Sugar bowl challenge and lovely tea!

Now I've been making the most of some time at home, it's been lovely, my daughter cooked the most delish tea of steak pie (from scratch, it really is a lie what they say about student cooking!)
She also made a lemon cheesecake the other night which I hadn't tried cos we ate out most of yesterday and that was wonderful as well, don't want her to go back to Nottingham now for more than the usual selfish mother reason.

Anyhoo, here's my card for Marlene's sketch at the sugar bowl, it was to use pink and brown as well which is always a fav combo. I used a gorguss girl coloured with copics, (My local craft store had an open day on today so managed to pick up some new colours for 10% off, bargain!) and some pink petticoat papers. The brads on the right hand corner I coloured with my copics to match the rest of the colours and then blinged them up with some embossing powders.

It's September already now how did that happen? So we've had the summer then have we? the colours on the My minds eye papers made me feel like an autumn day so I coloured with copics of course my gorguss girl, (poppy fields my very fav at the moment or at least until I can afford to buy some more.) I cut around the top half of her and shaped the card slighty and fixed it with silicone glue just to give it a bit of 3d well sort of anyway. I cut out a few extra flowers from the paper and curled them just a wee bit and fixed with silicone glue also. The ribbon is from my stash. It is a lovely sketch and I hope you like my twist on it.

Sugar bowl challenge 17

Here's my entry to the Sugar bowl challenge sketch. I've used a 'Gorguss girl' stamp coloured with copics. The optional extra was handmade flowers, so I made some paper ones, just circles distressedthen with a brad and some ribbon added. The papers are printed at home from a Pink Petticoat cd.
