A Card for Sugary Sunday and Sugar Bowl Challenges

Good Afternoon Crafters, I know, I know Ive not been very good at posting over the last week but as usual Ive been busy with DT Challenge posts and they do take time to write up, anyway I have at least created a couple of cards, this one for this weeks Sugary Sunday's "Pearls and Pins" and another for the Sugar Bowl "Sketch" Challenge, anyway I have used this sweet image and I believe its one of Elizabeth Bells, its an old one of Funky Kits and I have unfortunately lost the name of her so I hope you will forgive me. Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Rectangle Die from Nestabilitie. I then cut a large one for the mount, the sentiment is one from my stash and has been mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, the papers I have used are from Echo Parks "So Happy" paper set, the background one is a green/blue paper, and the second is a yellow spot one and the third a patchwork one of several colours, these were all layered up as the sketch require. To finish of I has popped three pearls down the bottom left hand corner, and with some left over paper I have used a Marianne punch I have layered up three separate flowers and attached them to the card with silicone glue on top of some punched out leaves, Ive also popped two yellow heart pins in the middle, I also put three pearl brads in the center of the flowers.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for this weeks Sugary Nellie Challenge on Facebook

Good Evening Everyone, I dont know if your aware that Sugar Nellie also have a Challenge on Facebook and its a weekly one, they are mostly at the moment colour challenges, and this is the colour chart that we had to use this week.
Quite a tricky combination but I hope you consider that Ive kept to them on my card. Ive used one of the gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamps and coloured her with my copic pens then used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.22 to cut her out then draw around the die to create the mount.
The card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card and Ive used three papers from the Echo Park "Victorian Garden" papers, the first one is a pink background with two white damask corners, on top is a strip with a red rose on a pink background and the third is a green leaf one and Ive used on of the Cheery Lynn doily dies. On top I have then positioned my mounted image with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have created a flower with some of the left over paper and mounted this on top of punched our leave swirls in the top left hand corner.

A Card for Mo's Challenge - "Using Favourite Things"

Good Afternoon Everyone, well the sky has clouded over again and I think its going to pour with rain again, poor hubby and Missy got soaked this morning and she was filthy when she got back, and she is now nagging to go out again so I think its going to be repeated, oh well as long as Missy enjoys it what does it matter. Well todays card has been created for this weeks "Using Favourite Things" for Mo, and I just love this little mite sitting on his po, I can remember mine many moons ago going through this stage, and by gum Im relieved I dont need to do it anymore as it was quite stressful for not only them but me also.
Ive printed him onto white card then coloured him with my copics, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.7 to cut it out and the die to draw around for the mount. The base card was is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and one of three papers from the Echo Park "A Boys Life" and as I have to make quite a few cards for boys Ive begun to enjoy it, and the best border punches which I love using is this one with trains on, the final paper is a tartan one and this has also been mounted on a piece of the same blue card. The sentiment is the whimsey flag dies and stamps and has been cut and punched out of the same card and the sentiments have been stamped onto white card then cut out by hand. I then strung them all together and arranged them across the top, the final thing is another of my favourite things and that is two buttons from my stash.
