The Sugar Bowl Challenge #40 involves selecting a sketch from the gallery of previous challenge sketches whilst the the Sugar Nellie Forum Challenge #16 is "Blue". Using the sketch from Challenge #19 with the Blue theme I made a Christmas Card as I wanted to use the Sugar Nellie Manga Baubles image.Trying to photograph the combination of glaze, Mirri card & glitter in the sunshine or using flash had me almost going dotty (never mind the Simon Says Stamp Challenge) - I must have taken over 50 photos.
