Sugar...ahhh honey honey..yep it's Sugar Bowl day...just in case you hadn't guessed :)
We have another fabulous sketch, this time from Sweetie Kiki, and an optional theme of "Use your favourite Sugar Nellie image"...whether that be a rubber stamp or a digi image.
Is that an easy theme or not? NOT!! Very hard in fact, to try and choose just one image from all my lovely Sugar Nellie rubber babies! Of course I have my favourites, but I have a lot of favourites, so I narrowed it down by choosing the stamps I have inked up the most and I managed to get the list down to 4...and then it was a process of elimination. Luvvie I used for the previous Sugar Bowl challenge, and Elise was inked just a few weeks ago, so they both went back in the box. Pippi is still undoubtedly my favourite stamp ever but I have her ear marked for something in the very near future...so it left just one.....
...the gorgeous Bella Bunting :)
As is usual, she's been coloured with DI's. The papers are Elegant Soiree, a retired set from Stampin'Up which I had been hoarding until I saw THIS gorgeous card from Deb which made me want to dig them out again. A few embellies and the jobs done :)
The prize for one lucky winner chosen at random is their choice of any 4 Sugar Nellie stamps, rising to 6 stamps if we reach 100+ entries.
As always, there is a fabulous gallery of cards from the other Sweeties over on the Sugar Bowl to give you a little inspiration :)
Thanks for looking.
Love
Ooh!! This is Gorgeous Elaine!! Fab sketch too!!

Gorgeous sweetie I so love your coloring and you do color pretty hair even if you like it or not.. Love the colors in the papers too ♥♥ And the cute sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are quite smashing - & she is rather fun. Love those colours together & the way that top scalloped stripe of the striped paper picks up on scalloped edge of her socks/boots/legwarmers is terrific.
