Sugarbowl challenge




This card is made following the sketch by Erica for SugarNellie challenge the optional theme was make some flowers.

I chose the paper from a new pad from Prima called "Fairy Flora" which I just could not resist, even though I need more paperpads like I need a hole in the head!!! There are 4 of the same pattern so I could use a whole page for the base and  stamped my image so I could paperpiece her dress, cut out the flowers  for her to hold and punch the 3 flower embellies from a second sheet.

The image is "Demure" from Sugarnellie I think she is so sweet, she has been neglected for a while now so it was time she came out to play.  I inked the edges of the flowers and added pearls for the centres.

I built a (mark one) camera light box (thanks Pep pop) out of a cardboard box and white paper, but still have not got the lighting correct.  Note to self  see if there is a basic camera/photography class at night school this autumn.

I should like to enter this card into the Sugarbowl challenge here

    Gorgeous card! You've used one of my favourite paper pads, and strangely enough it's also one of my favourite sheets! xx
