Stampin' In Alaska

Hello!  Hope you are having a great weekend.  It was a beautiful, sunny and warm day here in Anchorage. I wanted to share a little card with you that I created today for the Sassy Cheryl Challenge - Thinkin' Pink.   I colored the adorable " Sassy Sally Triple Layer Cake " and combined it with a fun sentiment from Paulette at Create with TLC. I am adding to my Birthday card stash lately!  This was pretty easy.... colored the image with Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.  The sentiment was printed and die cut with Spellbinder Wonky Rectangles.  The card base was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug circles folder. I'm also sharing this with the Sassy Cheryl Show Me challenge for this week.  If you have never played along you should check the BLOG and join the fun!  It's super easy and you might win a Free image from Cheryl's shop. Did you know that Cheryl has a new shop?!  " Just being Sally.... " is featuring Sas...

I'm running a little late this week with my Sassy Cheryl Challenge card.  This week's challenge is to create a Birthday themed project.  Who doesn't need an extra birthday card in their stash?! I combined Cheryl's " Sassy Sally Triple Layer Cake " image with this fun word art from TLC.  I colored with Copic Markers and cut it out with Spellbinder dies for a quick birthday card! Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look!

This week's challenge over on the Sassy Cheryl Challenge Blog was to use our favorite color combo.  Well, I had a really hard time with an exact combo and decided to use a mix of muted hues that I like.  I also stepped out of my comfort zone this week and used an apron template with this " Sassy Sally Triple Layer Cake " image. I started by printing my Sassy Cheryl image and an apron template from Paper Smooches. I traced the template onto designer paper from the October Afternoon "Fly a Kite" paper pad.  I machine stitched around the base and "pocket". I added rick rack to the pocket and as the apron neckband.  I printed out a fun birthday sentiment from Sentiments 4 You blog and it's ready to mail!  I can even slide money or a gift card into the "pocket" on the front. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  I'm also submitting this as this week's " Show Me " challenge over on Cheryl's blog.
