Simply Sassy's Skater Girl, Tracy Style

Morning Peeps,

Can't believe it's Monday already. Was great to meet up with some teamies yesterday at Stamperama and great to finally meet Teresa from Crafts and Me and her lovely family, waving to Denny, Krista and Paul. You should have all slept well, lol.

Todays card for the Simply Sassy Blog HERE, is Skater Girl Tracy Style. I say Tracy Style as this Skater Girl card is designed by me, it wouldn't be me if I missed out the embellishments and girly flowers, lol. What do you think?

I have coloured her using copic markers:-

R85, R83, R81, R00

E13, E11, E00, R20

E25, E31, E50

The background is Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet.  I think she still looks pretty cool.

This is mini Skater Girl.  I stamped her out onto shrink plastic and coloured her to match the main image and attached her using a chain to make the charm.

New Release at Whimsey Stamps

Morning Peeps,

Hope your enjoying your weekend, I have scheduled this post as I am attending the Stamperama Show today and I know a few of you out there will be out spending those pennies too!

Now onto today's card. I was contacted a few weeks ago by Denise from Whimsey Stamps and asked to be a guest designer for the new release stamps, well I didn't have to think for long...........lol, of course I said yes. I have chosen by Kenny K in Rubber, yes real Rubber!  She is called Vicki Lee Vicious and is available from Whimsey Stamps HERE.

Doesn't she rock!

I have coloured her with copics and I airbrushed the background, yes airbrushed, my first project.  Just loving it.

The papers are DCWV sent by my friend Vix along with the Black Magic Coredinations.  Fabulous cardstock.  I have distressed it to bring the blue through.  The looping brads I have had for a few years, bought them and never used them and  this seemed the ideal project to bring them out.

The skull is grunge card, painted with acrylic paint and edged with walnut stain distress ink.

I did add glossy accents to the guitar  so it's nice and shiny, which doesn't show up to well on this photo so I may try and take another when I get home today.

I have entered this card into the following challenges:-

Little Claires - Anything Goes

Catch the Bug - Anything Goes

EtsyInspired - Inspired by Vintage Glamour Studs amongst other
