A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge
Anyway when it does get uploaded, it will fit the challenge for A Spoonful of Sugar - Lots of Layering. I have had a good old rumage in my drawers and came across this stamp - unfortunately I don't know who made it but it just sums up my day! I coloured it with some more copics I bought (am I being converted?) The bowl is covered in Anitas diamond glaze to give a glass look.
At last, here they are:-.
and a close up of the broken fish bowl!!!!The poor old goldfish!
Items used:
Copics, Diamond Glaze, Mirror board, Papermill card, buttons from stash

A new Baby
Hello there hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
I'm still in the dilemma of which colouring medium to use. There are so many gorgeous cards done by you all with copics and distressing ins. I've even been looking on You Tube and seen so many different variations and preferences (isn't You Tube fab you click on one thing and then you can get sidelined by viewing so many other things so a few hours later your still surfing around!!!)
Anyway for my card I used promarkers. I only have a few, but have a few so to get the shading right is quite difficult, although it is coming along a little - practice makes perfect!
This card fits two challenges Cute Card Thursday to use the colour combo pink and grey and Friday Sketchers to use the fab sketch.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
The card is cream, the backing paper is gold which has been embossed with script embossing folder. The images have then been layered onto a deep blue ribbed paper - just a very hint of colour peeking through.
The Sugar Bowl Challenge.
Besides the caffufful of the above the Sugar Bowl Challenge had me in a bit of a flap - I've not been a particular fan of distressing papers, so thought I'd give a plain bit of paper a go - (it looks like wood chip to me now lol!)I've used one of my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps - I've been trying all sorts of different colour mediums to try and get a little more shading in my images - since Father Christmas missed me off his list for that, i'm gonna have to go in search of some !!!
Hugs, Sarah x

Whiff of Joy challenge.
The backing papers haven't shown up as aqua blue as they are IRL! but the general idea is there. I've overlapped the doily punch just to show a hint of the aqua backing paper. The Roses have been stickled and I found a aqua feather which finished off my card.
Voila - hope you like Sarah x
Sugar Bowl Challenge
Well if your anything like me I think I'm past it ..... I mean the snow and ice - I've had enough, all plans are going down the loo! and it's really affecting the elderly not just ourselves. I've done shopping for one old lady that was just about to venture out on her own! and another has had to be taken into hospital due to the cold - yes the fun has gone out of it now. Roll on Summer. So keep warm, safe and snug and let the world pass you by - Sx
