some gingham and notebook style paper from my stash and added a hint of dark pink with stitching and papers for matting and layering. The sentiment is a new purchase from a Whimsy stamps set and the flowers are from my stash.

I had so much fun making this card for my very talented Friend Petra for her birthday. She bakes the most wonderful cakes!
Here is a close up of my coloured image, I have tried to explain a little on the Sugar Nellie blog how I chose the colours I use on my card and image. You can read all about it here.
I have added some to this tag which I made using the new Whiff of Joy 'Oh Christmas Tree' Stamp.
You can find all the details on how to make the flowers here.
I have made a card using the adorable Swings and Slides 'Taking a Break' which I have coloured with Promarkers and then cut out leaving a small border. I used My Mind's Eye papers and a little cap charm and a sentiment stamp which is one of my all time favourites.
I love this image and I used papers from the same pad of Echo Park papers you saw on my card yesterday but in a much softer colour pallette. I coloured the image with Promarkers before die cutting it into a square and layering it onto a scalloped square. The sentiment I used is by Hero Arts and I added lots of flowers and some of my favourite gingham ribbon topped with a gingham button.
Delia was so much fun to colour in, I couldn't resist using lovely bright colours to match these gorgeous Echo Park papers. I die cut the image into an oval and mounted it onto a scalloped oval before adding it to the stitched layers on my card. The sentiment I used is by Hero Arts and the gorgeous vibrant ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl. The little wooden button is available here from Crafty Emma's Store.
I have a Sugar Nellie Christmas card to share with you today which I made using the adorable Christmas Garland image which is available here from Sugar Nellie. The papers I have used are Echo Park Holly Jolly and I die cut a large doily to mount my image onto from turquoise card. The image was coloured with Promarkers and I added 'snow' and glitter to the image after I had added it to the card. The sentiment is a Magnolia one and the flower was from my stash.
Make sure you pop over to the Sugar Nellie blog where you will be able to see the wonderful cards the DT have made using the new images.
I was delighted when I saw the new Whiff of Joy release for October as I am a huge fan of the Whiff of Joy Gnomes, I think they make such lovely cards and are such fun to colour in. The card I have to share with you today was made using the gorgeous Boy and Star and have coloured him with my Promarkers and cut him out. The card was die cut using a Sizzix die and I matted and layered pattened papers and an embossed panel of Kraft which I had sewed around the edges. I wrapped both panels with Baker's twine before adding to the card and tied on a banner tag stamped with a Whiff of Joy sentiment.
I have made a card following the sketch using a mix of Echo Park papers which were mostly taken from the Happy Days 6x6 stack. I inked around the edges of each layer before stitching with a Turquoise thread.
I have chosen to use a Gorjuss girl Sugar Nellie Foxy image on my card and am following the Sugar Bowl sketch and theme of Autumn.
To make the wreath, I covered a polystyrene circle shape with garden string by adding double sided tape to the polystyrene and wrapping the string tightly around and sticking the raw ends down with glue. To make 9 flowers, I stamped a piece of 6x12inch red card with the background patterns using perfect medium and heat embossed them with red glitter embossing powder. I die cut 9 sets of flowers and put them together mixing and matching the different patterns. I pierced through the middle and fastened them with Whiff of Joy brads.
I stamped and coloured the cute little bird stamp and cut him out before glittering and adding him to the wreath with my glue gun. I die cut some swirls from green card and positioned them around the wreath and arranged my flowers on top of them before decorating them with glitter glue. As a finishing touch I added a large green bow topped with a shiny button and a small banner stamped with a sentiment from this set.
The papers I have used are by Prima from the North Country pad and go perfectly with my favourite Kraft card and my favourite beige thread for stitching. I die cut some snowflakes from Kraft and dipped them in glitter before topping with some buttons. The sentiment stamp I used is by Paper Make Up.
I have made a folded pack to hold a couple of face masks and decorated it with The Princess Belle image which is available here from Whiff of Joy. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!
I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut it out leaving a small border. The button and letter stickers are from my stash and the lovely lace is from The Ribbon Girl.
Here is a closing up on my image. The colours on the main photo look a bit funny, this photo looks a bit better! I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. This week, we are sponsored by The Crimson Cloud and the prize for this week is 3 packs of die cuts.
I have made a card using the some new Echo Park Christmas papers and some spotty ribbon and a matching spotty button from my stash. I added a little zig zag stitching around the edges of the layers and a sentiment from the Whiff of Joy Xmas sentiments set which is available here.
After I had die cut them, I stamped them with a Hero arts Text stamp and added some distress stickles to make them sparkle. I have used a new Octopode Factory stamp I bought last weekend from the Sandown Craft show.
I love this image called 'Luv a Latte', she is lovely to colour and has beautiful eyes! I coloured her with my Promarkers to match these My Mind's Eye papers and added a Hero Arts sentiment which I framed with a metal tag. I added a wooden button and a couple of flowers as a finishing touch.
I have quite a collection of Sugar Nellie Gorgeous girl stamps now and I love colouring them in and I love the way they come to life as soon as I add some colour to them with my Promarkers. To make my card, I cut a shaped mini card with my scalloped circle Nesties and covered it with some layered Echo Park Papers. I added the coloured image after I had cut her out with scissors and shaped the bottom with a circle Nestie so it sat nicely on the card. I tucked a swirl die cut behind the image which had been cut from music sheet paper and glittered. I also added glitter to the angel wings and to the edges of the sentiment. I finished with some beautiful flowers from Wild Orchid crafts and a couple of gems.yesterday and bought lots of new goodies I am looking forward to playing with this week!
If you take part in the Challenge you may win one of the new limited edition Halloween kits
I am hoping to go to the Craft show at Sandown today to spend some of my pennies on crafty goodies! I will be missing Alexandra Palace as it falls on my birthday weekend this year and I am going away with my Hubby.
