The Sugar Bowl Challenge...

Evening all!

Just quickly uploading my entry for the Sugar Bowl Challenge.

A fab sketch by Maria to follow this time, and the option of using purple & green.

I have used my lovely 'Hope' digi from Funky Kits, and used Copics to colour.

Other products used;

The lovely sentiment is a Pink Gem Designs stamp.

Papers are Basic Grey 'Sugared'

I really like this Cheery Lynn doily die, but it's very difficult to get a good cut in my Wizard. Any tips are welcome please! I have used flowers to cover the areas where it didn't cut too well.

Enjoy the rest of your evenings.
