I'm back with my sixth Simply Sassy card. You can now purchase these little beauties
HERE. I've thoroughly enjoyed playing with all these images and I still can't decide which one is my favourite.
I've kept it very simple using MME So Sophie DP, two flowers and a few pearls. She coloured with distress inks. Do you like her tinted 'Reactolite Rapide' glasses? Very clever huh? Ha! I coloured her eyes perfectly, then I wanted to make the glasses glossy like real glasses. I tend to get in such a mess with Glossy accents and the like, so I used a clear Sakura glaze pen and added a few layers to get some depth.
All looked fine until it had completely dried when I realised the glaze pen had mixed with the DI's making the whites of her eyes very creamy coloured Grrrrrrrr!
My hubby is now back from his travels along with all his dirty clothes, thank you darling! He's had the most wonderful time away and will definitely go back to the Isle of Skye. I've seen some of his photos and I must say that the scenery is breathtaking.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xx
Ooooh Elaine she is gorgeous hun, and just love how you coloured her hair!. I know you hate hair, but you have done a fabulous job and the layout is spot on too. Glad hubby is back safe and well, even though he has loads of washing lol!. Got my Sassy girls today, but cannot play till wed, my day off, so spent the evening mounting them on E-Z Mount grrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening, and I did leave a comment wink! :o)

oh this is another stunner and i so can't wait to get some of this and whats more when i do you have spoilt me with all of the inspiration from your blog so thankyou xx
ReplyDeleteLove the way your colouring of her folder picks up on the maroon paper - or is it the other way about & those socks are a delight with the striped papers. That reminds me of my reactolites - actually yours look very authentic & just the sort of thing Miss Nose-In-A-Book would wear.
ReplyDeleteTake care with that washing....
Much love

Another stunner Elaine!! Your colouring is really brilliant, maybe one day I'll get to your level (fingers crossed). You've done a really fab job with these new Sassy girls. Luv them all. Glad hubby's home safely barr the washing grrrr. Lotsa luv xxxxx

Love the blue glasses and the way you colored her clothing and hair is outstanding! You always do such a wonderful job and you make me happy that I can call you friend. Glad your husband is home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautifully colored, especially the hair, it looks great. I can't even tell the eyes got smeary from the pen, but I do hate when that happens! Wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteDarn...now I have another favorite because of you. This is stunning and love the yummy colors. Cute little posey. She looks a lot like I did in high school and I may sure my eyes looked a bit creamy! Ha...I like the look!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Elaine!!

Hi Elaine
ReplyDeletelove your card, and I think the tinted reactolite rapide glasses just add charm to the image. Also love the papers.
I'm glad that hubby has returned from his travels (lucky thing). I bet the Isle of Sky is fantastic at this time of year. I hope you are going to share some of his wonderful photo's with us.
