DTBST #126- Hat's Off to You!

It's time for another Dare to be Sassy Thursday challenge!!!  This week, our challenge is "Hat's Off to You"!- to create a card using an image wearing a hat, crown, or bandana.  There are SO many SSD images that wear hats, making it very difficult to decide on which image to use, but in the end, I decided to go with Copper Christi, a recent release from Sassy Studio Designs.  She is one hot cop and she colors up beautifully!

This is a very simple card, but I like the way it came out.   Now, head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what the rest of the DT has created for your inspiration!  And make sure to play along with this week’s challenge.  We want to see all of your SSD images wearing hats!

...and a close-up of Pirate Penny

I used my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities to cut the scalloped square out of black paper then used my paper cutter to cut out the center to make a frame.   All in all, I guess it didn't turn out too badly.  :)

It's Thursday, so that means it's time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge! This week's challenge is to make a Christmas/Holiday card using a sentiment. With it being almost May, it was hard to get into the Christmas "mood" but here is what I came up with using Ellie the Elf from Sassy Studio Designs.

A close up:

As I was coloring her, I remembered watching The Santa Clause movie and seeing that the girl elves "sparkled", so I used a glitter pen on her hair and left it white.
