The second Set are four wonderful little ladies that make up The Little Sassy Crew. Check 'em out- they are the gals that have a sweetness and attitude factor that are off the charts!!! We are also introducing a fun little set of Mixed Media houses called M’s Place that makes them a must have for those that love cute in their Mixed Media.
So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the ride!!! I’m the first stop on the blog hop but if you encounter a hiccup along the way, you can find the complete blog hop list on the store blog, Follow Your Heart!
My first card is featuring one of the FUN new stamps from the Oddly Sweet Curiousities Set #2, Monster Flirts.

Miss Monster Flirts seemed pretty girly to me so I paired her up with my Bo Bunny Little Miss Muffet Collection of papers. I paper pieced her and just colored a few details with my copics. I cut her out using a nestabilities and then masked the image and stamped a background using VersaMark and the Prima stamp sets--Fairy Flora and Butterfly Wishes. Then I dusted over the stamped images with Apple Blossom and Yellow Rose Luminarte Primary Elements Mica Powder.

I added Dies by SCACD- Garden Corners for some added interest. I stamped the sentiment that comes with Monster Flirts on a separate cardstock layer and then used a border punch to allow just the sentiment to be seen. If you can’t read it, it says~ How do I get everything I want? Slow but constant whining.

On the inside I just added a strip of the patterned paper and then I added some of the “punch outs” from the corner dies. To finish the card I added some Kaisercraft pearls and stickles.

The next card features one of the new Little Sassy Crew girls- Little Skullie! How fun is she! Love her attitude!

I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my copics and ShinHan Art Touch Twin markers and cut her out. For her buckles and belt I used my stardust pen. I paired her with Basic Grey PB&J papers. For finishing touches I added a Dies By SCACD- Classic Corner Die, Kaisercraft rhinestones and stickles.

Here’s a little peek at a work in progress using the new M’s Place! Check back soon to see the finished creation!

Now you should hop on to Elaine’s amazing blog!! and don’t forget to head to SCACD to get your new stamps and other goodies you might find there! For our International friends, Quixotic Paperie has these stamps available too!!

The Keys to Her Caged Heart

I’ve been saving my “negative spaces” lately with the intention of playing around with them, some Luminarte products and who knows what else. Well, figured today was as good as day as any to just sit and play and see what happens.

Pretty rare when I don’t have a plan when I sit down to create, so this was a new experience for me. But a fun experience I must say!

I started with a circle negative space and brushed Harvest Sol Silk over it. I waited for it to dry and then used another negative space that fit inside the circle and brushed some Indian Copper mica powder mixed with multi-medium gloss over that (next time I’ll use more contrasting colors). Next I took my Jet Black Archival ink and stamped with the Prima Keys stamp to create a pattern.

Next I cut out my shiny fun circle with nestabilities and then finished my card using Her Caged Heart from Carmen Medlin for SCACD. After I finished my card I thought of a million other things I should’ve/could’ve done--anyone else do that? I have lots of other ideas rolling around for my negative spaces so stay tuned..hehe!

Don’t you just love the latest release from SCACD? The Odds & Ends Sampler by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD. I think all the stamps are just the cutest!
Today I’m playing with Melody. Okay, fess up, how many of you have done this? Grab a brush and sang your heart out! hehe! I *may* have done it a time or two.
I’ve had this Prima Recital stamp for a while and haven’t inked it up but I thought it was the perfect background for Melody.

For my layout I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday this week.
