Sugar Bowl - Challenge 74

Wow I can hardly believe it, 2 posts in a week!
Now this one is completely different for me. No pink or sparkles in sight! But she is still gorgeous, I hope you'll agree :-)

The image is a Sugar Nellie stamp called Strike A Pose. I've coloured her with my ProMarkers. This time I've tried doing her hair blond and its turned out really well if I do say so myself. I followed my friend Debbi's Promarker Tutorial. She's a Promarker Goddess. Have a look for yourself :-)

No DP this time, just some Core'dinations Cardstock. And the red frame is velvet (flock) paper I had leftover from making my wedding stationery 3ish years ago! The ribbon flower in the corner is cut using a Marianne Creatables die and the red lace is from my stash.

Here is her close up...

All comments welcome. Thanks for looking

Sundays With Santa - Week 1

Happy New Year my Crafty Followers! I hope 2012 is everything you wish it to be!
Following my 1st ever sober Christmas and Hogmanay I'm feeling refreshed and raring to go :-)

Here is my 1st card of 2012. We are starting again at the Sundays with Santa Facebook Group. Week one's challenge was 'Anything Goes' just to break us all in gently. I hope you like it?

The image is a Sugar Nellie stamp called Snow Buddies and I've coloured it with my ProMarkers. I've added sparkle to their fluffy bits using Glamour Dust.

The DP is DCWV Rose Tinted Christmas. The snowflake in the corner is cut using a Marianne Creatables die and everything else is from my stash.

Here are a couple of close ups...
