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 :
