Simply Sassys

Its a new challenge over at the Dutchdare Card Challenge and the theme this time is For Mum ... we have had Mothering Sunday here, and its been my Mum's birthday, so I have made a couple of cards using my Mum's taste in cards ... lots of white and not alot of embellies ...

Having spent a couple of days colouring up some images (and loosing one even though I know I had it as it is on my WOYWW photo!!) I thought I better get some onto cards .. nice and simple cards as my wrist hurts when I craft :(
 So here are a couple of the Sugar Nellie Sassys' I have been playing with ...

I love Butterflies and Pigtails, doesn't she have such a sweet, innocent look!  As she is quite a big image I decided to go for a very minimal look .. .then added ribbon, flowers and butterflies!!!!  I coloured her using my distress inks, and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, gingham ribbon from the loacl market and the punch is a Craft Tonic one.  I am entering this into the Wild Orchid Challenge, which is white, and two colours, and roses, and Charisma Cardz challenge, April Showers, May flowers.

 Carnival ballon is another of the latest Sassys .. Karen really does have an eye for cute, adorable images.  I coloured her in using my promarkers and again kept everything quite clean and simple.  I embossed a couple of peices of white cardstock, punched some flowers and added pearls to the centre.  I used a peice of netting from my garlic to add the knot to the flower.
