Sugar Nellie - Hey Little Birdie

Good morning sugar fans! 

It's Thursday and my turn to share my little bit of sugary heaven with you. I decided to use this little sweetheart on a card; it's called 'Hey Little Birdie' and it's a digital stamp which I coloured with Copic pens. The stamp is available to buy and download from Funkykits the home of Sugar Nellie. I was inspired to use her after spotting her on one of the new topper sheets created by Hobby House for Sugar Nellie.

Here's What I Did

I've bought a new paper pad by Lawn Fawn which I've fallen in love with, and I can definitely see more purchases falling my way in the immediate future lol. I've also just bought a new bow die - it's brilliant to use and looks amazing when made up as you can see on my card.

This week I decided to create a CAS 5" x 5" card and use 2 colours to give a clean and crisp look. I printed my digital stamp onto some smooth cardstock and die cut it into a square.  The image was then coloured with Copics markers and one Flexmarker as my Blue Green decided to run out :(  I stamped snowflakes onto my finished topper using 2nd gen distressing ink (because the ink pad was too new and very juicy).  I matted and layered plain CS and patterned paper onto the card base and added my finished image on top.  To finish off I placed tiny stars 'n' dots around her and added glitter to the wings etc; lastly I added some die cut holly leaves, berries and a bow.
