Last Hurrah for Sugar Nellie Challenge

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

I had my first physiotherapy session this morning which went very well. No new exercises for my elbow but I have to do the two I've already got a lot more often. He also said I can start using my hand to do little things, so I might have a go at finger painting :D

Sadly the title of my blog post today is not the title of my card, but is due to the fact that the Sugar Nellie blog challenge is ending.

Today would have been the start of a new challenge but the co-ordinator has taken the hard decision to close it down. The closing date of the current challenge is a week later than normal to allow people one last chance to get an entry in (now closes 1/9/2016 just before midnight).

The prizes have been doubled so dig out your beloved Gorjuss/Sugar Nellie stamps and ink them up. You can use any stamp/image from Funky Kits -  the home of Sugar Nellie.

For my no-longer-needed inspiration card I've coloured in 'I gave you my heart' with a mix of Promarkers and Graph'Its, and layered it on papers from the 'Vintage Charm' 12x12 pad from My Minds Eye. I also die-cut some flowers from the papers using Leonie's Floral Bursts mixed media dies. The sentiment is from the Handwritten Phrases set by Lili of the Valley and I've tinted the edges of the papers with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) It’s Hip To Be Square

Foxy for Sugar Nellie

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new followers, I am thrilled to have you here.

It's time for a new challenge at Sugar Nellie, the theme as always is Anything Goes. You could win some fabulous goodies and you just need to make something with a Sugar Nellie image

For my inspiration card I've used the Gorjuss stamp set called The Fox. I love this set - as well as the main adorable image you get two cute little foxes plus some leaves and funky stars.

I stamped the main image onto Joanna Sheen's Elegance Satin card with black Memento ink and coloured her in with Promarkers (Pear Green, Lime Zest, Ice Grey 1-4, Budding Rose) and Graph'its for the skin and hair (sorry, I didn't make a note of them, doh).

I stamped the foxes onto some 'Falling Leaves' paper by Trimcraft/First Edition. After cutting them out I coloured the tails in with a white pen.

My card is layered up with some more papers in the same set, plus a gingham paper from Nitwit (Butterfly Kisses) and a circle of Hunkydory foiled acetate.

Please pop over to the Sugar Nellie blog to see some more inspiration from my fabulous teamies. If you have a Sugar Nellie image why don't you join in the fun this month? :)
