Sugar Nellie Sweet Ebony Stamps

Yesterday I received my order of Sweet Ebony stamps from Funky Kits, and it was just too hard to resist stamping a couple of them and making a card.

This stamp is called "Picking Apples" and I love it....well they are all too cute for words, but this is the first one I used. For the card I have also used the "So Sweet" Stamp that came as an extra when you ordered the whole set of 6 stamps. The papers are Basic Grey "Sugared", the ribbon is Choc Chip Taffeta by Stampin' Up. I used the Stampin' Up spiral punch to make the ripped notepaper, and the scalloped circle on the sentiment. The flowers are by Prima and the buttons are from my stash.

The images was stamped in Dark Brown Stazon and has been coloured with my Prismacolor pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps...and of course there is the addition of a small amount of sparkle by using a Sakura clear glitter gel pen on her hair and in the centre of some of the flowers.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 3 "People"

This card was totally inspired by one from Monica I loved the card so much that I went and bought the stamp. I already had the papers and have been using them all month, I think they are my favourite PaperMania papers ever. So in addition to the papers and Bella stamps, I used a Stampin' Up sentiment circle stamp, and some HobbyCraft ribbon. I even used Monica's technique of going around the image in a pale blue colour...it really does make the image pop.

Marlene's "Green" Candy Challenge

The uber talented Marlene, you can see her blog with wonderful creations on HERE is having a Blog Candy contest/challenge. Anyone who has read Marlene's Blog knows that she loves all things green. Here is what she said...
"I love the colour Green so you will have to use it somewhere in your creation.. and as I tend to use ribbon alot, I would like to see some of this too
Soooo… the challenge is that your creation has to have some green and some ribbon (alot or a little) in it. This can be a card, scrapbook page, altered item… anything at all...

So last night I made this. I stamped the card with my trusty Autumn Leaves Swirls 2 stamps an coloured them with Sakura Stardust Glitter Pens. The main image is Tilda in a Heart Dress, and I used my new SU circle sentiments inside my SU Scalloped punch. The ribbons is just some random stuff I found in my stash mountain. I used my Prismacolor and Sansador to colour....I am getting better with practice.....well I think I am.

Thanks Marlene, lovely challenge...and the candy looks amazing.
