Sugar Bowl #10 - Marlene's sketch

This fortnight's challenge over at the Sugar Bowl is a fabulous sketch by Marlene - I just knew I had to have a go.

I received this fab image of Annie as a birthday RAK from my friend Helen .... I decided to use it as she is holding flowers and I needed to make a "get well" card. However once I had found papers and embellies to suit I didn't think that the colour scheme really looked suitable for a get well card - so I have turned it into a birthday card and will be making another one for the original purpose! I must also admit that I overlooked the need for buttons until the last minute .. and the only space that was suitable for buttons on the card demanded TINY ones ... luckily I managed to find some that I received in a freebie card pack in my stash - phew!


I also made the effort with this one to decorate the inside ... it makes a card look so much more finished off somehow, and the other thing I like is that it gives me much more opportunity to use some of my sentiment stamps that only rarely make it onto the front of cards. :-)

Recipe:

Image: Sugar Nellie "Blossom" coloured with watercolour pencils and decorated with Stickles glitter.

Sentiment (inside): Hero Arts;

Papers: Papermania Creative Tones "Venetian Skies";

Supplies: flowers by Papermania (large blue), Cuddly Buddly (grey), Floradoodles (small blue); pearl brads by Papermania; charm from Dolls Made Up; spacers from the Hobby House; buttons from my stash.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
