Down on the Farm with All Dressed Up New Release

Wow, It's already time to Welcome Spring into our lives and for this New Release over at All Dressed Up, I got to use "Spring Lamb" on my card!!  Since we live out in the country, I always get so excited to use an image I can relate to.  The original image includes the country girl perched on a wooden fence with a Lamb and Chicken in the pasture.

The rest of the "scene" was created using a combination of several stamps from my stash and lots of copic coloring. I also cut out some chickens from some Graphic 45 paper for dimension.

 On the inside (I always complete the inside with coordinating paper) I used the chicken paper along with a special sentiment block.

I hope you like it as well as I do!!!  Be sure to check out the ADU Shop with all the wonderful images and enter our Monthly Challenge coming up on the 15th--you might win some free images with your creation!  We'd love to get inspired by you!  Thanks for looking!

Happy Fall Y'all and it's time for Pumpkins at All Dressed Up!

It's almost time for Hayrides, bonfires, beautiful leaves falling down in our yards....AND, the NEW RELEASE from All Dressed Up Stamps!

My creation is called Little Pumpkin and I LOVED coloring her up!  You see, my husband and I grow pumpkins over the summer on our little Farm and we have them for sale on our front yard in the country.  So this is a perfect image for my Fall card.  

I used a Ginko leaf stencil for the background, free-handed some green hills and used Fall colors throughout.  I turned her into a Birthday card as you will see in the inside.  Please check out the other seasonal designs in the Shoppe and Happy Fall Y'all!

I had such fun making this adorable image.  Throughout this month being a Guest Designer at Kimmie's Kave I've re-acquainted myself with the Stamping world.  Mostly I work in digis for my images but can say I had a lot of fun using the ones from Kimmie.  This week's challenge is to use Circles!  This card was just full of fun features-This is the image Lulu's Wheels from this month's new release and I just had to put her on the road using a free lance road with lane dividers.  I used the green "circles" known as polka dots lol for the grassy land next to the road, used a die cut that had a tree inside a frame (I fancy cut out the frame) for some greenery, added another KKS sentiment and some great cloud paper.  It seemed the perfect stamp to use to wave goodbye/so long to my new friends here at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and thank you for all the help learning the posting ropes on your site and the encouragement I received.  You're a great group of ladies.

I just love Eleanor and Pickles images so am so pleased to use the Eleanor-Dorothy image (Dorothy as in the Wizard of Oz).  It has a great "Country" feel to it-also, I used some
Straw/Hay design paper to paper piece the hay bales. I added a die cut tree and then added branches.  BUT the Image is the Showcase of the card.  So much fun to color her with Copics and make it so dimensional!  I kept the country feel in the inside with the matching gingham colors and fresh greens.  It'll make a great Birthday card!
NOW, on to the rest of the Creative Team's creations-Please remember to leave some love as you travel through the Blog Hop and you could win some fabulous prizes!
