Sugar Nellie Forum #22 & Sugar Bowl #43 - Sugar Nellie Entangled A Little Hug

The weekly Sugar Nellie Forum Challenge on Paper Craft Planet involves using more than one Sugar Nellie stamp so I literally entangled Kathy Hare with Leanne Ellis or put another way: used Leanne Ellis's "A Little Hug" to wrap around Kathy Hare's "Entangled". I used  the Sugar Bowl Challenge #43 sketch by Judy with the optional theme of including buttons (using some of my "gems with two holes" which I previously concluded are really  jewelled buttons) & the colours from two photo inspirations (Passion For ProMarkers & Fab 'n' Funky). "Entangled" was masked after stamping so I could stamp over her with "A Little Hug" to form the frame. The card can be used for a number of occasions as there is no sentiment - 'Thank You', 'Birthday' or 'Just A Note' cards being those that are often needed.
