The Sugar Bowl Challenge 28

I wanted to participate in The Sugar Bowl Challenge in hopes that I MIGHT have a chance on winning the brand new Magna Sugar Nellies which you can see here and they are items #2-7.  So adorable!  You have to use their sketch and add "lace" onto your card, which I chose a paper lace border.

I really didn't want to hide this gorgeous paper with embellishments but have a hard time leaving "white space".  I'm so not good at that but I forced myself to put the card down and back away from the table!  LOL!  If you look closely enough you can see the Spica pens shimmer in her hair.  I also added glaze to the coffee cup. 

Stamps:  Sugar Nellie
Paper:  Prima "Flirty Little Secret" Playful
Embellishments: Prima flowers, American Crafts pearl brad, Opaline pearls, Kaisercraft Pearls, Glossy Accents, Spica glitter pens and Stickles glitter.
Punches: Martha Stewart
Ink: Colored With Copics and Momento Ink

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #31

I colored two of these images last Sunday, Tilda with Vintage Roses, so I knew I had to use them up!  Colored images are like money in your pocket.  You just HAVE to use them!  LOL!  It's funny how different these cards turned out (see post below) considering I used the same Basic Grey Marrakech papers.  I love the spring feel to this card and must admit it's one of my most recent favorites!  I don't usually color light but managed to do it this time. 

This card is done up for Magnolia Down Under Challenge #31.  The sketch was given to us as well as the added challenge of making sure there was something orange on your card.  I don't use orange very often.......ok I couldn't tell you the last time I used orange......OH WAIT  HALLOWEEN!
