Sugar Bowl Challenge Number 1!

Happy Saturday!!!!

I made this card yesterday evening for the Sugar Bowl Blog challenge.

I was sticking to the orignal sketch so well and then I opened up the card and realised I had it the wrong way round!!! Anyway, read the blog and it says you can rotate the sketch!!!! Phew!!!

The image is of course Sugar Nellie Skater Boy, I always need boys cards so opted to go masculine!!! The papers are Spiced Cider from Stampin Up, double sided and great for male cards!!! The colour combo is Really Rust, Old Olive and Close to Cocoa.

I have coloured the image with my Stampin Up Inkpads and doodled round the edges with co-ordinating markers. Edges of paper have been inked with Close to Cocoa in and the stars have been cut out on my Cricut (I havent treat myself to the Stampin Up Star punch yet, must do that!!!) I have used a Really Rust button with some linen thread. Sentiment is from the Stampin Up Starring You set.

If you would like to order any products dont hesitate to contact me at julie.kettlewell@ntlworld.com

Hoping to do Sketch Saturday later on!!

Picking Apples

Feeling a bit perkier today!!! Don't think I will have another lager until next New Year!!!!

Here is a card I made with a lovely stamp that was kindly given to me by my mate and team member Steph!!! Thanks Mrs, you are such a generous and lovely girl!!!!

I have coloured the image using the Stampin Up inkpads and an aquabrush and have used the same colours as the cardstock and the papers to get a co-ordinated look. Thats the joy of SU, all the hard work is done for you with colour matching!!!

The pink papers are from Sweet Always and the green papers are from Haiku. Colour combo is Regal Rose and Old Olive.

Sentiment is from the Hostess set Best Yet and I have punched it out with our Scallop Square punch and inked the edges in Regal Rose. I have used the Round Tab punch and added a Creamy Caramel Button with linen thread tied through.

Hope you like, more cards this week!!!!
