FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD with SASSY STUDIOS DT

Hi everyone,

I am here today to tell you about the super new launch at Sassy Studios  
This is being celebrated with a Blog Hop.    So if you have come from Jacki's Blog at http://www.papermoments.blogspot.com  then all well and good, you are on the right track, if not then you need to go to the start here:    http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/  and start from the beginning.  Do leave a comment on each Blog and join in the fun.   When you reach my Blog here you should then go on to the next port of call which is Kim's Blog here:    http://itsallaboutcrafting.blogspot.com/  and then when you reach the end please do pop back and put a comment on the main Blog where you started.  

I have often followed hops but have never been involved in one so this is a first for me. 

So, onto my card:

I was allocated this lovely image created by Sassy Studios which was inspired from 'The Tin Man' from 'The Wizard of Oz'  So we have Sassy Tin.  There is a  fun Challenge which is a Tic Tac Toe, and a fabulous one too.



So, onto my card.  Well The Tin man didn't have a heart.  Aw he didn't have a heart!  Well I just had to add hearts to this card.  Actually I googled the story to refresh my memory, I had forgotten about the heart so it was a blessing that I did.  Shhhhh don't tell anyone but I loved reading about it! lol  So for thye Tic Tac Toe  I have got the red and yellow, the ribbon, charms and flowers, oh and the brick road too.  Now the Hot air balloon took off before I could photograph the card, and do you know what, that little monkey flew right after it, it was a cheeky little monkey! leaving me high and dry! Haha.  I know I only needed three items, but just humour me, I loved making this card.  And I love this theme.  There are a lovely selelction of new images to be had so do take a look.

Die-cuts:  Tim Holts
Punched Hearts 
Sassy Tin image coloured with Copics, Stickles and Glossy Accents added.
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Livfe and Love Crafts
Heart charms, lace, ribbon and ribbon pins purchased locally

GDT for WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

Morning everyone

I am here today feeling very honoured to be sharing my card I made as Guest Designer for the lovely Challenge at The Whimsy Stamps Inspiration challenge

There is a fabulous theme, which I just loved working to. The  theme is 'Pretty in Pink''.  How lovely is that!

I was so lucky, I got to choose this lovely Whimsy image called 'Little Geek'which is available in the Whimsy shop in digi.  I have  coloured her with Copics.  Well, she is not a pretty image, and the theme is 'Pretty in Pink' so I have prettied the card up to fit the theme.  So my Pretty in Pink is the card and not the image.  But isn't she gorgeous!  I opted for dusky pink too rather than a pretty pink as I felt it ws more fitting.

I opted to make another shaped card again. (No surprises there! lol)  this time it is a double easel card made from a five inch and four inch square pieced together.
