Simply Sassy Competition - 2 Entries

Phew, it looks like I'm going to make the deadline of Sugar Nellie's wonderful Simply Sassy competition, where you have the chance to win a place on the Simply Sassy DT AND a Spellbinder Grand Caliber !!  Looked a bit unlikely as the postie only managed to get in to our estate yesterday, thankfully WITH my Simply Sassy (early Christmas pressies) stamps.

Round one of the competition is to create a card using only White on White (WOW), in order to show your colouring technique.  I've really enjoyed this restriction as it appeals to my (normally) clean and simple style.  It's also meant that I've tried a few different colour combos for the actual image.  

Bella Bunting immediately caught my eye and, due to the competition deadline looming, I decided it was best to perfect my colouring of this one image, rather than colouring all 3 of my new characters! 

So, the first has been coloured with Promarkers and layered on to Cuttlebug embossed hearts and rafia lace.  Just a couple of white flowers and a sentiment finish it off.

Hair: Cocoa, Caramel, Sandstone, Satin
Skin: Almond, Pastel Pink, Blush
Outfit: Honeycomb, Saffron, Vanilla
Banner: Leaf Green, Meadow Green

I decided to try blond hair and blue eyes for this attempt and, I'm pleased to say, it worked.  (It's great having eyes that can be coloured - perfect for personalising.)  I used the Tea Green and red colour combo again as I loved in for my Angel Wishes card.  As you can see, all of the edges have been edged with Stardust Stickles and a larger card blank makes it look even more CAS.

Hair: Sandstone, Buttercup, Primrose
Skin: Almond, Blush, Vanilla
Outfit and banner: Tea Green, Duck Egg Blue, Poppy, Burgundy

Well, here it goes, time to publish the post and link to the competition...fingers crossed!
