In The Swing of it...

...well I appear to be getting the hang of this 'blogging' business.
I really adore this little Sugar Nellie stamp she is called Honey Pip.
This card was made for my good friends birthday.
I coloured her in using my beloved Promarkers.


The sketch I followed was set by Erika from the sugar bowl.
I love the calm soothing effect of the colourway used in this card.
I used these colours to fit the sugar nellie Facebook challenge.



The paper I used is from my local craft shop.
For the stamptacular sunday  challenge - texture 
I used the smooth shiny green card which I found in my stash.
 Another texture is the corrugated card in that lovely sage green
I got this from Trotters Independent Traders
(and what a bargain, only £1 for 5 sheets of different colours)
I am a sucker for a bargain or two!.
The sentiment and the glittery ribbon I bought from MB Crafts in Cleethorpes.
The gems and card candy are from my stash.


I am entering this card into the following challenges :


Passion for Promarkers challenge 131 - inspired by a song - in the summertime 
                                   by the phunk junkees

Crafty Cardmakers challenge 59  no floral embelishments

I have also entered this card into the Sugar Nellies colour challenge on Face Book.


Thanx for popping by...


Keep Calm and Craft xx
