sugar and spice

I don't often do scrapbook layouts, but i absolutely love these images and had to do a double page spread with them. Using a pink page that already had a slight pattern on, i used some masks, which i then inked around and then went round with a white pen to add stitching (and yes it took ages!) used some pearly doodles to add some accents. Inked around the photo which i used punches to make a pretty edge that i mounted the pictures on. The sentiments were from the Scribble flowers stamp set, which i just love. I glittered the petals and added gem in centre to finish off, and must admit.... im kind of liking scrapbooking, so may have to make alot more pages.       This shot shows a close up of the stitching detail.

With Mother's Day just 2 weeks away, thought id better get my card done for my Mum for this months post! I used several different stamp sets and products to make this card: All lined up Funky flowers Martha Stewart Leaf and Punch Set Glimmer Mist Martha Stewart Double Loops punch some ribbon and gems too from Sugar and Spice shop. Above & Below - Close up of the flowers i made from Punches, which i then stamped with the Funky Flowers stamps, and finished off with Martha Stewart Leaves punch, (did you know there is the cutest little ladybird in this punch!) this is a close up of the flower, which when id stamped it, and used inks to colour around the edges, i used glimmer mists to give them that gorgeous shine. Finished off with little pearls for the centre. Till next time, take care Nicki xXx
