The Sugar Bowl #61 Kiki's Sketch

Hi! It's been a crazy time. I've been to Oregon with my mom-in-law, we celebrated her 99th birthday end of May. I am in Florida until the end of June when we are going to go pick her up (she has a caregivier with her) and bring her back to FL mid-July. Then I should be here. I made this card for my husband for Father's Day. The theme of this week's Sugar Bowl was love/weddings. No weddings coming up. But I wanted to express my love to my hubby as the father of our children. I used this adorable image from Sugar Nellie, colored it with Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol. I cut the image out and popped it out with foam circles. The hearts are also popped out. The paper is from Basic Grey Mellow (wanted a masculine paper). The hearts and flower are also from BG Mellow. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp. The brad is also from BG. Inside the flowers are from Prima flowers, the two rhinestones are Kaiser Craft, and the brads are from my stash. I cut the circles and inside with Nestabilities. The base blue paper is from Stampin' Up. Guess that's it. Thanks for lookin'!

Marlene's Sketch #50

I love the stamps/images from Sugar Nellie. I had noticed that most of my stamps are spring/summer! I need to broaden my collection! This stamp is "Planting Some Love". I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and cut it out with Nesties. The paper is DCWV Nana's boy. The pearls are KaiserCraft. The ribbon is from my stash. The cs is SU. I sponged around the image with chalk. That's it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Challenge 42 Lilian's Sketch

Second card of the night. I just finished this cute card for The Sugar Bowl's Sketch Challenge #42, Lilian's Sketch. Great sketch, Lilian! I turned the sketch so my image would fit. I used Sugar Nellie's Purrfect Playmates. this is the first time I've inked it up. I colored it with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol, cut it out with Nesties label and sponged the edge with chalk. I used Basic Grey's LilyKate paper and the cs is SU. The tiny 1/2 pearls are from The Paper Studio. I placed pearls on the "dots" of the MS border punch, and I also placed one on the center of the yoyo. A pretty simple card. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

The Sugar Bowl #41 Marleni's Sketch

This seems to be one of the most used Sugar Nellie stamps by Elisabeth Bell. I've seen her on many cards. I finally ordered her and this is the first time I've inked her up (new). This card is made using a sketch by Marleni and an optional theme to use something old or something new. I ended up using something of both. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. I cut it out with Nesties circle. I used a Nesties flower to mount the image with. I separated the dp (Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry) with a white Offray ribbon. I used tiny 1/2 pearls from my stash on various points of the "flower". I used Prima flowers and nested red, white and red, with a white 1/2 pearl in the center (from my stash). The red paper is DCWV (I've had it quite awhile... old).

This card was made for Sugar Nellie's challenge found  here to choose your favorite sketch. I chose #15. I just got this adorable image and couldn't wait to use it. Isn't she sweet?

The Sugar Bowl #31 Judy's Sketch and Color Create #40

I really like the way this card turned out! So simple and very pretty. Sometimes I'm just plain proud of myself, and I am with this card :-) I like this sweet image. I was raised on a farm, and we had baby chicks. They are so soft. Did you know at what age baby chicks can fly (be transported by plane)? One day old ONLY. Can't be any older! Anyway, I colored this card with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used Judy's Sketch and Color Create's challenge to use Mint, Chocolate and Cream. It was really fun coloring this card those colors. And this Basic Grey paper! Pretty cool, don't you think? It's from their Bittersweet and Wisteria collections. The cs is from SU. the ribbon is Offray. The stars are cut from BG with my Cricut! I haven't used it in forever, but I found these stars and cut them out. That's about it... oh, cut the image with Nesties circle.

Thanks for lookin'!

The Sugar Bowl #30 Kathy's Sketch and Shabby Chic

I just love artist Rachel Anne Miller. Her images are so sweet! I used this image for today's challenge. It is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, except for her face. It is colored with Copic E00, Skin White. I sponged around the image with chalk. The dp is from K & Co, the cs is a mix of my stash and DCWV (green). I used the edge of my scissors to rough the edges. Some day I'm going to get a tool to do that! The red ribbon is from Offray, the rhinestones are Crystal Stickers from Elements. I enjoyed this sketch. It ws fun to make these paper shabby. Oh, I also stitched around four of the layers! Ok, that's it!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'! 

The SugarBowl A Recipe

Good Wednesday morning, All. (Peeps, as my friend Sue says :)

I made this card for the Sugar Bowl. It's the first time I've entered it. I need to get some more stamps to play more often! This was a sketch challenge and a recipe: to use 3 flowers (check), 2 brads (check), and 1 button (check). I also incorporated a ribbon as part of the sketch. I colored this sweet image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The flowers are Prima and Spare Parts. The brads are also Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon is from my stash. The paper also. I used burgundy for the dark, and pink and yellow. I like this combo. I think it made a pretty card. I cut the image out and popped it out from the card. I used a MS corner punch on the pink (it's part of the sketch). That's it. Thanks for lookin'!
