Cupid's Heart from All Dressed Up Stamps is a Thank You Card

Our Challenges over at All Dressed Up Stamps are Always Anything Goes, as long as you use an ADU image.  For the Challenge this month, I used Cupid's Heart as a Thank You card.
Coloring her with copics, I tried to keep the shading real soft for a light color.  I used Gold Wink of Stella for the Bow and assorted sequins, facets, and glass beads for color accents.  There is a white sheer ribbon wrapped around the front of the card, ending in a bow.
I finished the inside with a heavy stock of pink hearted paper and a sentiment that comes with the coordinated papers.
You have until October 14th to get your creation in our Challenge so please join and let us ooooh and awwwww over it!   

Christmas Elves from Sherri Baldy!!

 This is one of my latest Christmas cards
using one of Sherri Baldy's latest releases:
Nixie Pixie Img 9, a darling, festive elf in some beautiful Holiday colors.
Colored with copics, I also used some white Flower Soft for the fur pompoms, and iridescent sequins for snow where the image indicated.  I used a Metallic ribbon along with a variety of white toned flowers as an accent in the corner.  It made a great display on top of the lavender and silver scripted Christmas phrases.

On the inside of the card, there's a complimentary Christmas paper and a cardstock sentiment for the Holidays.  I put a silver bling accent on it's corner.

 Hello Ladies!

Wanted to share my latest creation for

 I made a 3/4 card front, which gave me a chance to used the decorative crocheted lace and to show the pretty bird paper peeking out from underneath!  Then I used purple sequins for the flower in the front as well as a vine ribbon for the stems-great find!  On the inside liner, I used the bird paper and used a stamped Sentiment from my stash.  You can find Christines' store here where there are tons of cute images for you to use!  Check it our and come join our Challenge!

 February sure is the time for our thoughts of Love and that's true with The Besties in Sherri Baldy's Store! For the monthly challenge over at Color It Create It Show It Off, I'm using the Image  Talula Twinkle Toes and she can be found HERE.  Pinks are my favorite "go to" colors and I loved dolling her all up with them.  I also added some raspberry sequins around the background, some black paper lace and a dimensional glazed heart embellishment.

Clean and Simple CAS over at Crafting When We Can--Come Play with us!

 Over at Crafting When We Can, the theme this week is CAS--Clean and Simple.  This has got to be the most challenging theme for me because I tend to pile it on a card.  But I must say I really found that I like that "freshness" of using the image that way!  This week over at CWWC, our sponsor is Doodle Digis and this image is 1 of 2 images on the stamp Bea & Tea.
After coloring her up with copics, I fancy cut her and glazed the sunglasses.  I scattered Kraftin' Kimmie's Sparkles in a deep blue and gorgeous turquoise across the page.  Then I put 1 strip of water waves paper across the paper.   On the inside, I used the whole wave paper and used  Happy Birthday stamp-I can always use those!
Come over and play in our Challenge and let us get inspiration from your beautiful projects!

New Release time at All Dressed Up! Perfect ones for Christmas!

November New Release Part 1!!

Hello Dressy Fans :)
Today is new release day at All Dress Up - check out what gorgeous images Wendy has created for you this month!! They are now available in the Etsy Store -}here.  This is the card that I made for the New Release using Party Season:

I instantly thought the image needed some bling, sparkle and great Festive paper to celebrate the Girls!  It was a great chance to create different looks for them-almost like paper dolls & dress-up.  I tilted the card at an angle so that you could see the stickles I used.  I scattered silver and red sequins around as accents-they bring out the random glitter pattern on the red handmade paper layer.  On the inside liner, I used again the Christmas Decorations paper and a wonderful Christmas sentiment.  I sure love getting my Christmas cards done early and these images at All Dressed Up make it so easy to pick some winners to share with your loved ones.

I am sure you will agree that Wendy has produced 4 absolutely gorgeous images this month (As always!) Remember to pop over and buy them from our Etsy store and don't forget we have two challenges running right now - 
Our Blog Challenge
ending on the eve of the 14th 

and our Facebook Challenge 
ending on the last day on the month.

Scrapper's Delights is sponsoring Through the Purple Haze's Monthly Challenge!

At Through the Purple Haze this month, we are being sponsored by Scraper's Delights on our next Any Thing Goes Challenge.  I go the opportunity to do **2** images-the first one is called Cupcake Honey-I just adore her look!  Must be the glasses that interest me so much!  I double matted the Copic Colored image and wrapped the mats with a sheer yellow imprinted ribbon.  I used a bright spring flowered design paper and attached by fav embellishment-Buttons!
There's a Birthday Sentiment inside, matted and on a pretty pink paper.

*****************************
The next image is called Nerissa-Mermaid and is also by Scrapper's Delights.  I couldn't resist doing a little staging with her as she's sort-of laying down.  I had this great boulder paper just purchased so I created like a rocky knoll for her to gaze out from.  I even cut out some random rocks and put a pop dot on the back for dimension.  THEN I used these terriffic high finish sequins in aqua, green and blue from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps so that it would be like water spray shimmering in the sun.  The neat thing I did with Nerissa was create a tail fin and side fins out of green vellum and propped them up with some Zots.
On the inside, I finished off with design paper and a sentiment and accented it with silver sequins.
Hope you like the examples of what our sponsor has waiting for you-come join in the fun month long challenge with us!
