Tuesday Spotlight with Elaine

For this weeks spotlight I  have Elaine.

She is one of the Sweeties over at The Sugar Bowl and 

former design team member at Sugar Nellie
And it's her coloring of Hippie Chick on the blog badge in the sidebar ;) 

So be sure to stop by her blog for even more Simply Sassy inspiration.

Elaine made this gorgeous card for us

Using Bella bunting 

Start by telling us a little about you:
I live in Lancashire with my husband and our teenage son. I work as office manager for an Air Conditioning company. I like the job but unfortunately it doesn't leave me with much spare time for crafting!


When did you start card making and what made you start?
I started dabbling about 5 years ago, but very sporadically. I really got hooked Christmas 2008 when my Dad bought me a lovely pile of rubber from Sugar Nellie which started my Sugar Addiction! I started card making after I saw someone demonstrating on a shopping channel and I remember saying to my hubby that it was a hobby I could try and I was sure it wouldn't cost much...ha!

What is your preferred colouring medium?
Definitely Distress Inks. I started off with Polychromo pencils until my Sugar Mama Gayle suggested I try the DI's since I already had them. I saw a fab tutorial on Jacqui's blog (Cats Whiskers) and I found I loved colouring with them.

What is your favourite Simply Sassy stamp?
I love all the Sassy stamps but if I really had to pick a favourite it would be either Bella Bunting or Fashionista.

How did you notice Simply Sassy stamps for the first time?
They were my first DT stamps from my brief but wonderful time on the Sugar Nellie DT.

What's your favourite style of card?
My style is very simple! I have boxes and boxes of embellishments but I still prefer to keep my cards simple and I hope the image remains the main focal point.

What would you love to see more of on the Simply Sassy blog?
Tutorials.

Sugar Bowl 51 - Simply Sassy style

Have you been over to the Sugar Bowl looking at the new sketch ??

This week it was Kiki's sketch we used.. 

Here's my Sugar Bowl card:

The image I used is Simply Sassy - Party Frills  

I as always colored with Copic markers and used Prisma color pencils for shadowing.

The papers is a Swedish producer Maja Design.

The pearl edge on the scallop nestie is liquid pearl.

The sentiment is printed out from my computer and the font is Junko's Tupewriter.
