Flowers and Sugar

Wow.  Two posts in two days.  What's going on?

The challenge at The Sugar Bowl was to use a sketch and the theme of recycling something to use on your card.



The stamp is one of the Gorjuss ones - I think it's called 'A little bird told me'(?) - coloured with copics and a little bit of sakura glitter.  The paper and flowers were from my stash.  I 'recycled' a couple of things for this card.  The text paper was actually from a very old dictionary we had lying around and I used pages with
'sugar' words on one and 'sweet' words on the other.  The butterfly embellishment was actually a piece taken from a necklace I picked up at Primark.  I would never have worn it as a necklace but it was made up of quite a few of these butterflies and perfect for embellishments.  Can't take the credit for it - I got the idea from someone out there in blogland.  I backed the butterfly with some matching paper and used sakura glaze pens to colour some of it in.  I was quite pleased with how this worked out.

The challenge at Papertake Challenge was to 'say it with flowers' and over at  A Spoonful of Sugar they are looking for 'Cute and Girly'   Totally Gorjuss are looking for 'round and round'  I'm putting this card in for these challenges also.

Thanks for looking
