Sugar Nellie DT - Summer Smiles

Hello again!It's my day for posting on the Sugar Nellie blog today and I am showing a card I have made using the Summer Adorables digi image Summer Smiles which is available here from Funky Kits. I used some old papers and lace from my stash on the card and coloured the image in with my Promarkers before I cut her out leaving a small border.

I added a My Favourite Things sentiment and some paper flowers from The Ribbon Girl to match the papers and finished with some stick on pearls.

 

Here is a little close up of my image.  I added some stickles to the flowers on her shoes and the little hearts on her bag and top to give her a bit of extra sparkle. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Sugar Nellie DT - Follow your Heart

Hello Everyone! I have a card to share with you today which I made a little while ago for a Dear Friend's Birthday using a fun Diane Duda stamp called 'Follow your Heart' which is available here from Funky Kits.

 I used papers from a My Mind's Eye pad and stamped a sentiment by My Favourite Things straight on to the papers. I added my usual stitching and some lovely paper flowers and a funky big button.

Sugar Nellie DT - Bookmark This!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and having a good week. I am not. I have a nasty cough and cold and had been plodding along but, after another night with very little sleep due to my blocked nose and coughing, I have given in and am resting up today in bed to fight off these germs! I have made something a little bit different for my Sugar Nellie post this week. I dug out my unused Dienamics bookmark die and matching stamps and die cut a bookmark using some scraps of paper. 

I added a little bit of stitching to the tartan paper and then stamped and coloured the lovely Simply Sassy High School Student stamp which is available here from Funky Kits. I stuck her on to the bookmark with glue after I had cut her out leaving a small border.

I die cut some flowers using another dienamics die and inked the edges before layering it up and topped it with a wooden button I bought in Farnborough. I sandwiched a length of velvet ribbon between the flower and the bookmark as a finishing touch. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!
