Summer Joy Princess - Sugar Nellie

Glad you stopped by.  Today's card is featuring another of Sugar Nellie's cute little ScrapBerry critter stamps and this is Summer Joy Princess.  The set is so cute... it's got a couple flourish stamps, a crown, castle, heart and of course Princess.  I got off to a rollicking good start on this card.  Didn't take any time at all to decide on the paper and layout.  Even the gray bunny parts moved along quickly and then the ears... holy smokes, I ended up with the brightest pink inner ears you ever saw!  I tend to be a little heavy-handed at times and this was one of them.  There really wasn't a lot I could do with them at that point except try to tone them done and I think it worked... I went over the pink with a Copic Gray C0 and although it still isn't as 'light and delicate' as I intended, I'm happy with the outcome.  I love this image and this card is for a very special 'little princess' I know.

You can find these stamps over at Funky Kits... check out the 'what's new', there's a lot of cute little cats and bunnies in there.  Don't forget to enter the challenge at the Sugar Bowl  and check out then head on over to  Sugar Nellie Blog and the Sugar Nellie Facebook Fan Page for more inspiration.

Basik & K Thinking of You

Oh dear... what a moan I am having today!    I am really running behind, can't believe the month is half done, had an 8 hour meeting (yes, you read that right) yesterday and was hard pressed to get my card done for our Sugar Nellie Inspiration post.  Whew... I made it by the skin of my teeth and have to say, I am not really thrilled with the card.  These new ScrapBerry images at Funky Kits are the cutest little stamps but I was so rushed for time that... well, all I can say is that I wish I'd had more time!
This is one of the new ScrapBerry stamps which has been released at Funky Kits this month and this buggy eyed little cat set is called Thinking of You.  That cat has the funniest expression ever!

Copics:
Cat - C7, C5, C3, C1.  After colouring in the cat, I took a loopy piece of cloth saturated with Copic Colorless Blender medium and held it down to add some texture.  The mouse was coloured using the lighter gray colours.
Supplies:
Stamp & Sentiment - ScrapBerry's Basik & K Thinking of You
