The Sugar Bowl–Challenge 85–Kiki’s Sketch

It’s time for another challenge over at The Sugar Bowl

A nice simple sketch from our Kiki too!

Our theme this time around is

SHADES OF VIOLET

So it’s time to drag out some of my most favourite stroking papers…

These are soooo pretty it’s really quite difficult to cut into them!!!!

I’ve eliminated my usual ‘mat every layer’ routine this time as my arm and hand are still very sore so, eliminating the double cutting of everything reduced my pain quite considerably and it’s always good to take a break from the norm…

The stamp I’ve used, Delia, is one of my favourites! So easy to colour too which, again, helps with the pain.

Thankfully, I start physiotherapy on Friday so, let’s hope that brings some relief!

One final word this week, a HUGE birthday mention to our very own Erika, whose birthday is today…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE….I hope you get thoroughly spoiled rotten!!!

Those are beautiful papers Gayle so kudos for cutting them up but I love this card so definitely think it was worth it. Hope you are feeling better soon!
