A Little Sassy

Here's one to let everyone know that you are a team player, as long as they follow your lead. At times, there is no other way, so why not make them smile a bit. Thoughts?

   A Little Snarky by Sweet 'n Sassy

   Sassy Laugh Lines by Art Impressions

Paper:

   Pumpkin Pie A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 2-3/4 x 3/4

   Masterfully Made DSP 1-3/4 x 5-1/4

   Color Me Irresistible SDSP 2-1/4 x 5-1/4

   Melon Mambo Strip 5-1/4 x 1/8

Ink:

   Pecan Pie

Watercolor Pencils:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Blending Brush

   Coloring - Watercolor

   Fussy Cutting

Accessories:

   Blending Brush

   Blender Pen

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the young female image.  I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and used watercolor pencils to color her. I then went over the image with a blender pen to blend the color and remove any harsh lines. Lastly, I fussy cut around her and set her aside.

I then took the panel of Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP and added Pecan Pie ink, using a blending brush. This specialty paper has an embossed-resist wooden pattern to it. So, after adding color, I wiped it down with a paper towel and removed the ink from the embossed lines. 

Next, I adhered this panel onto a Basic White panel aligning the left edge as well as the top and bottom. 

I then added the Masterfully Made DSP panel on the right side, aligning the right edge along with the top and bottom.

Next, I added the 1/8" strip of Melon Mambo on top of the seam to conceal it.

I then adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Pumpkin Pie card front.

Next, I attached the young female image on the left side of the card, using dimensionals.

I then stamped a sentiment on the strip of Basic White, and adhered it below the image, but aligning the left edge with the edge of the embossed panel.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Lovely Birthday

You know I enjoy stamping when everything on my card has been discontinued. This means that the only way for me to profit is to sell this card, or send it to someone myself. Of course, I do need to earn what I have already spent for these products. What about you? Do you mostly stamp for pleasure or money or both?

First, I stamped the sentiment on the top right-hand corner of a Basic White panel, using Lovely Lipstick ink.
