Sugar Sweet Winter Wonderland!

 
 WOW!! This one took me a while to do!!  And the only reason I say this is because of the sketch I tried to follow from what was provided for us on the Sugar Nellie SCS challenge!! :)  (They would like to have more people joining in over there, so if you're a SCS person and love these Sugar Nellies, then come on over and join in with the conversation and play with the sketch from Tiets!)  I just couldn't believe all the layers, but it was sure fun to figure out how to arrange all of these layers!! LOL!!

And this little sugar sweetie pie is the fun Winter Wonderland Home Grown image!  She's adorable and I had so much fun coloring her in!  I just used my usual Copics to color and then I sponged some Soft Sky ink around the edges and I put some white liquid pearls for the "dots" in the snowflakes.  And I so wish you could see how gorgeous these Silver Lustre papers are from Paper Temptress that I've used here.  It's so shimmery and it has a subtle pin stripe to it!!

I've also combined this fun sketch with another challenge going on:

And now take a look at this and you will understand one of the reasons why I'm trying to do as much stamping as possible to show you all of these fun goodies I've just recently got!!


I'm so excited as I just got the mail the other day from my prize winnings from The Sugar Bowl that I played along in and found out I won TWELVE Sugar Nellie images!!  It was a surprise at which images I would be getting, but to my surprise, out of all the ones I own, I only got one duplicate in the bunch!!
So perhaps I will gather up some more goodies for you and have a fun blog candy offer soon!!

I hope you like my card for you today and I will be back yet again tomorrow with some MORE new images that I couldn't help myself but get and you'll see why! :)  Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some really nice comments!!  I so appreciate that and it makes me smile!!
