Get well soon....

Hello All....

How are you all, hope you are enjoying your weekend.....I have finally got round to completing my sugar bowl entry....Honestly I don't know why I have so much bother with sketches....I seem to work better when a design just happens.......anyway I got there in the end.

I have altered this Sassy Image slightly.....I took away the bench, and then I drew in the ropes of the swing ...... honestly I cant believe I once took higher art...my drawing is dreadful......(I am hoping the ongoing work on my art journal will improve that!) the swing turned out slightly uneven...which is why I added the bow to disguise that slightly......I have coloured the image with copics...and then glittered up with some Martha Stewart glitter.

The papers are "Basic Grey" and " Daisy D".......finally I have added some ribbon, and done some stitching with some glitter thread......all my threads are left over from sewing projects, but I am considering getting a few more of these glittery threads.....

any hoo......that's me for today.

This is my entry for:

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch and embossing (there is embossing there its just well hidden. its on the scallop detail that is on the edge of the image)
lets Ink It up - anything goes
Make it colourful - warm or cool ( I have gone for the cool option)
If the Shoe Fits Scrap it - Ribbons and bows
Basic Grey - Dots and Spots

    This is gorgeous Juls. Don't knock your drawing skills - I would never have guessed the swing ropes were hand drawn (well saved with the bow though.) Super image and fab bp.

    I love your swing ; and the fact that the ropes are uneven makes it even more charming. That's what I love about handmade. It doesn't have to be perfect but I can see in a split second that this card is made with love and attention. And THAT counts!!
    Hugs,
