A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge

012a

I have got my days all muddled thats what happens when you only have 1 brain cell :( and very nearly didn’t post this card thinking it was Monday today,  thank goodness I realised in time that it is time for A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge we have an awesome sketch for you this week by our own talented Paola.

 012

Lots of pictures with this one.  I have used one of last years Tilda images and coloured her with Copics and Prismas as usual , The paper is from Magnolia as is the sentiment.

Copics Used:

Flesh: E21, E00, E000, E0000

Hair: E49, E39, E17, E13, E11

Dress: BG10, BG11

Flowers: RV000, R81, R83

Leaves YG91

and lots and lots of  Glamour dust has been added.

OMG when I had completed this card I went on a little blog hop and found that Bev had almost the same idea as me on how to use the Magnolia Doo Hickey  flower dies from Crafts U Love, I will be using them a lot more I just love them, I have distressed the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Inks from Crafters Companion then used Diamond Stickles around the edges, I also used the New Doo Hickey Leave Steam die, the gorgeous Rose, Cherry Blossom and Rose Buds are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here is a closer view of the bottom of the card and finally a close up of the image

1. Thank the person that gave it to you!  have done this one

2. Post it with pride on your blog – Yes must say I am really proud to do that

3. List 3 things you love about yourself.  - This is a hard one, I suppose you could say I am a good Mum (I hope my Kids agree), I care about people and lastly I think I have a good sense of humour

4. Post a picture you love....

5. Tag 5 other people for this Award – How hard is this

1 – Has to be dear Bev  - The best friend a girl can have
