A Sketch by Marlene!!


Good Morning all!!! I trust everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!! Mine is rainy here in Indiana, we seem to be having a lot of that right now but the crops sure need it so I guess it is a good thing for the farmers here.

I needed another notepad for a birthday gift so I made a post it note holder with my bind it all and one of the adorable Gorjuss Girls #3, from Sugar Nellie aren't they just gorgeous!!! She is colored with my copic's and I have used a rub on for the wording, The papers are from SU and all distressed with my vintage distressed inks. The flowers are from the retro punch from Fiskars and the branch punch from MS.

For the birthday card I used another one of the Gorjuss stamps from Sugar Nellie this one is from the #2nd set. I used the beautiful sketch that Marlene has over at the Sugar Bowl challenge and what a joy it was to work with the sketch, Thanks Marlene I will be using this one again.
My papers are from MME, the challenge was to also include doodle so I doodled around the nestibilities. I used my new Valentine border punch from MS (Oh what a wait it was for this cute little punch). My image was colored with my copic's and spica glitter pens and the wording is a rub on, and I added a few of the flat pearls to the bottom of my card, ribbon is from my stash.




Thanks for stopping bye today and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Big Hugs

    Donalda, I love your work, I've seen it on Challenge blogs many times. I'm a huge Gorjuss fan, so I already like what you do, but I have a question about your beautiful flowers. How do you get the marble effect on your papers? Is it alredy on the papers, or are you stamping it onto them? However, it is really pretty, and I love it, Judith x
