A Gorjuss Sugar Bowl!

When I saw the prize over at The Sugar Bowl I just had to have a go. There is a wonderful sketch to follow by Gayle and you have to include ribbons and bows somewhere on your creation! I just love this sketch. I know some people have felt that it is a little too simple for their taste but I LOVE it. I'm more of a CAS girl myself anyway!


I just love these new GG's from the third set. I am a little short on craft money at the minute and these have had to go on my wish list but the wonderful Bernie has sent me a few of these images to keep me going! I think this image has to be one of my favourites {if not my absolute favourite} from the new set. I coloured her with my koh-i-nors and sansodor, glittering her wings before adding some glossy accents {not sure if the pic picks this up!}. The yummy papers are from the Bloom & Grow MME 6x6 pack, CS is DCWV. I have inked the edges of paper/CS with distress inks for extra definition. Faux stitching added around the edges by pricking holes with my pokey tool and using my white sakura pen. The cappucino pearls are beautiful and I got them from Elaine at Quixotic Paperie. You can get a bag of 100 for just 85p, which I think is just fab as I LOVE my pearls at the minute and with 100 in a bag I don't have to be too frugal with them! The sentiment is a cheapie rubber stamp that I picked up from a craft show last year. They had a special offer of 6 wood mounted rubber stamps for just £5! I was a bit dubious at the time as the quality didn't look that great but I have to say they stamp beautifully, so a real bargain!! Well I have to confess I finished the card and then realised that I hadn't included the additional 'ribbons & bows' and I so want to be in with a chance of winning the gorgeous manga anime stamps. Soooo I found this cute little ribbon bow on another embellie that I had, I pinched it and added it to the top right corner. To say it wasn't planned I think it actually look ok! I did try to put it in her hair or on the front of her dress but I didn't think it looked right in the end!

Well that's it for me this morning. Just got time to have a quick blog hop before work. I didn't get chance to have a look around yesterday as we went to see Harry Potter last night after work, bit dissapointed with it really, not as good as some of the others!

Have a great day, whatever you're up to! Thanks for stopping by to say hi!

Hugs, Vicky ~x~
