Seasonal Changes at All Dressed Up Digital Stamps! New Release!

 

 This is my card using Falling Leaves for the New Release at All Dressed Up Digital Stamps.  For the first time a piece of fall printed vellum "fell" on my card blank and I decided to use it! Magical... I have several printed vellum in my stash through the years but never thought to use them as background...duh! 

 I also used Glossy Accents on the leaves swirling around, fussy cut.  Some Wooden leaves glued to some hemp twine and a stamp from my stash.  On the inside I used more leaf paper and a great Fall Banner from a paper pack

Wendy Burns our in house Artist has created some super Fall images for the start of Fall. Look through her shop where you will find loads of wonderful images for all seasons.

Time on the Beach with "Sea Shells" from All Dressed Up Digital Stamps

Summer is about over so I'm creating a card using "Sea Shells" from All Dressed Up!

I wanted to try a technique that I haven't used in a long time--Paper Piecing!  I did double stamping, once on my white cardstock and once on a design print  floral paper. It really makes you concentrate on how to cut out your paper, behind the hair, around the shoulder of the dress, over her legs.  Sometimes frustrating, but always rewarding.

  I used a mask to cover the b&w stamp up so that I could get the sky and sand colored in.  Then I pieced all the layers together, and under the hat I also used dimensional dots for depth.  I used copics for my shading on the DP.  I used some squiggly paper that reminded me of swirls in the water and then mounted the sentiment on foam tape.
