Who does n't love a donkey!!!...

Hello friends,

It's Sue here today!

I'm trying to catch up with all my blog posts so here is card I made a while ago for a lovely friend of mine.
I have a real soft spot for donkeys! <3 (Be honest - who does n't)???

This card is made with the gorgeous 

I used my favourite card for pencils - Bockingford Hot Pressed, coloured this cutie with Faber Castell Polychromos and cut him/her (?) out! (:

To create the background I cut a 10cm x 13cm rectangle of Bockingford card and blended Distress Oxide Inks in Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick over it.  I also splattered it with water and Perfect Pearls to create texture. 

I then used the largest Fishtail die to cut a piece another piece of Bockingford and fixed it to the background.

I cut out a fishtail banner die... (Your Next Stamp - discontinued - but any small die would do, you could adapt this bit)!... and stamped the sentiment from
Stamping Bella Mail Chick
in black ink onto it.  I fixed the sentiment to the card design as shown, along with the donkey!

I heart you...

Hello everyone, it's Sue here today.

This card now lives safely with it's birthday recipient and I can share it with you!

I have used one of the many beautiful images by 
Stamping Bella


I so enjoyed making this card!

The image is stamped in black ink on Bockingford card and coloured with Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils.

I used the matching Snapshots Polaroid Die to coat the frame for the image and placed it on some patterned paper with an organza ribbon bow.

The sentiment is from the

You're doubly sweet...

Happy Sunday everyone and Happy October 0-:  

Sue here today with a double dose of Stamping Bella Sweetness.

I have a few thank you's in respect of these two cards - 
firstly to our Faye for her inspiration and patient support and feedback in respect of my no lines colouring,
secondly to our Elaine for her wonderful inspiration in respect of colouring backgrounds and grounding an image, and finally to our lovely Tracy for not giving up on me whilst I've had a little break!

I would never had had the confidence to colour these sweeties without the help of these two lovely ladies!
