CMC GDT card

Hi folks....it's been a couple of weeks since I have posted but as some of you know my time has been taken up with Holly, my daughter, who was assaulted a couple of weeks ago. She is on the mend now and I am just keeping an eye on her.

I was really excited when Tina emailed and asked if I would like to be a Guest Designer for CMC Copic Challenge...I love my copics and I do try to enter their challene when I can. The them is backgrounds, so let's see what you can do....

For my card I have used papers from Fancy Pants, the stamp is from Marianne Design which has been coloured with copics, I did some colouring of the clouds with copics too and added some glitter, the message is from CC Design...which I thought was perfect.

Sugar Bowl Challenge #84

Good morning sugar fans and my scheduled post....I am still trying to get used to my new Monday to Friday shift. Being off at the weekend is good though as my friend and I had a wee unexpected visit to the House of Sugar last Saturday which was really fab. The scenery on the way up and down was simply breath taking and if I can work out how to get the photos from my phone to the PC then I will let you see the snow covered mountains. We met Karen and her daughters and Erika and Kate, they were all so lovely. Karen even gave us the guided tour of the shop and where Mark , our Funky Kit man does his online orders...I would so love to work there. Now if any of you are in the area and feel the need to pop in to the House of Sugar...omg you will be spoilt for choice, Karen has such a variety of products on sale....

Today's challenge over at The Sugar Bowl is "anything goes" so you can use whichever layout and theme you like but you need to use a Sugar Nellie stamp.

As always the prize for one lucky winner picked at random is 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits....




....but if over 100 entries then the prize increases to 6 stamps.

For my card I have used Butterfly Girl from sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics, the papers from MME - On the Sunny Side, the flowers have been cut with different rolled MFT dies, I also cut a little dinky flouish out too and added a couple of pins behind. I added some ribbon and a charm to finish off...

Pop back tomorrow to check out my birthday candy!!

Sugar Bowl Challenge #76

Good morning sugar fans....I hope you are all playing with your new rubber from the last release of stamps...I thought so. In that case you are in luck as there is a new challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. This fortnight's challenge is the sketch below....

...of course as always there is the added option of Paper Piecing. The prize for one lucky winner picked at random is 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits.

I love paper piecing although it does take a bit of time but very therapeutic!! So I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Love Story collection. I pieced everything other than the hair and skin. I edged each of the layers with some doodling....seems to be my new thing at the moment. I added some flowers which I cut using my MFT flower trio die and stuck some pearls in the centres....
