Simply Slick ;o)

Hi everyone, it's me with a little Sunday inspiration! After yesterday's downpour and consequent complete lack of inspiration (I watched "The Big Bang Theory" instead and lazed around...also not a bad way to spend a Saturday!) I put this card together this morning, which is bright and sunny. Funny little thing aren't I ;o)

I used the very slick, sophisticated and sassy

City Girl

and kept things fairly simple with some swirls and flowers. Not too happy about the all-black flowers but they do look better IRL, I promise ;o)

Card Ingredients:

Stamp: Simply Sassy "City Girl"
Paper: Bazzill Basics cardstock black, pink; Maja Design design paper
Embellishments: Pebbles Inc. rub-on text; Kars adhesive pearls
Tools: EK Success Retro Flower punches; QuicKutz Antique Flourish die; Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eighteen
Copics:
E00, E51, E93, E21 (skin, cheeks)
R85, R83, R81 (pinks)
C7, C4, C3, C2 (greys)

That's all from me for now, hope you have a great, sunny Sunday and I'll see you next week!

Hugs,
Erica

Tuesday spotlight..

This tuesday we have one of our brand new sweetie's over at the Sugar Bowl

Fiona

She has made this gorgeous Sassy card for us 

Using Pillow Talk

About me...
My name is Fiona, I am married and have 2 children, 

Michael 19 years old and Holly 13 years old...going on 25 though!! 

I work in the HR department of a large entertainment company and have done for the past almost 12 years.

When did I start making cards...
I have been making cards for around 5 years when my friend introduced me to it as we were both involved with Children and Youth work at that time and that was one of the activities that was planned...so i have been hooked since!!

What is my preferred colouring medium..
I do like to try different things however I love my copics but I am practicing with Distress Inks which I absolutely love but still practicing, I also have promarkers which I use now and again for a change.

Favourite Sassy...
I have to say my favourite Sassy was Hippie Chick, then it was Fashionista and now I think it's Butterfly Girl...but I do love each of them!!

How did I notice Sassy's for the first time...
I have been a follower of The Sugar Bowl from when I first started blogging but I think I first spotted Sassy's for the first time was on Debbi's blog....

Favourite style...
I'm not sure if I have a favourite style as I like a range of different looks but not that I can mange them all but I have to say I like lots of layers, stitching and my punched flowers.

What would i like to see more of on the Sassy blog...
I think the Simply Sassy is fab the way it is, it provides great inspiration to us all and if we have any questions regarding anything that has been posted, whether it's regarding products that have been used or colouring techniques then it's good to know we always get an answer...so well done Sassy ladies!!

I know Fiona would love some sweet comments :)

Pretty in pink!

Good morning Sassy fans! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It's Autumn here with your Monday inspiration as Tracy and I have switched days this week. Today I've decided to use City Girl and our very own Maria Therese's sketch over at the Sugar Bowl. Firstly, my card....

  and here's the sketch...

 I usually have a really difficult time with sketches, but this was super easy to follow and my papers came together really quickly, I was so happy!! 

These pretty papers are mostly Teresa Collins, but there's a touch of Bo Bunny in there too.  I Love this paper pack and am so happy I bought two! I have to admit this was first going to be a rather simple card...would've worked that way too, but I thought to myself it could be so much more as well. So, I pulled out my ever dwindling flowers and got to work. It took me a bit, but I finally came up with something I was happy with and I got to use one of my new Whimsy sentiments,  yay!

Here's a closer view of City Girl. Sorry, I do not have a copic list as she's been colored up for a while. I know with the pink and black she's kind of like a recent post of mine, but I promise I'll try to stay away from the combination for a while:) The edging was done with a cat's eye silver ink pad and then some stickles for exta sparkle. The flowers are from WOC and the die cut was done with my cricut.

Well, I think that about covers everything and hopefully I've done an ok job filling in for Tracy...be sure to stop by on Wednesday for her post this week. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
