sugary, sugar rush sweet...

okay, so i have this friend sj who's, well, quite frankly, talented. i met her back on the design team in the gogo days, where she also rocks their kits. anyways, she has this blog where you can download her images to use on your projects, get this, for free :)

so i promptly downloaded them and set to work, well, it's rude not to really!

so here's tabitha :) i've been itching to crack open some more basic grey, this time it's the turn for 'sugar rush', i don't think it's a coincidence that it rhymes with 'lush'. i also stamped some flower petals, using 'pick a petal' from stampin' up...

i've also got a new favourite colorbox fluid chalk ink colour, charcoal, seriously, it's much less harsher than traditional old black for inking the edges. i've also layered up the lovely lady's scarf and added some 'frosted lace' stickles to her little hearts and buttons...and here's ollie and bea :) i've twinned this up with shimelle's 'can't buy me love' digi kit and a corrugated card base. i've printed ollie and bea onto glossy photo paper (after dropping the image onto the pink heart paper in photoshop) and printed the rest of the papers onto a matt card, the contrast between the gloss and matt is immense, you have to trust me on that!

i've twisted the ribbon tail and glued it further down just for some added funk, oh, and of course added some sparkle with some papermania glitter dots...

i just love the scalloped edging to the hearts on that paper, yum.

anyways, i'm planning on doing some more stamping projects this week. i don't do it often enough.
