Sugar Nellie GDT

Hi Crafters,
I was so excited to be asked to do a Guest Design Spot for Sugar Nellie after entering their Competition in August. Each of the entrants will get to do a Guest spot and today is my turn.
I have made two projects using Sugar Nellie images for you today, here is 'Geisha', she is new and will be in the Funky Kits shop soon.

 Recipe

7" x 7" card blank

Geisha image provided by Sugar Nellie

Promarkers

Digital paper

Papermania Oriental Stamps

Beads and findings from stash

 

I matted the image on several layers of coloured card to match the matting on the background and tie it all together. The Oriental symbols are from a Papermania stamp set that I have stamped and embossed with black embossing powder and made a type of scroll by rolling up the two ends and placing a hanging bead arrangement from it to match the decoration in the Geisha’s hair.

 

I'd like to enter this in to these challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Sooo Girlie
Creative Fingers - #57 Anything Goes
 

My second project to share today is using 'Love Letters' and it's an altered box.
Isn't she gorgeous? She is from the Simply Sassy range.

 

Recipe

Kraft box

Image - Love Letters

Promarkers

My Minds Eye papers - Adventure

SB Floral Ovals

La, La Land Crafts - Filigree corner die

Sue Wilson - Faux Quilled Leaf die

WOC and Prima flowers

Recollections kraft foam letters

Wooden 'Memories' Buckle

Gemstone brad

White Satin Ribbon

 

The image gave me the idea to make a keepsake box, for precious memories and letters.

The papers have been inked around the edges and layered up to make panels for the box sides and top. I mounted the image on to the floral ovals die cut, love this die cut it's so useful and pretty. Added the filigree corners and ribbon with the gemstone brad to cover the knot and arranged the flowers. Lastly I added the kraft letters to the side. This image was so much fun to colour and quick too.
