The Sugar Bowl - Challenge 4 - One!
This weeks's challenge over on The Sugar Bowl is to make a card using only one piece of DP - impossible I thought!, but I have amazed myself at how it can be done.
I must admit, however, that it probably took longer than any card I make with more than 1 DP as I played around with the layout for ages before finally deciding on what to do.
Front of card
I have used SU cardstock from the pastels range, DP is Kay & Co, flowers are Imaginisce, brads are Doodlebug sugar-coated and the lace and ribbon are from my stash. The image is one of the new Sugar Nellie Elizabeth Bell range which are now available at Funkykits, the small sentiments are from one of the woodware sets I think (the one with all the stamps for making up a flower) and the circle one is also from a clear set, but unfortunately I have taken all the stamps off the sheet and cannot remember who it is by.
Inside of card
I cut off half of the front of the cardbase, decorated the half that was left and also the inside of the card. I then mounted the image onto the DP and then onto the SU card and white card before finally attaching it to the front of the card.
Back of card
There is a fantastic prize up for grabs for this challenge so get yourself over to the Sugar Bowl and have a go - you have to be in it to win it!
Thanks for looking

Hi honey...
I'm so glad it took you far longer than a normal card! It did for mine too...
Still isn't that what challenges are for???
Mind you I don't think the person who sets the challenges is supposed to be as challenged as everyone else...D'oh!
Thanks for getting sticky in The Sugar Bowl!
