Sassy Studio Designs New Release Silver and Gold Blog hop!

It's new release day over at Sassy Studios!!!

I was lucky enough to get the gorgeous image 'Dont Open till Christmas' image to play with for my creation, along with the 'Under the Christmas Tree' background. I've used gold stickles on the christmas tree lights and on Sassy's earring :)

I coloured with a mixture of Copics and Promarkers, I loved working on this as I don't often colour such a large image for my cards but this made a nice change :)

Papers: Dovecraft

Glitter card, Gems and Ribbon: from stash

This is the hop order! Chris is next on your list!

Anniversary Card with Lili of the Valley

Morning all! This is a card I made with a topper from one of the new Lili of the Valley sketch pads, they are a fab way to make a card when you are short on time!

All I've done is put some purple shimmery mulberry paper behind the image, stamped a LOTV circular sentiment and added some ribbon and pearls.

This was really quick and really effective!
