What's Mew?


It's my last post for SugarPea Designs today.

This time I decided to use the photo as inspiration.
And I just went with the colours of black, white and orange.

But I was happy with how this orange tabby turned out :)

Sniffles and Snuggles



I am lucky enough to be Guest Designing for SugarPea Designs this month and it's Challenge time again :)

You can use the sketch or the photo for inspiration, but I went with the sketch.
I think it's a great one!

I did change the sketch slightly to make a square card though as I wanted to use this adorable stamp and it's quite large.
It's called Sniffles and Snuggles.  I love it SO SO much!
It is adorably sweet!  I've wanted it for years and I am so happy to have it now :)



I coloured it with copics and paper pieced the blanket. I like the way it adds a touch of coziness .

Ingredients :
Stamps : Sniffles and Snuggles (Sugarpea Designs)
Card : x-press it, slate, My Girl (MME)

Go-pher it



I have some exciting news to share!
I was invited to be a Guest Designer for SugarPea Designs this month :)
I have LOVED their stamps for a long time now.
They have so many great designs that are cute and sweet and fun.
And I feel so lucky to get the opportunity to play with some of them in their challenges.

Here is the Mix It Up Challenge :

18

I decided to use the sketch side and the super-cute Go-pher It stamp set.
I wanted to make a Thank you card for a male and I thought this gopher and sentiment would be just perfect :)

I grunged up the kraft cardstock and I diecut a circle but then ripped and tore it more and used foam tape to give it dimension and give the impression of looking through a hole or tunnel.




Ingredients :
Stamps - Go-pher It (Sugarpea designs)
Card - x-press it, kraft
Ink - memento black, antique linen distress ink, versamark
Other - circle die, tag punch, stardust stickles, white ep,  glossy accents, copics

Copics used ;
 E 11, 13, 31, 33, 35, 50, 53, 55
Y 11, 13, 15, 28
BG 0000, 000, 11
R 30
YG 91
W 00, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
C 1, 3, 5

I hope you'll play along with this fun challenge at SugarPea Designs.  You might even win a prize :)
