Sugar Bowl

On the Sugar Bowl blog the challenge this week is this beautiful sketch using buttons. Luckily I had a lovely stash of buttons from a local craft shop and I found this gorgeous lilac button with a slightly crumpled effect. I used colour pencils rather than my whispers pens to get a softer effect on the Sugar Nellie bunny. I just love rabbits so I really enjoyed making the card. The papers are a mix of recycled brown wrapping, laura ashley and terri conrad designs. The flower was from a mixed stash and I used my favourite rich cocoa memento ink to darken the borders of each sheet of paper. I really like the strips of paper on the sketch.
