The Ribbon Girl DT - April Colour Challenge - Ivory/Cream

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this month's Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge. Our colour theme this month is 'Ivory/Cream' and I was initially going to make a Wedding card but couldn't find the stamp I had planned to use so chose this lovely new stamp by Diane Duda instead which is called 'I carry your Heart with me'. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and paper pieced the dress using some of the My Mind's Eye papers I had used on my card. These papers are left overs from a very old pad.

After I had stamped my papers with the sentiment and layered them up, I wrapped them with some Silk ribbon and Mermaid sparkle ribbon and added a bow topped with a cream button. I also added some stickles to the heart the girl is carrying.

I went a bit crazy with the flowers and created a little arrangement using Kordt and Godt rolled flowers, tiny blossoms, cherry blossom, berries, roses and a resin flower. I added a wooden heart button to a ripped ticket which I stuck into the arrangement with a memo pin. All the buttons are tied with button twine. I tucked some jute mesh behind some of the flowers and finished with some tiny little pearls.

Sugar Nellie DT - Bunny Cuddles

Hello Everyone!  I have dug out one of my older Sugar Nellie stamps to showcase on a card this week for my post on the Sugar Nellie blog. The stamp I have used on my card is by Diane Duda and is called 'Bunny'. She is available at a Bargain price here from Funky Kits. I have coloured her in with my Promarkers in shades of pinks and browns and cut her out into a rectangle before distressing and sewing around the edges.

The papers I have used on my card are from various different My Mind's Eye pads and were in my scraps box. I added some sewing to tie all the papers together and matted them onto pink cardstock. I stamped a 'Paper Smooches' sentiment straight onto the backing papers before adding them to my card. I added a lovely bow using some pretty pink ribbon and lots of flowers from the Ribbon Girl and finished with a tiny wooden button and some stick on pearls.

Here is a close up of my image, I added a little touch of glitter to the bow in her hair and a little gem as the button on her dress. I coloured the bunny so she is wearing a matching dress. I hope you have enjoyed seeing one of the older Sugar Nellie stamps, I do love all the new releases, but it has been fun rediscovering an old favourite. Have a lovely Wednesday!
