Sooooo, let's get right down to business, shall we? For this fortnight's Sugar Bowl Challenge, our very talented Kiki has given us this fun sketch to follow . . . .
And, since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, our theme is . . . .
LOVE!
Perfect, huh?! Well . . . I thought I'd make a card that could be used for Valentine's Day, or an anniversary, or just to say "I love you." And here's what I came up with . . . . .
I chose a gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamp from the Simply Sassy Collection called "Pillow Talk." You can find this little missy HERE at Funky Kits! I decided to shake things up a bit, so I stamped the image with Memento Desert Sand ink, making the outline very subtle. The stamped image looks almost like it has no lines, doesn't it? I quite like the effect! Here's an extreme close-up . . . .
WOW! Would'ja just look at that hair? It's scrumptious!! And I had such fun coloring it!! Here's a side view . . . .
And another . . . sorry, I'm practicing my picture-taking! hehe!!
