. She works beautifully chopped & I can see why your colouring takes a couple of hours - that softness needs working with & patience & I know from dabbling in the Distress Inks that they take patience & diligence to work with, especially with the beautiful results you achieve with them. Hope you're very very much improved.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Your colouring is amazing Elaine and love the Dps too, this is a beautiful card Hugs

Oh Elaine...I smiled when you apologized for using just a single cropped Simply Sassy Sweetie...because I was just thinking how much I love that look and really must try it myself! It's stunning, hunny bunny!! I love the colors and DPs...and the flowers on either side of this sweet little darlin' are just as perfect as they can be! I love it!! Hugs. Pat Frank
ReplyDeleteElaine, this is absolutely fabulous. I'm in love. Got to be up there with one of your best.
