Today is my Sugar Mama Gayle's birthday....*Happy Birthday Sweetie, hope this day is a special one*
I wonder who will spot my stupid mistake??
I coloured up this gorgeous Sassy image Boho Chic a couple of weeks ago, the minute I got my inky hands on her. But I must have had a little interruption in brain activity because on my image she is wearing a scoop neck top, and on everyone else's that I've seen since she has on a polo neck! A little brain blip on my part.
As usual she's been coloured with DI's and Nick bantock inks, the box around the image is a Waltzing Mouse stamp set, the DP is Stampin'Up Elegant Soiree, the teeny weeny tag is made from PTI's Tiny tag stamps and dies.
The fabulous prize for one lucky winner is a set of 6 pick 'n' mix Sugar Nellie stamps. What would you choose? To maybe buy some older images and fill in some gaps in your collection, or the new Sassys perhaps?
For all the details please pop on over to the Sugar Bowl blog where you will also find lots of inspiration from all the other Sweeties including.....our own lovely Pat who has returned to the Sugar Bowl *Welcome back Pat, I kept the home fires burnin' for ya!*
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xxx
fabulous card and fabulous colouring as always!! I have this one coloured and ready to go but not as good as yours Elaine and I didn't realise she has a glove on as I have made her hand skin coloured....suppose it doesn't really matter.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

I didnt realise it was a polo, and wasnt sure if that was a glove or not, I think everyone sees them different, thats whats good about it, Im waffling super gorgeous card, the colours are just perfect.

Gorgeous card sweetie and I can see no mistakes so you must have covered it up very well! Love your card sweetie and so love the Polaroid feel around the image!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paper too!!
Hi Elaine
ReplyDeletelove it, colours are um um (new word for great), I didn't realise that stampin up did such delish colours (may just have to get some of those). I love the sweet image, & I think she looks just great with her scoop neckline (too hot for polo necks anyway).

Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card,love this image and those fab papers.Love the skech this week def gonna have a play :) xx
gorgeous card Elaine! i cant see any mistake? looks ok to me
ReplyDeletewow gorgeous colours Elaine .. and i love the simpler layout.. Beautiful papers
ReplyDeleteLisa x
If the polo neck is the mistake - I disagree, for I like her scoop neckline. I like the effectiveness of placing the shell patterned paper the opposite way to the scalloped border & your trademark pearl embellishing. You've definitely got a knack with legs & feet (Swedish joke à la PEP).
ReplyDeleteMuch love from me.

PS - I like the way the flower diagonally opposes the bow tie of her belt for the loops compliment each other nicely like that. Now I've rambled....
I just lurves this card my dear! She is a fab and funky Sassy girl! Love the frame around her..off to go hunt it down in Waltzing Mouse :)) your colouring as always is truly stunning!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,
Judy xx
P.S. she looks great with her scoop neck :)
Wow! Elaine this is absolutely gorgeous. Love the new Sassy girl. Terrific colour combo and sketch. Awesome colouring as always.

Well, I think she's gorgeous -- whatever she's wearing! Beautiful colouring as usual -- you never disappoint. Glad to see you posting, I hope that means that things have quietened down a bit at work and you're slightly less exhausted! Take care, P.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Elaine, and fab colours. Love that WM set ... might moozie on over and have a peek!! I think she is wearing a scoop top too ... or I have had the same mind blip as you ... must be the Northern air!!

Elaine...this is stunning!! (And I even like that you cut off her legs!! hehe!) I love these papers...this reminds me that I have some of them in one of my stashes! I absolutely LOVE your coloring...it's so rich! And...I had to laugh when you mentioned your "mistake"! Let me tell ya, girlfriend, that mistake was pure inspiration! I love the neckline! Thanks for the warm welcome back...and for keeping those fires burning! Hugs. Pat

Hi Elaine if you dont know the images peeps wouldnt have known bout the neckline..stop it woman..dont think your THE only crafter to make mistakes we ALL do it even them on C&C with their upside down cards live on TV..love it great clean layout & awesome colouring ..

Ha, ha - I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything - at least her top is skin toned anyway!! Gorgeous card, Elaine - as I said on facebook, I love how you've used the image and 'cut her legs off' IYKKWIM LOL!! Hugs, Marie xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, mistake or no mistake...I think its gorgeous. Great image, and fabulous colouring Elaine.
ReplyDeleteDebbie x
Well I like the scoop neckline and I'm just about to colour mine so I may just do her your way. You so have a knack of doing a simple style yet it is sooooo stunningly gorgeous, how do you do it? So clean and fresh, yet beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTalking of mistakes, I did one on 5th Avenue, although I did see another done the same way today, lol. I coloured her knee on the right as part of the dress, I thought it was flapping over as I put my legs like hers and thought the knee just wouldn't protrude out like that, maybe mine's too fat, so it had to be the dress. Then when I saw the hop badge I see that it was coloured as a skin coloured knee, Lol. You see were all as bad as one another!
Hugs Tracy x
Hi sweetie this is gorgeous & if I'm being honest I think it looks like sort of a scoop neck with a v in it cus if you look closely part of the v looks turned over. This is my opinion anyway & I will prob colour her the same way you have....when I get round to inking her that is lol.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours on this & your colouring is amazing as always hunni.
Hope you are ok hun, sorry I'm late getting here its taking ages to catch up with everyone with me being ill for a week.....I have numb fingers lol.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

xx coops xx
Elaine, that is why this is an art form. We (the crafter) can create from our view point. I love her with a scoop necked top and I think I would have seen it that way also! (Great there are two crazy's running around!)LOL! I love the soft blue and you have colored her to perfection.
ReplyDeleteSee, nobody knows how to color these things! Just kidding, you did a wonderful job and I never would have noticed anything til you pointed it out and honestly I still think it looks lovely. Outstanding coloring as always, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found time to craft Elaine! I absolutely love this card and how you colored her--I actually can't picture her the way you say she should be and love the look you gave her! Love the DPs you used--your card is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastico card i love all about it!
