All Dressed Up New Releases--Stars and Back

February 2019 New Release!

Hello Dressy Fans

Have you missed the new releases? Well they are back this month and they were certainly worth the wait!!! They are gorgeous images and here is my creation called Stars and Back From All Dressed Up 

I colored the image with Copics, split the card background with complimentary dp.  The mesh type ribbon for the seam is sparkly with glitter, I added a metal word-Smile- and then accented that with some lavender wired gems-This was a great find in the bridal section of HL!  On the inside I used some Chevron paper that was a perfect color match!  I've been using some cardstock sentiments lately and think I found the perfect one!

At All Dressed Up, every month there are at least 4 new releases and then there's our month long Challenge which starts on the 15th of the month.  The images used must be an ADU one.  We would love for you to show us your creations and win! 

Lacy Sunshine is celebrating "Arabian Nights" this month-come join in the FUN!

I wanted to try something different this week with an image from Lacy Sunshine's monthly theme of "Arabian Nights", Bahie found here.  Typically, you find these images depicting veils and sheer, filmy material swirling around right?  Well, I created her with a twist, using a close up instead of the full body view that I did earlier this month AND you can see that my gold glitter was calling to me!  I think it makes her look exotic!
I used a deep patterned paper and sheer ribbon and jewels to accent her beauty.  Also used some stickles to accent her jewels and chains.  On the inside you can see a better view of the design paper with a special note stamped on the double sided paper.
Be sure to check out the wonderful site of Lacy Sunshine:  to shop in the store, to see the blog challenge she has every 2 weeks, to see what the Design Team and Creative Team has developed for the week.  We'd love to see you there and joining in the fun!

Delicious Doodles Sponsors Seems a Little Sketchy-Show me...Christmas Cards!!

I know , I know we need to fully enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday before Christmas is upon us...you see, it snowed today...and that led to me playing Christmas music..which led to Christmas Cards, and before I knew it-I was in deep.
This sketch this week at Seems a Little Sketchy just lends itself to a beautiful card!  I'm using an image from our great sponsor, Delicious Doodles, called Christmas Lantern.  I've tilted the sketch a bit but love the way it came together!  This crackle paper from The Paper Studio is a great Holiday paper-I've used it both on the outside and inside.  The candle has gold stickles on it and I used red stickles on the berries.  With the red faceted bling, it really pops.  Join us at SALS for the 2 week challenge-Delicious Doodles will be awarding the winner a choice of 4 free images!
