Good Home

A bit late this morning I forgot the glossy accents on Meg's goggles, so I had to wait till they were nearly dry to photo the card.
This is Pink Gem Design's Scuba Meg at first I wasn't sure how to use her but since I've used the swirls for water on another card, I though it would work with Meg. I've used stickles to highlight the swirls and the sketch is #108  from Sketch Saturday.
I've seen twine used on cards so I brought some but I'm not sure I like it, don't mind the bow but the little knots on the other buttons are annoying me. Wished now I coloured a few more fish too. The papers are Kaiser which I've only got scrap left, maybe enough for one more card.

Few weeks ago I had a bit of a sort out of some stamps, well family and non blogging friends  have had a few but I still have a few left. So I've put them in groups this one is the first one of Sugar Nellies by Elizabeth Bell. I'm not getting rid of them cos I don't like them but I've my favourites which I always use and these cuties get overlooked so they need to go to home where they will get used. They probably have been used and they have ez mount on them.
So hopefully I've added Mr Linky so if you feel you can give them a good home just link with Mr Linky and if he disappears please pop back later.

Hi Debby, I love your card - especially the way you glittered the swirls behind the image!
I would love a Sugar Nellie stamp mainly so I can get more practice at colouring, using my Copic Markers! They are really cute stamps! Thank you for being so generous and giving these away!

Hi Debby, Mr Linky is poorly, so am leaving you this little message, will try to do the link a bit later.

I would love these little beauties to come and live with me. As you know, I do love to make girly cards, so they would get a loving home, be much used and loved. I dont have too many Sugar Nellie's so if you were to pick me, I would be really pleased and I could enter more of their challenges. Thanks for sharing them, big hugs Heidi xx

Merlie said...

Very generous of you, Debbie! I don't own Sugar Nellies at all and would love to give them a new home. Thanks for the opportunity. Your card is always amazing!

stephanne said...

Awwww, your snorkeling kitty is purrfect, though a cat in water does seem a little taboo. I think the twine brings a rustic touch to a button, yours are delightful!! Now, as for those Sugar Nellie stamps, rest assured, I would give them a good home. A Sugar Nellie spend is at the TOP of my ever-growing wishlist, I know I am behind the times.. Either that, or I have a really long wishlist, or both, lol!! Anyway, I'd love to adopt them, I am head over heels in love with Elisabeth Belle images :)
Waffling now, hugs, Stephanne

What an adorable card Debby. Love that cute image and the little adorable fish. I like it but as you say would look good with a few more fish. I like the effect with the knotted buttons, although I'm not very good at it myself. keeleyxx
