Snow Queen Sassy Twisted Easel card

Sassy Studio Design is sponsoring the challenge at Outlawz and the challenge theme is twisted easel card. I'm using Snow Queen Sassy for my little card and a tutorial by Splitcoast Stampers.

I printed the image out onto Strathmore watercolor paper and colored her in with distress inks mixed with water and Perfect Pearls. Her cape is colored in with Stardust powdered chalk mixed with white acrylic paint, both by Stamp N Plus. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink and an ink blending tool.

The shape of the card is another die cut by Spellbinders using Bazzill turquoise cardstock and then the white cardstock is by Recollections. The Happy Birthday is a sticker but I don't have a manufacturer listed anywhere on the sticker pack, sorry. {I think I bought it at the outlet store for Notions which is in Grand Rapids-20 minutes south of where I live, and stuff that is there to purchase sometimes has damaged packaging and therefore they put it out for a discounted price.} The blue glittery snowflakes are die cuts using my Cricut and then applying Martha Stewart blue glitter to them. The snowflake brads are by Oriental Trading Co and they are fuzzy to the touch.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Studio Designs Release Day

Today is the day for the June release at Sassy Studio Designs. This month also marks the 6th year anniversary for SSD and so we have a large blog hop for you to participate in for prizes and later on tonight there will be a live chat you can be a part of.

I made my card with the new zodiac images and this one is Cancer which is right now, June 21 - July 22. It's a little risque but kind of fun at the same time. I printed her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic Markers. The background papers are by Basic Grey and the seam is covered by ribbon from Ben Franklin's.

A little while back Cricut Craft Room had a free cut of the week and it featured all the zodiac signs and names. I took advantage of it and cut out the sentiment and the red shadow with both white and red cardstock by Recollections. The crab was also part of the freebie and the cardstock is also by Recollections. The star-like pieces are covered with Stickles by Ranger and I made the eyes black with Clearsnap's Smooch ink. I did run the two layers of the crab through my Cuttlebug with a Provo Craft embossing folder.

My card size is bigger than I usually make them. It is size 4 x 7 with the thicker cardstock by The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby.

So leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win this cancer image as well as the other design team blogs for a chance to win their image. The complete release will be awarded to one person that comments on all the blogs.
