A Springtime creation for the All Dressed Up CHALLENGE--ATG

Hi there!  It's Carolyn bringing you a Springtime card from the great All Dressed Up Shop!  This card is for the ADU CHALLENGE where you could win some free images from this great company--But you can't WIN unless you enter.  It runs for a month-from the 15th of the month to the 14th of the next month.  Plenty of Time!!

I'm using a recent image called Piggy Back--the image comes with the the featured young lady and the 2 mushrooms at her feet.  I think I went crazy adding in the flowers, grass, and pebbles at her feet, as well as the sky using copic markers.

I double matted her picture, added a pink and white heavy daisy ribbon along the side and softened it with a sheer pink bow.  For a little bling,
I added 3 pink epoxy dots at the top.

I always finish off the insides of my cards so here is a look at that:

There's lots of room to write a personal message.

Thanks for looking-I'd love for you to start following me on my Blog.  I'm on several DTs and hope to inspire you with my creations!

REMINDER of our Challenge over at Create It Color It Show It Off!

Over at Color It Create It Show It Off, we still have a Challenge going on for YOU to enter!  Such great Prizes are offered!  One of the few Challenges around that still give our images to the winners.
This digital image is from Sherri Baldy Stamps and is Img 0118- isn't she just too cute!!??  I particularly love the Mushroom in the flower cluster on her hat!  She's colored in copics and seemed to ooze "Country".  So, I used gingham, distressed khaki dots, and a strip of burlap along with a orange dotted mat to make her right at home.  I think the special yellow button is a great accent.  On the card inside, I repeated the khaki dots and used sentiments both outside and inside from KKS. 
We wanted to let you know that it's not too late to join our challenge.  We are always inspired seeing other peoples' creations and can't wait to see YOURS!

Woodland Enchantress posting at Lacy Sunshine Stamps

I've been playing with a great image called Champion Woodland Enchantress from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  I so enjoyed all her "nature" features what with the mushroom, spores, moss, and butterflies.
Now anyone that knows me...I'm a Libra...knows that I like to have everything balanced.  So it was a stretch to angle the finished image and then do the opposite with the design paper from Graphic 45 underneath.  But I do love it!  I placed this cutie on to of a stone wall as she just looked like she should sit on something!  Then I added some multi-colored Flower soft in the Spring line.  Take a look at the background paper-it's a heavy patterned handmade paper in a beautiful loden green.  Loved using it! On the inside we have offset papers again with a Get well Sentiment-can always use those!!  Hope you like and thanks for visiting.

Lacy Sunshine-Anything goes Challenge-Christmas in July

I know that you all have heard of Christmas in July events--gotta think of someway to beat the heat right?  Well, Team A from the Lacy Sunshine Creative Team wants to welcome you to the bi-weekly challenge!  We are featuring the Whimsical group of images created by Heather Valentin called Briar Whimsies...they live in the woodlands among the fairies and mushrooms.  On rare occasions it snows in the forest so, you might see some snow!
The image I'm using is Mushi Whimsie Christmas and she's using her mushrooms as Christmas Trees.  She's very decorative herself in her Christmas Red and white "fur" trimmed outfit.  There was a lot of Flower Soft flying around my craft room.  Of course, there are ornaments hanging from the "Trees" and the festive red mushrooms are topped with the snow that fell in her picture.  I felt like she needed to be on a forest dirt floor among all the other trees on the design paper--some of them are glossy embossed and glittery.  On the inside of the card is the coordinating paper that matches with both verses on the paper as well as a wonderful sentiment from my stash.
Please come and join us for a delightful Christmas in July with Lacy Sunshine-We can't wait to see your creations and get inspired!
