I'm back today with a card for the new Sugar Bowl challenge.
When making a card, the first thing I do is to choose the stamp I want to play with, and then I pick the papers, in the hope that my colouring will compliment them.
The image is the ever-so-delicious Delia.
As always, she's been coloured with DI re-inkers and markers.
The pretty papers are Pion ' Fairytale of Spring' - Lily of the Valley.
The sentiment is from a set by Whimsy.
The flower is cut from Stampin' Up canvas using the MFT Die-namics layered rose die.
The challenge is 'Anything Goes' and the only rule is that you must use a Sugar Nellie image, either a rubber stamp or digi image.
The prize for one randomly chosen entrant is their choice of any 4 Sugar Nellie stamps.

I have been asked to list the shades I use to colour the image...I'm so sorry that I keep forgetting to do this!
Flesh Shades: Tattered Rose and Tea Dye.
Hair: Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs.
Greens: Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss.
Browns: Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.
Yellows: Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed and Rusty Hinge.

Thanks for looking.

The colouring is lovely in this (green & brown addict that I am) especially with the white contrast & I just love that flower with its inked petal edges. Your positioning of the patterned paper with the birds in that position is exceptional. A lovely soothing creation midst today's hurly burly of life.
