Happy Birthday Card used for All Dressed Up June NEW RELEASE! More Gorgeous Images!

It is again time to see what new beauties Wendy from All Dressed Up has created for us, and you won't be disappointed.  These new images are just perfect for the Summer and Father's Day!

They are now available in the Etsy Store -}here

 
 



For My New Release, I'm using the image called New Hair Do. Her clean lines are just beautiful and allows you to use a busier design paper or additional embellishments...or both!  After coloring her with copics on a die cut oval, I added assorted pink flowers over top a beaded ribbon.  Am so excited to finally be able to use this ribbon-card HAD to be pink and black!  They dangle!  On the inside, another p&b paper with a stamped image.  Just love how she came together!

As always the theme for our ADU Blog Challenge is -

Bugaboo sponsors Come and Get It for an ATG Challenge & Prizes!

 This week over at Come and Get It Challenge, we are so happy to share images from Bugaboo!  Our challenges are always ATG so you all can participate and share your creations! 
I always think of rain slickers being yellow and you'd wear red boots so that's how I colored it with Copics.  I also used some glossy accents on the rain puddles on the umbrella and under his feet.  They look so wet-it's great!  I had the perfect paper for the card-these dancing umbrellas that even have a little glitter on some of their edges.  Then on the reverse side of the paper was the phrase "rain rain go away..." which I used for the split front.  Grosgrain ribbon was glued on the seam for an accent color.  I used a metal shaped sentiment that a friend gave me in a swap and then I used some Bling Teardrops as raindrops.

JUNE Guest Designer at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps-SO Excited! Theme this week is DIE CUTS!

I'm so thrilled to be asked to be the June Guest Designer for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  I LOVE all of her stamps, whether in rubber or clear acrylic.  And she has so many interesting Designers that contribute their work to her site!  The one I'm using as my introduction to the monthly Team is from the Let's Dish The Dirt Set, artist is Cheryl Alger.
Because I drew sunflower type flowers in the cart I used a complimentary paper for the square card.  This dp is reversible so I pulled up the corner in the front and secured it with my rolled flowers (there's my Die Cuts).  The sentiments that you see are also from this retired set.  On the inside liner, I HOPE that you see that I was trying to make it look like he was playing in the dirt with my distressing.  This stamped phrase is from another set from KKS--I use them everywhere.

New Challenge over at Color It Create It Show It Off--ATG--Sherri Baldy! 2 Winners!!

 For many many years, I sewed for my family and saved money but, more importantly, had fun making creations -fabric art!
This cutie, Img 831 from Sherri Baldy, is a favorite of mine for those reasons ( I nicknamed her Button Gal).  As a member of my Fav Design Team at Color It Create It Show It Off, we are so lucky to get to use these unique images!
We are announcing the CICISIO Challenge today and you can join in this ATG event here.  We can't wait to see your creations and have a chance to WIN some prizes!
To keep with the Sewing "theme" of the image, I used stitches "rub-ons" around the edges of the image and the fun flap.  After coloring her with copics, I attached 2 loops of a satin measuring tape ribbon and added small shaped buttons to bring out the pretty lavenders on the card.  The sentiment is from KKS and suits the card perfectly!  On the inside liner,I repeated the black embossed dotted paper and chose another sentiment from KKS.  LOL I've got JUST the friend to send this to!

Star Stampz sponsors us at Crafting When We Can! Come on Over!

 This week we were given a challenge on the Crafting While We Can DT team of working with 3 "colors":  Black, White, and 1 Color---I chose YELLOW.  You can figure out why I picked yellow--It's the FIREFLIES <<grins>>, and that's the name of this image by Star Stampz.  She's always been a great Sponsor for us-neat images, so check out her Etsy site.
Instead of just leaving the background white, I chose several shades of grays and black to create the night sky, her dress, the ground and grass, and her hair.  Then to make the Fireflies stand out more, I used Copic FYG1 and they just glow!  I LOVE macro dot papers so found one that was appropriate to use and mounted that to a cheery textured yellow/white polkadot paper.  I used a sentiment from KKS stamped with white ink on black cardstock and topped off with yellow epoxy dots.  The black and white narrow checked ribbon is a pretty accent, don't you think?  On the inside I used the yellow dotted paper to brighten it and a rubber stamp from my stash with "Best Wishes".  We would love to have you join us over at Crafting When We Can-great opportunity to get a prize!  We'll be looking for you!

 

Come and Get It Challenge is ATG ! Our sponsor is Knitty Kitty-how exciting!

This week at Come and Get It Challenge, we are showing off our Embossing Talents!  Of course, it's an Always Anything Goes Challenge so there's no reason you can't just join in the fun!  Our Sponsor is Knitty Kitty and this image is called Deep Sea Diver.  It is such a FUN image with so many options!  I have been saving this fantastic green/blue swirl paper that reminds me of the papers you used to make with the oil floating on top of water.  Perfect for sea water?  After coloring up the diver with Copics, it was on to Embossing.  I'm a Frantage nut so that was my solution.  I think you can

see it along "the sea floor" around his Flippers.  I used Aged Teal Frantage, a mixture of golds and teal embossing enamel.  I continued it up into the water area and mixed it among the seaweed, fish and bubbles.  I put a mask over the diving helmet the kitty's using and eventually coated it with Glossy Accents.  I used a small bubble die cut  next to the triple matted image and then used some gifted branchies in browns, spring green and mint green in a cluster, with a string bow and accented with a pewter sea shell.  On the inside, I used the reverse of the green water paper which was anchors.  The sentiment stamp is from KKS and a great sentiment to give a guy--hummm maybe at Father's Day! 
So I hope we will see you at our Challenge so that you can inspire us with your creations!
