Sugar, Sugar, Sugar

Here is my card for this weeks Sugarbowl Challenge, this weeks challenge is 3 and you can only use 3 different patterned papers and 3 different types of embellishments. If you use 3 different Sugar Nellie stamps you get 2 entries.

The embellishments I chose to use are flowers, buttons and ribbon. The stamps I used are Cheddar, Braveheart and Pringle from the soft centres range.

This is the front:

And the back:

The papers are by k&co. I cut the swirls on my slice and with a sizzix die, I didn't count them as embellishments as you are allowed to use coloured card and I cut them from coloured card. The sentiments I did in MS Picture It! Publishing.

And some close ups:

Pringle

Another card made with a wonderful Sugarnellie stamp Pringle and my favorite papers by A Tanabe called Homespun. I've searched and searched for the download link to them but cant find it- sorry! I hate not giving proper credit or a link to things I've used so if anyone can help me let me know.

Once again I've gone embellishment crazy with buttons bows and flowers, I don't do simple and elegant though so it should be expected!

Now to answer a question from Mar G way back on my March calendar page (sorry for neglecting you for so long) I cut my stamped images out with both a craft knife and scissors, I use a knife for the intricate parts and scissors for the main parts ~ Now all come closer I'm only gonna whisper this little secret once~ when I'm cutting out really intricate bits like tails, antennas etc I cut it a bit larger than it actually is so its not too flimsy and then colour the white that remains with a black pen so you cant see where I've not cut it exactly~ you didn't hear that from me though right!
