The stamp is a Sugar Nellie called 'Custard' - one of the first stamps I ever bought and it's been too long since I last used it. I've coloured it mainly with promarkers, adding a bit of koh-i-noor pencil for shading. The papers are a mix of Papermania and Dovecraft, with coredinations cardstock. Butterfly cut with a Stampin' Up embosslits die, border cut with MS scallop dot punch, ribbon and pearls from my stash.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- The Sugar Bowl - sketch + optional blue theme
- Sweet Stampin' - on the farm
- CES Challenges - mix & match (use papers from different manufacturers)
This is also my entry for the Sugar Nellie facebook challenge, which is punches, but I need to go and work out how to enter that as I've only just joined the group!
Ooh.... I know this is a bit boring for most of you, but those with mini champions of fussiness will understand my excitement - Dex ate a strawberry today, just because he wanted to!!! He's not eaten a strawberry (or lots of other things) for about 2yrs so I'm very pleased. He said he liked it too :o)
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeletelove this card!! The image is fab and the colours you've used create a perfect outdoor feel. Love your layout too. xx
Well done Dex! I know just what it's like to have kids that won't eat a varied diet; my eldest son lived on Weetabix and bananas for about two years and I thought he'd never eat normally! xx
Great card Lisa - love the image, wonderful colouring and great layout. Well done to Dex too. Hugs, Claire x
ReplyDeleteOh I love this card Lisa,it's so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHugs Heidy

ReplyDeleteSuper card Lisa.Love the colour combo and that is one gorgeous cow. Well done to Dex. My son was a terrible eater and at 26 still doesn`t eat fruit or veg very often. He`s fit and healthy and that`s all that matters.

ReplyDeleteFab about your son hunni, my youngest is 15 & the only fruit he will eat is a bananna or an apple if I peel the skin off. He really is fussy hun. My eldest will eat ANYTHING but not my youngest lol, he's even funny on puddings....He has been like this all his life.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
Hi Lisa love that image and youve created a fabulous card with it. My grandchildren are like that wont try anything in case it kills them, its yucky in their eyes. hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, what a fun card - great image and colour combo. Well done Dex too on trying strawberries, I know just how you feel. My Emily is a good eater - of what she likes but nothing else! She will only eat apples and bananas, just refuses any other fruit and as for veg! Just don't go there! Everyone tells me they grow out of it - I hope so. Sarah
ReplyDeleteVery sweet card Lisa, love the image and gorgeous colour combo. Bradley ate a green bean today, we told him Mr. Bloom had grown it. It's great when they try something new. Well done Dex.

Stunning card Lisa! Great image and you colouring of Miss Moo is perfect!! Juliexx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lisa...again!! I understand your excitement about Dex and the strawberry...my youngest son Chris is 27 soon and he was the FUSSIEST eater (unlike my first who'd eat anything!) Chris didn't start eating "new" things until he worked in a restaurant while he was at Uni and had to road test the menu... he still doesn't like strawberries - it's the texture...apparently!! Dee
ReplyDeleteabsolutley gorgeous Lisa....thank you for entering our mix and match challenge at CES.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kaylou xx
I love it Lisa....such a neat card - love the sky too!
