Hey there all your Sassy Fans, are you ready for some more inspiration(I hope)! Boy, I really gotta give kudos to all you girls out there that work outside the home and have families and are still able to pump out beautiful creations probably in less time than I do, lol. I literally worked on this card all day. Well, inbetween dealing with my sick DD and the the other three hooligans who are home from school due to weather.
Did you all check out that fantastic tutorial done by Zoe?? Awesome, hun, thanks so much for sharing with us! Ok, well , I suppose you're wanting to see a card already, so I'll get on with it. Here is...
....' Spread Your Wings', isn't she a beauty!! I think I say that about all of them, lol! Thought I'd do the close-up first. She is colored with copics and you'll find those at the bottom of the post. The inking on the edges is also copics...can't believe out of all the ink pads and distress ink pads I couldn't find just the right color, Uggghhhh, but this worked and I think it turned out ok. I should also note there was lots and lots of blending on this one. On with the show!
If you all follow Sugar Nellie on Facebook you know that they recently started up a challenge there, so I thought I'd make a card to enter it. This weeks challenge is Side Step cards and mine is actually called a Double Side Step card and after some searching I found a tutorial here, though I changed the measurements a bit....don't you love artistic freedom!!
My card has a little twist....
...the decorative top is actually a tag! I'm really quite proud of myself for this one, lol. I love the tags on everybody's creations, but I never use them, just doesn't seem right, but this one just fell into place and I'm quite happy about it. Plus I actually used my Cricut, the poor thing doesn't get used nearly as much as it should! I also used the Cricut to cut out the butterflies and the decorative bits around the girl.
Here's another view so you can see the dimension a little bit. I've actually curved the spot for the sentiment, I think you can see it better here. The darn thing kept moving(don't wanna make it perm. until I have a sentiment) while I was taking pics. Oh' I almost forgot these gorgeous papers are from g.c.d Ella Blue stack.
It's really a beautiful card, Autumn!
