Shake Shake Shake

Hey there. Just a quick post today.

After looking at the many shaker cards taking the crafty world by storm, I finally decided to take the plunge and give it a try.

My first attempt actually turned into two cards. Look:

I made these cards for my coworkers, and now that they've received them, I can share here with everyone. Both cards feature Sushi Dolls stamp "One & Owl". She's coloured with Touch Twin markers.

So here's the blondie I made for my girl, "A":

Sketch Saturday with France Sassy

While surfing the 'net this week, I came across a sketch challenge being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and thought I'd play along. I've had France Honey coloured up for a few weeks but have yet to put her on a card. Sketch Saturday #281 gave me the perfect opportunity to do so.

Here's the sketch:

And here's what I created:

I used some of the patterned papers from Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods that I received in my last Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I was pretty happy they worked so well with my little Sassy. (I tend to colour without having specific papers in mind.) France Honey was coloured with Touch Twin Brush markers and cut out with Oval Nestabilities. The  sentiment is an old rubon from my stash.

This is the first Sassy I've turned into a card. It's my absolute favourite of the ones I've coloured so far. I'm hopeful that I'll be sharing some more very soon.

For all you Touch Twin users, here are the marker colours:

Supplies Used:
stamps: France Sassy digi
cardstock: a|s sugar, a|s french roast, Crafter's Companion Ultra Premium White
paper: Lawn Fawn Into the Woods
ink: Touch Twin Brush Markers
other: Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, Wplus9 Banner Trio dies, Martha Stewart heart punch, glossy accents

Hugs and Kisses.

SOG September 2013 Sketch

I found a little time to colour the adorable Big Pressie Tia and create a card for a friend's granddaughter.

My starting point for the layout was the Some Odd Girl sketch for September. I used some EP Hello Summer papers to cover a white card base, cut some a|s sugar cardstock with a Spellbinders Labels 8 die and spritzed it with a|s Splash ink in lemon whip. The sentiment was stamped on a Wplus9 banner die cut. Tia was trimmed out, covered in Versamark ink, and embossed with a half & half mix of clear embossing powder and Prisma glitter.

Sharing my colour combos for all the Touch Twin users out there:

Supplies Used
stamps: SOG Big Pressie Tia, PTI  Fillable Frames 4
ink: touch twin alcohol markers, versafine onyx black, a|s lemon whip splash, versamark
cardstock: Crafter's Companion White, a|s sugar
other: Spellbinders labels 8 die, Wplus9 banner trio dies, Ranger super fine detail clear embossing powder, Prisma glitter

Hugs and Kisses.
