Rock Star!

Here's a card I've made for my godson who will be 6 years old at the weekend. I always struggle to find boy images as I don't have many stamps that aren't cute or girly!! But I had some images stamped for me, and decided that this was perfect!

Supplies:
Image: "Rock Idol" from Sugar Nellie Manga collection, coloured with Promarkers
Papers: Dovecraft "Masculine" paper pack
Embellishments: Star eyelet, die-cut sentiment, inking around the edge of the card.

Challenges:
The Sugar Bowl #68 - Sketch

Rock Idol!

I've made this card for my cousin's son - I always struggle with boy cards, but this manga image was perfect!! I also had an idea to use the mirri board & circle die as a sort of CD/stage?? Love the colours it throws off in the light!

Supplies:
Image: "Rock Idol" by Sugar Nellie, coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment: "You Rock" from Digi Doodle Shop
Paper: Freebie from a magazine, black paper from Dovecraft, everything backed onto mirri board card!
Tools: Nellie's multiframes Circles.

Daisy in the Garden!

I really must look for some more Sugar Nellie's at the NEC Hobbycrafts show this week - poor Daisy looks a bit lonely and she's the only one I have!

Crafty Emma's Store Challenge is asking for a card inspired by a song...mine is:

"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you,

It won't be a stylish marriage,

I can't afford a carriage,

But you'll look sweet upon the seat,

Of a bicycle made for two."

I remember Mum singing this to me when I was little.

Supplies:
Image: "Daisy" from Sugar Nellie coloured with Promarkers
Papers: Blue butterfly & yellow striped paper from Papermania
Embellishments: Chipboard flowers & tag (inked yellow), with gems & peel off sentiment

Autumn Daisy!

Here's another card featuring Daisy. She's our only Sugar Nellie girl at the moment, so all my Sugar Bowl entries feature her! I've used Promarkers to colour her.

I've used pigment inks to colour the edge of my card (a bit of orange, yellow & green), and used some flower paper from a magazine freebie to go for an autumn colour theme. I'm not sure what the green net-string stuff is (if someone could enlighten me that would be great....), but I've added some of that as I found it lying in the bottom of the drawer and is seemed to fit. I've cut some Core Color card using nesties, and Daisy's sitting in the middle.

Sugar Nellie & My Mind's Eye

Here another little card I've made with "Daisy" from the Sugar Nellie family!

I've coloured her with my Promarkers, and both the papers are from the My Mind's Eye summer papers that were free with July's Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine. I think they're perfect for this little girl sitting outside with her flowers! I've added a couple of eyelets to the card, but kept it quite simple other than that!

My first Sugar Nellie card!

My lovely Mum bought me the "Daisy" Sugar Nellie stamp for my birthday, and this is the first card I've made with it!!

I coloured the image using my Promarkers, and used some downloaded purple flowery paper from Cuddly Buddly for the background. The yellow ribbon, photo brad thingy and green flowers are all from the Papermania Capsule collections. I've just added some little brads for the flower centres. Apologies for the dog hair in the middle of the card - he gets everywhere!
