Cards 2 Cherish

Hey there my sweet friends!! Welcome to my little Sugar Bowl post!! In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that, thanks to the magic of the internet, I have pre-scheduled today's post because I am currently on a little vacay with my handsome husband! But, I swear, I'm having an umbrella drink for each and every one of you! hehehe!

OK...let's get right to this fortnight's Sugar Bowl Challenge! Our very talented Sugar Mama, Gayle, has chosen the theme...

PAPER PIECING!

And she's given us this fun sketch to follow...

Hmmm...it's been a long, lonnng time since I've done any paper piecing! But...I tell ya, I had such fun with it!

Remember my sister, Dee? Well...this card is for her husband! He's an avid golfer...and, since his birthday is coming up, I decided to get a little jump start on his card!

I chose this cute little Sugar Nellie stamp called "Fore." This handsome little fella comes from Sugar Nellie's "Home Grown Manga Collection" and is available HERE at Funky Kits! I paper-pieced his cap and pants...then added a little more shading with Prismacolor pencils. Here's a side view...

My card "recipe"...

Cardstock: Not Quite Navy & Close to Cocoa (Stampin' Up)

And one last view...

Now it's time to pop on over to the Sugar Bowl and take a peek at all the gorgeous "paper pieced" creations by my fellow DT Sweeties. Then, come join us for this fortnight's challenge! One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a fabulous prize from Sugar Nellie. Once again, our prize for this Sugar Bowl Challenge is....

...your choice of FOUR Sugar Nellie stamps

Thanks so much for stopping by...and for your sweeeeeet comments! Hugs...until next time....
