Gorgeous...

...Isn't she just,

she's a Gorjuss girl by Sugar Nellie.

The sketch I followed for this creation is by Sketch Saturday Challenge.

I do love to follow a good sketch for my card inspirations.

The colour scheme was set by Sugar Nellie on Facebook.

Once again out came my promarkers to colour this little sweetie.

A mix of denim and azure,

 just love these colours against the chocolate brown.

The ribbon, flowers and pearls are from my stash,

(they are my favourite embellishments).

The doily shape was cut using a Nellie Snellen multiframe die.

The blue cardstock is by Papermania.

The design paper is by First Edition and it's the 'summer breeze' range.

The sentiment is by Papermania,

it is the Portobello road 'urban postage' stamp collection.

I have stamped it onto the reverse side of the design paper.

This divine design paper is a texture sensation by MIC (Meridian Import Company Ltd),

 their craft papers are just heavenly.

I bought mine from my local craft store MB Crafts

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.
