I love this Sugar Nellie, she is so calm and placid, unlike the Gremlins I live with!!! I have decided to have another go at katharina's sketch (see a couple of posts below) with her. I have used a selection of K& Co and Making Memories papers, which I have inked on the edges. The lace and braid are from my stash. I left the lace in a pot of tea for a couple of minutes to get a more antique effect on it. I added a prima flower, which looks really bright having been scanned, but it is the same colour as the dark part of the roses. Sadly I have cut of the edge of the card - oops!!I don't normally use up my antiquey, floral papers, but I quite like hte result of this one. Ellie will be sad - less crafting stuff for her!!
Thanks for looking,
