Hi friends...Guess what time it is? It's time for another fun challenge over at the
Sugar Bowl! Our hostess for this challenge is the very talented DT Sweetie, Lilian, who has come up with this fabulous sketch for us to follow! She's also challenged us to keep it "Clean & Simple". Well...let me tell ya, this was a tough one for me...because there is generally nothing clean or simple about my cards! I have a tendency to use lots & lots of embellies...I guess that's why they call it a "challenge", right?! OK...so here's Lilian's Sketch...
Fun, huh? Well...I pulled out one of the cutest little Simply Sassy girls named "Bella Bunting" (available at
Funky Kits)...and got busy...here's what I came up with...
I used a fun die from my stash and made a little "Bella Bookmark" ...then created a little pocket on the front of the card to slip the bookmark into. It's a card...AND a bookmark!! Clever, huh?!
And here are a couple of side views...
And, in keeping with the "clean & simple" theme...here's the clean & simple inside...
And here's the rest of my card "recipe"...
Cardstock & ink for sentiment: Marina Mist (Stampin' Up)
DPs, ribbon, bow, & button: my stash
Pearls: ZVA Creatives
Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug
Edging: Martha Stewart "Bubbles"
Sentiment: LOTV
Copics: E21, 00, 000, 0000 (skin); R20 (cheeks); R83, 81, RV10 (pinks); B26, 23, 21, 00 (blues); G24, 21, 20 (eyes); C1, 0, 00 (shadows).
So...I think that's it for me...now it's your turn to make a "Clean & Simple" card following Lilian's sketch...and using at least ONE Sugar Nellie Image. But....FIRST...hop on over to the
Sugar Bowl and spend a little time enjoying the incredibly gorgeous little paper treasures by my fellow Design Team Sweeties!! And...as always, TWO lucky participants will be chosen - at random - to win an awesome prize of 6 stamps from the new releases at Funky Kits
HERE. So...run, don't walk, to your craft room and get busy!! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks sooooo much for stopping by to visit me...I do so enjoy your visits and your sweet, sweet comments! Until next time...
