Sugar Bowl #74

Maria has set the sketch over at the Sugar Bowl challenge this week, and the optional extra is no shop dought dp or digi papers (eekkkk!!!).

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 you need to follow ...

And my card ...

I used one of the latest Simply Adorable digi images, Victoria, and printed her out on kraft cardstock.  I coloured her in using my promarkers.  I made my own design paper using distress inks, glimmer mists and a Martha Stewart punch.  I inked over the cardstock using Victorian Velvet ink, and then created a mask using the punch.  I placed it over the centre of the cardstock and spritzed over the cardstock using tattered leather glimmer mist.  Being impatient, I used my heat gun to dry the mist off and then lifted the mask off ... a really cheap way to create your own masks!!  I inked round the dp with some vintage phot ink and and added some gingham, a double loop bow and a flower and swirl arrangement.  Finally some teeny flat backed pearls to finish.
