Blog Hop and New Release at SSD

It's the weekend, and here's wishing you a great one!  Now, it's time for a blog hop at Sassy Studio Designs, where you will get to view some amazing DT creations using the new release.  I'm the guest designer for the month of August, and it's been loads of fun playing with these new images!


Today, I've used the White Queen, but as you can see I have added some purple!  I've coloured with Prismacolor pencils and OMS, and this time used chalk for the background.  Cut and layered with my Nestie die, I then embossed and inked a background layer.  The raised border on the card blank was made using my Score-pal.  This was a nice easy card to make and has quite an elegant look.

So sit back and relax as you follow along on the hop.....and be sure to leave a comment at each stop for your chance to win!  There are two Sassy images up for grabs!

Here is the blog hop order:
Kathy
Sara
Julie
Joyce GDT (that's me)
Regan
Rebecca

And now some challenges for my card:
Challenge up Your Life - #50 no patterned paper
Paper Crafting Journey - #17 Anything Goes
Craft Us Crazy - #15 Anything Goes
Crafty Sentiments - No Sentiment
Allsorts Challenge - #117 You've Been Framed
