Sugar Bowl Cutie

The challenge this week on Sugar Bowl Challenges is a sketch. I followed the sketch and this is the card I created. You also had to use Kraft paper which I love. This is a really great sketch. I used an older Sarah Kay stamp and colored her with markers.

I mixed the Prima Hydrangea with the roses to create the corner flower and I must say, I do love those little roses. I almost hate to use them....I am trying to resist hording them but it is difficult.

On the inside I used my new spellbinder classic lace border. It is 12 inches long and I only have the regular white boards for my wizard but since I only wanted a short piece it worked. It is a really gorgeous die.

The paper I used was Basic Grey and Creative Memories. Both are lovely to work with. The Kraft is from SU and the Pink is from the Paper Company. Quite a collection eh! Well my youngest Golden Retriever is making all the moves of delivery. It will be happening sometime between today and Sunday. I hate waiting...she has been pacing and nesting and making all the moves. I really don't know how to help her but hopefully it will happen soon. I'll post the babes as soon as I can.

Black Red Beauty & Candy Reminder

The challenge on Magnolia vs Stampavie is a color challenge....Red, Black White and Grey. At first I really was unhappy doing this challenge but in the end I really like this card. The DP are from My Mind's Eye. The dots were actually all white so I took my fine tip marker and added a black circle inside each white circle. I really like how this added that punch to the design. I also used Spellbinder's Doodle die in both red and black to embellish the card. The red flower is a Prima flower and the black flower was made using a Marvy punch with a black brad holding it all together.

I used my Black Soot Distress ink and the Fired Brick Distress inks to color the clothing. I used my water painter pen to add the distress inks. This is my first time coloring with distress inks so any hints on how to color with them would be appreciated. I made the bow using sheer simmer ribbon.

The inside shows the other DP much better. The sentiment would have to be added with white ink. I wanted to remind all readers that I will be drawing for the blog candy on April 1st so make sure you have left a comment Here . Have a wonderful day. Our day is full of snow again! Can you imagine....school was cancelled again today and we are in the middle of a huge Winter storm.
