Anyone for Strawberries?

 Every Sunday on the Facebook Sugar Nellie page Fiona posts a challenge .. this week's was a photo inspiration challenge using ... a strawberry pavlova ... it looks mouthwatering!!!

 I love my Sugar Nellies, and the new mangas are fab ... this is Strawberry Patch.  I coloured her with my pens, shading isn't brill, but I have a ganglion on my hand that is currently affecting the feeling in 3 of my fingers and my wrist ... makes holding pens and colouring painful.  I followed the sketch from the Allsorts challenge, and used gingham papers from Pink Petticoat.  I cut the image out and put her onto this scalloped circle made with a Marianne Creatible die.  The flowers are punched and I added card candy and flat backed pearls.

 I am having a crafty weekend ... with how long it is taking me to colour I need plenty of time to get ahead with some of my DT work.  Dave has taken the girls away for the weekend to give me some peace ... he is insisting I catch up with some sleep as I am losing quite a bit with the sore hand.  Craft/sleep ... hmmmm wonder which will win lOL!!
