Sassy Studio Designs The Joy of Giving Release

Welcome to Sassy Studio Designs The Joy of Giving Release!  Lindsay has drawn some beautiful holiday images for this month's release, and they are now available in the online store for use on your holiday projects!  We'll even help get you started with a challenge!

 

The challenge is VINTAGE OR SHABBY CHIC...

 The definition of vintage is:

Too old to be considered modern, but not old enough to be considered antique.  Can also be a euphemism for "heavily used" items.  Retro, recently out of style with potential to make a comeback

The definition of shabby chic is:
 
The use of used, worn, or inexpensive components to make stylish goods.  Something that's rather worn out/tattered yet has a touch of understated class.

Head over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see the fabulous creations from the design team and to play along in the challenge.  Three participants, selected at random, will each win one image from the release, and one lucky entrant will receive all five new holiday images!  Also if you leave a comment on the SSD blog, you'll be entered for a chance to win one images from the new release!

The image I was assigned is called All Wrapped Up.  I love shabby chic!  I find it... romantic and enchanting. So that was the style I chose to work with for my project.  I bought a fabulous white mini shadow box by 7 Gypsies at Michaels for the occasion!  My image is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers then fussy cut.  I backed the shadow box with some papers from my Fancypants- Winterland paper pad, adding lace trim, tulle rosettes, pearls, punched snowflakes, a Tim Holtz muse token that reads "Christmas" and his metal corners.

It was a fun and easy project and I may just have to make more!  These would make fantastic home decor gifts for the holidays and will work with a variety of images!  

I have a busy week of shopping, baking, crafting, and decorating ahead of me!  In between the full-time job and my small man, of course!  But this will be the case from now until New Year so I'd better get used to it!  'Tis the season!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, R24, R27, R29, BG10, E79, E37, E23) and Prismacolor Art Markers (169, 198).
