The Sugar Bowl Challenge #1 - Sketch by Tiets


Straight after midnight on 1st January 2009 a fantastic new challenge started as if you didn't already know The SugarBowl and there first challenge is a fabulous sketch by Tiets. There are rules to follow so I would advise that you pop over and have a read before you enter the challenge and feast your eyes on the fabby examples provided by the Design Team. Well for my card I have been very good again today another uninked stamp used. I bought Luca Pirate at the SECC in October, glad I bought this one now he is fab. Watercoloured again today however not happy with the watercolour pad> W H smiths and normally there ok but this one is a bit funny to work with either that or its me. The papers I dug out from the bottom of the stack, K & Co Lifes journey perfect for what i was trying to achieve and something else that's not been used in ages. The accessories are cuttlebug kids dies. The map I made from paper and after a well earned cuppa used the T-Bag all over the paper to get an aged effect. Lots of distressing later, voila one boys card. Hope you like. Kids are back at school tomorrow, we are starting to decorate Emma's room. the walls have to be lined with insulated plaster board first. So mes thinks we will be at it for weeks. Then the hubster is starting my craft cubby hole woohoo can't wait. well I'm off to hop the blog for a while. Thanks for stopping by, toodles.
