Love You Bunches!

Hi friends, I hope you had a great weekend! I'm busy these days planning for both sets of grandparents to fly in for Jackson's 2nd birthday - it's only two weeks away, how fast the days go!

My card today is for the brand new SugarSketch and the Catered Crop Garden Party Recipe Swap!

My card today uses Love You Bunches

I colored with copics, and used some new-to-me Basic Grey paper for a pretty look!

Here's a peek inside my card...

SugarSketch 003 - Under The Weather?

Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, whether you were celebrating your Mum or being a Mum yourself! Mine was perfect - right up until poor little Jackson got one of those super quick hitting tummy bugs little ones get. We had a long night trying to keep him comfortable, but happily, he's much improved already.

Today I'm sharing my card for the new SugarPea Designs SugarSketch! If you haven't played along with these sketches yet, please check them out and add us to your challenge rotation - the sketches are beautiful and there are prizes to be won! You'll find all the details on that at the end of this post.

I've used the super adorable new Hello, Sunshine stamp set. I just love how this turned out with all the bright colors! I'm also playing along with the fabulous Color Q challenge for this week.

I've colored with copics, and paper pieced the umbrella. The die cut clouds were also shaded with copics.

SugarSketch 2 - What's Mew?

This is my second card today, for my first, please click here.

Wooohoo, it's time for our second SugarSketch at SugarPea Designs and there is some BIG NEWS - a random participant will win a $15 gift certificate for playing along! You don't have to use SugarPea stamps, but of course we would love to see them if you do!

Here's a peek at the fab sketch...

I love this sketch! I flipped it, so I could use What's Mew? My card is also for the new Catered Crop Recipe Swap - Think Green. 

With Earth day and Arbor day inspiring the challenge, I added some beautiful botanical elements to my card!

I had so much fun making this card! I colored up the adorable image with Copics, trimmed it out and added it to a white layer for a fresh look. I diecut the branches, then individually cut out each leaf, adding copic shading to both. The sentiment is stamped on a vellum (naturally) heart. I embellished with some enamel hearts and a scallop border.

SugarPea Designs Sugar Sketch Challenge #1!

Hi friends! I have some exciting news to share today - SugarPea Designs is starting a monthly sketch challenge - with a prize! I love sketches and Wendy has given us a classic to work with this month.

You'll turn to this one again and again! Here's my card...

Yup, another Tab Tuck Card! I wanted to ink up the adorable Gopher It set this time, colouring with copics and Prismacolor Pencils. I started with a hot pink card base, but then decided to stencil on a rock pattern. Then I decided to ink over it. I like the effect, I'm not so sure about the pink still peeking through though! 

I added stickles to the headlamp and pink diamonds. Here's a peek at the very simple inside...

I stamped the gopher in watermark ink, you can just see him sitting there!

Here are all the details you need to know about the new challenge!

• For our new monthly sketch challenges, SugarPea Designs stamps are NOT required.
