Scrapalicious: Simply Sassy Release Blog Hop!

Saturday, 26 February 2011

Simply Sassy Release Blog Hop!

It is time for another Simply Sassy Blog Hop, as today sees the release of set 5, which is (if that is at all possible) even more gorgeous than the previous sets! Now, if you've come from Autumn's blog then you're on the right track! If you haven't or if you're just joining us, please head to the Simply Sassy Inspiration Blog to start the hop ;o)

I'm so excited to be able to introduce you to Hippie Love, one of the wonderful new characters in the latest release of gorgeous Simply Sassy stamps! If I had to pick a favourite, which luckily I don't because who can choose right ;o), then it would have to be this chickie. She's a joy to colour and her lovely, friendly, smiling face will be sure to brighten the day of whomever receives this card, I'm sure!

I have (once again, I know...) used Maja Designs papers, my trusty EK Success Retro Flower punches (very apt here I thought :D) and some cork, QuicKutz dies and a Martha Stewart punch. The corners of the image were stamped with a Stempelglede stamp and some distress ink, and I totally ruined the shading on the bottom but managed to salvage it pretty well I think, just don't enlarge this picture ;o).

The Copics I used are: E00, E51, E93, E21 (skin, cheeks, lips); E44, E43, E42 (hair); V95, V93, V91 (cardigan, shoes, hearts); E43, E42 (trousers, top sleeves, shading); YG63 (eyes, flowers); YG63, G21 (top, hearts)

Okay, onto the important stuff: for this blog hop I get to give away TWO surprise Simply Sassy stamps to one lucky winner! All you have to do to be in with a chance to win is:

Leave a comment under this post, you have until 12.00 noon GMT (CET -1 hr) on Monday 28 February to do so!

I will pick a winner from all the comments and post the winner's name in my blog at 19.00 hrs that evening, so be sure to check back then!

Please leave a comment at all the stops along the way as all the DT members have stamps to give away!

The order of the hop is:
Kathrin
Anita
Tracy
Kellie
Autumn
Erica
Maria
Simply Sassy Inspiration Blog

You can buy the Simply Sassy stamps from Funky Kits

Next up on the blog hop is Maria, so hop on over and see what amazing creation she has in store for you! Have a great Sassy day ;o)!

Hugs,
Erica

Leuke kaart heb je gemaakt, de stempel vind ik echt schattig en heb haar nog niet eerder in deze hop gezien.

Paula (PEP) said...: The use of that cork heart with the lilacs is lovely & I do love those Retro Flower punches which as you say are very very apt in this instance. I love the softness with which you have coloured her & that little touch of blue in the flowery paper just catches the eye. The Stempelglede stamp is a lovely addition & I do like that stictching which picks up the cork colour so well. I do like the subtlety of your sentiment.
