Marlene's Sketch

Hi Everyone
Today I was down at Crafts U Love with the uber talented Kim Piggott where we made a tag card - well I nearly made one as there is so much involved in one of her cards it is impossible for a slow coach like me to finish in two hours!

So todays challenge card had to be a simple one! I used the sketch over on the Sugar Bowl by the lovely Marlene. The layout instantly had me reaching for their lovely cherub stamp and I coloured it with distresssed inks, divided it into four and then put crackle accents over top. Its the first time I have tried this and I am quite pleased with the result as the distressed inks didn't carry as much as I expected but has given a bit of an aged effect. The added requirement was to use lace and I used this fabulous cotton lace from Crafts U Love.

Sugar Bowl - Challenge 24

Hi all
I'm back from my little trip to Lille and have been a busy bee today catching up with all of my chores. So I will post some of my photo's later in the week.

Well some of my attempts at scheduling my posts ended up on the wrong days, but that was more the author than the system!  whoops!.

So today we are back to real time and I have just got time to load this card for the my first time playing in the Sugar Bowl with a sketch designed by the uber talented Marlene and a requirement for some Zig-zag.

I used the adorable Pip with presents and coloured him with  copics. The presents were Glamour dusted  and the hat was trimmed with white flock, which I was introduced to by Jane Gill at the weekend (where we made a futher 3 Xmas cards).
