Good Morning Sunshine

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge this week is "Bling In The Sun With a Sassy Cheryl Image".  The first image that came into mind was to use the Sassy Cheryl Personal Use stamp for my card.  I have used her many times before making her pop out of cakes and sunflowers, but this time it didn't work.  I tried cutting the face and upper torso in a circle, I tried fussy cutting the upper torso.  Nothing looked right.  So I decided to use a smaller Sassy and put the whole body out in front of a super duper sun (Ecco Park Paper Co, A Perfect Summer, 6x6 pad).  Wallah, the final results that soothed the inner turmoil in my demented crafters mind.  LOL.

Now to decorate the card and provide some balance.  I went to my LSS, Scrapbooks By The Sea and prowled the aisles looking for ideas for the sentiment.  I wanted to do a banner and I found these shaped pieces of mini  burlap by  "Canvas Home Accents".  I anchored one to the card with some coordinating bakers twine, typed up the sentiment and printed on regular printer paper.  I liked the look of fabric the paper made.  to "bling" it up. I found this delicious blingy flower and popped on the canvas for a shabby-chic look.  Finished the bottom off with a EK Success edge punch and called it complete.

This is my last time to enter the Sassy Cheryl Challenges for awhile.  I am so excited to announce that I have been chosen to be on their DT for the next 3 months. Next week I will post as a designer. So be sure and check back to see what my first DT card looks like.
