sugar nellie blog hop

At last its Friday!! and the weekend starts here, and today is the day that Sugar Nellies new Diane Duda stamps are released and to celebrate there will be a blog hop, so i hope you've got your trainers on ready to hop till you drop !!! if you are joining in the hop you should have arrived here from scrappyjans blog if not then you'll need to go back to Sugar Nellie to make sure you haven't missed anything

I am thrilled to bits to have been selected to take part in this (my first) blog hop , the image, i was so kindly sent is called 'curtsy' and is totally different to any image i own and it inspired me to try something new, so i decided to make an acetate card and having tried a few colour combos i settled on a monchrome look and i think it suits her quite well, at one point she even had a blue rinse!!! but i didn't quite fancy the mrs Slocombe look lol

The acetate i've had for years and the black plain card is from the papermill, the image is coloured with my promarkers and the edges are inked with black soot distress ink, then cut with the oval and scalloped oval nesties. The scalloped oval and some of the flowers are sprayed with silver cosmic shimmer mist, the flowers are cut with the retro flower and x-cut punches the leaves are a woodware punch and the roses are from wildorchidcrafts. The brads are papermania, the spacers from ebay and the dragonfly, pin and ribbon are from my stash .

Dont forget the Diane Duda stamps are on sale over at funky kits today and if you're a sugar addict like me then get yours quick before they sell out , but dont worry its guilt free sugar shopping cos we've burnt off those calories doing all that hopping!!!lol

Who needs chocolate eh !!!
now its time for you to hop on over to Norway for another sugar fix and say hello to Kerrtu .

Thanks for hopping in

Hugs
