The Sugar Bowl Challenge 49 is s a sketch by Marla-Therese with the optional theme of Snowflakes whilst the All Things Sugar Nellie Forum Challenge this week is RED & WHITE. I chose to make another Fancy Fold Stepper based on this tutorial but this time I worked out my own measurements using inches (click on photo to enlarge). To colour my image I used the “Bleeding Inkpad” technique where the image is stamped using water soluble ink (in my case Distress Ink) & then shading added by applying a damp brush to the stamped lines. I gave further definition to the coat buttons by colouring them with a Sakura Stardust Pen followed by Glossy Accents applied with a cocktail stick.

Beautiful card PEP, love the image. I must give this a go instead of sticking to my black outline and colouring in. Good luck with the challenges. -x-
Paula - you have done another wonderful job with these images. I do like your coloring on this one - it sort of looks like a watercolor. Thanks for the info on the cuts for the step card - will have to try that.
Paula this is such a fabulous card! I have never seen the "bleeding ink" technique it looks fabulous and I love all the snowflakes! I love the metallic card too I really need to get some and give it a try!
Hugs,t
Beautiful card Paula!! Thank you for joining us at the Sugar Bowl!!
Wow, I've never heard of this technique before. I really like the way it looks. It has a very soft feathery feel to it. I LOVE the red. I bet you have all kinds of fun in your studio. :)
