Sugar Bowl #71

Its Erika's turn to set the sketch over at the Sugar Bowl challenge this week, and the optional extra is patchwork.

One lucky winner of this challenge will have their choice of 4 stamps (or 6 stamps, if we reach 100+ entries) either from the new release or any stamps from the Sugar Nellie range at

Here's the sketch ...

 and my card ...

I used a Sugar Nellie digi image, Little Plaits, and coloured her using my promarkers.  I 'stole' some pink dp from the girls' craft stash and made up patch work squares, stitching them together using my sewing machine.  I stitched some co-ordinating panels across the centres, and added a flower created using a Marianne Creatible die set and a pink gingham bow behind it.  The sentiment is a Penny Black one.

Now I know it is pink ... and I HATE pink, but one of Beth's friends has just started wearing glasses and she hates them, really hates them ... but loves pink ... so I made a card for her from Beth, hopefully to make her feel better, as that is one cute image, and wearing glasses.  It did make me think, as I was trying to find a stamp to use, how few stamps there are out there with people/children wearing glasses ...hmmmm.
