"Sweet Meets Sassy Collection #2" Release Day at SCACD!!

Good morning and welcome to release day at SCACD!! First of all, I must apologize as yesterday I had posted that we were having a blog hop today...I completely forgot that we're changing things up a bit for this release, and trying something a little different! Today, the final three images in the Sweet Meets Sassy Collection #2 are being revealed over on the store blog Follow Your Heart by:

Suzanne

Colleen

Anki

The exclusive Sweet Meets Sassy Collection #2 was illustrated by artist Victoria Case for SCACD. It actually includes two separate sets, "The Retro Crew" and "Heart and Hugs The Fun Collection". (when purchased as complete sets, you will receive a bonus sentiment stamp!)

A few other member of the design team decided to make an extra card to celebrate today's release...including me. My card today features the adorable new stamp named "LOL"...she's part of the "Hearts and Hugs" set. This is such a cute image, and so perfect for today's generation of youth...well, actually it's not just the youth who are permanently attached to their electronic devices!! You can't get through a day without seeing someone texting or emailing...remember the days when we didn't all need to be accessible 24/7?? Makes me feel old, lol. But we all adapt right? Quite honestly, I rely on texting and emailing more often than actual telephone calls anymore, as it is usually more convenient...and yes, I'm completely guilty of adopting the short forms used in this method of communication as well. :) See...I even do the sideways smiley face!! The patterned papers are Basic Grey (Olivia)...the red panel is a scrap of MME paper. The flourishes were cut with Spellbinders Doodle Parts. The pearls were created with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Ice White. I did up the sentiment on my computer and chose a font that looked like typewriter print. It was matted on a Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio.



"LOL" was stamped on Neenah cardstock in Memento Ink and coloured with Copic markers. I added some Stardust Stickles to her slippers...just because all girls need a little "glam". :) The image was cut out with some oval Spellbinders. I sponged around the image and sentiment with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.
