CAS Hippy Chick....what a challenge

This is my second post for this afternoon so please scroll down to see another cute card from moi!!

Well what a shock I got when I looked at The Sugar Bowl Challenge today - CAS!!!!????!!!  How can I make  Simply Sassy clean and simple - well I had to have a go at this and hey presto I did it!!  I was SO tempted to use one of my new Krista digis but then suddenly realised that they do not count as they 're NOT SN images - doh!!  Must remember that again for the future - so used to associating her with SN stamps I suppose.

Of all the Simply Sassy's I think I like this one the best - reminds me of myself when I was in my late teens - was a bit of a hippy myself but was never as pretty as she is I have to add.....

Ingredients:~
Kraft card that I embossed with Papermania folder;
Hippy Chick rubber stamp from Simply Sassy at Funky Kits;
PMs ~ Blush, Oatmeal, Pastel Pink, Cinnamon, Caramel, Pear Green, Moss, Lilac, Lavender, Amethyst, Tulip Yellow, Ivory, Mustard, Vanilla and FM Light Fawn to outline;
Matting card is Co Ordinations and
Sentiment Computer Generated.


I am entering this into the following challenges:~
Charisma Cardz Embossing;
The Sugar Bowl C&S + sketch (wow that was so hard to do girls but challenging as it should be);
Moving Along with the Times Vintage;
Cute Card Thursday Sorry and
The Play Date Cafe No 104 Mauve, Egg Yolk and Artichoke - (fab colour combo girls).

Thanks once again for visiting and do come back again very soon.

Vintage Hippy Chick

I hope wherever you are that you have the glorious weather that we are having today - if not here is some sunshine and warmth for you..............catch it?  Enjoy!

My cad for today I am not entirely happy with - I tried out the cracked glass technique to the letter but something has not gone right I know.

I have followed the sketch for The Sugar Bowl and also the Autumn Theme, and also it fits in with The Sarah Hurley Vintage Theme too.

Ingredients:~
Hippy Chick rubber stamp from Funky Kits;
DPs from stash, distressed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen and scissors;
PMs ~ Blush, Oatmeal, Pastel Pink, Dusky Pink, Vanilla, Sandstone, Caramel, Cinnamon, Shale, Spice, Coral, Honeycomb, Pumpkin and Peach;
UTEE and heat gun;
Flowers and twine from stash.

I know I am crap at taking the pics but I am so disappointed with the result - suppose it IS only my first attempt at this technique so will practice make perfect? - hope so! Doesn't help that I am feeling a bit low today despite getting a massive gift in the post from a very special buddy of mine- have pain in my kidney area but can't see doc for few days.  Not in any pain while passing water just back pain so drinking lots of water and cranberry juice to see if that helps ease it a bit.

Happy crafting folks :)X
