We're getting BEACHY over at All Dressed Up!

It's time for the New Release over at All Dressed Up Stamps and you can tell I want to be at the Beach!  The image I used is called "Bucket and Spade" and I think she's adorable!

This is only my second SLIMLINE card and I think I'm getting the hand of it~ after cutting my white base, I added this summery paper that already had the "washed, painted look" on both ends.  Perfect background!  I colored her with copics and then used 2 scenery stamps from KKS to make the Palm Trees, Sunshine, clouds and waves of sand-also the Sunny Days stamp.  I was a stamping fool on this one but it gave me a chance to try the technique of masking the image so I could stamp over it!
Before I stuck the image down, I wrapped turquoise and white bakers' twine around twice and added 2 charms, a seashell and sunglasses.

On the inside, I finished the card with the same background paper and used a flip flop stamp and sentiment to complete the card.  There are a total of 4 New Release image from our artist, Wendy Burns, so make sure you visit the ADU site to check out the other ones.  You'll fall in Love!

All Dressed Up is Sunning on the Beach with ATG Challenge New Releases!

Welcome back to a brand new challenge.  We had some fabulous entries last month, so check back on the 29th-our winner and top three as chosen by our DT will be announced!

As always the theme for our Blog Challenge is-

Anything Goes

but you must use an All Dressed Up Image.

Not got any?  There are some gorgeous freebies -} here. 

But please respect the rules!  Or you can buy any of Wendy's fab images from the All Dressed Up store-} here. 

We will randomly pick a winner to receive 3 images of your choice, and our DT will chose their top 3 creations. 

For this challenge, I used Summer Fun from the ADU store.  Would so love some time to just sit back in a Sling chair on the beach and soak up the sun-just like this image that the talented Wendy Burns drew up!  A bright orange sundress and a cheery turquoise chair sets the scene on the "sandy" beach--compliments of sand Flower soft.  To Achieve the Frothy waves, I used the chunky white embossing Frantage- it also helped hide the white edge of the sandy outcrop.  It's definitely a layered piece-first started with the cloud paper, then the fancy cut wave paper, then the image.  I colored her with copics and stamped a KKS sentiment on the front.  Then on the inside a great wave paper and another stamp with a Get Well Greeting.    

We do hope you will find the time to play along - You have until the evening of August 14th to enter your creations using the links.     

It's time to go to the Beach at Crafting When We Can!!

 What a FUN image this was to color-Thank you Doodle Digistamps!  This image is one-half of the Bea & Tea stamp and made me think of my granddaughter who is on Spring Break now!  The card was created for Crafting When We Can Challenge which can be found here.
After coloring her up with a tan and sunburn (looks kind of pale in the picture tho) I added some water paper, beach themed design paper and fancy cut an embossed sunshine and elevated it with dimensional pop dots.  The stamp on the front and the inside is from KKS.
The inside liner has the design paper reversed-looks like water waves and has glittered bubbles in waves also.  Just love how it all came together.  Come over and play with us at the Challenge-we would LOVE to see your projects!!
