THE SUGAR BOWL - BLUE

Evening all, Its he last week of the boys summer holiday so I took them out for a treat to the cinema, they choose to see Mr Poppers Penguins, and lets say it was a huge hit, but then 6 cute penguins and Jim Carey it couldn't be anything other than a huge hit, we all loved it, then took the boys to tea with my BFF and her girls, so heres a piccie of me, my boys and my BFFS two girls........

Anyway I guess I better tell you about my card for this weeks SUGAR BOWL, Gayle and her sweeties have challenged us with a fantastic sketch from Maria, with the optional theme of BLUE, so heres my 1st card..... long story but we set Cathy Wallington the challenge of at least 4 cards for the challenge in the next two weeks, so thought I'd better show willing and try and do four as well..... so heres my SUGAR BOWL card.......

Excuse my photography but the card is straight its just the photo that makes it appear squint.....

I was going to go down my usual road of using flowers but then thought, No Fiona, lets do something differnt so went with making the rossette on this card.....just something different.

Heres a close of of my favourite Sherbit Pip, have you heard theres another couple of pips coming soon, can't wait, I love these pips.

Used to make my card were.....

I am asheaned to say that I've had this poor Sassy since it was released and this is the first time I've got round to inking her up.......... I know its a disgrace, shes just so pretty.....

Sugar Bowl again

Well over on the SUGAR NELLIE facebook page, our Sugar Mamma make a joke about Cathy Wallington and Fiona Robertson having to make at least 6 entries in the 4 weeks the challenge was running, and well they both rose to the occasion and exceeded all our wildest believes, they both hit 9 cards if not more and each card was totally outstanding, so in the last few days they've been egging us other girlies to try and match them, well theres no way I can reach that number in that short a period of time, but I've had another bash and came up with this card..........

I have coloured this card with some of the Spectrum Noirs from Crafter Companion, and I'll say I think I'm defo a promarker girl, these pens are going to take a lot of getting use too.

Heres a wee close up on this stunning Sassy Girl, Pillow Talk from Funky Kits

I have kept this card simple with lots of white to highlight the bright pink hair, Cathy I hope you are impressed with all this pink.....think I might be a convert to PINK.
