Friendship Image from Polkadoodles-Winnie~Missed You So Much

 After the year we all had in 2020, this great image from Polkadoodles just about says it all.  I know I just crave hugs and really letting people know how much they mean to me!  This great digital stamp is called Winnie- Missed You So Much!  It can be found in their store here. 

 

 I used Copic Sketch markers on this stamp and here's the list of them:

 

Copics used:

Skin Tone: R000,00,01,02, RV10

Yellows: Y00,Y11,Y13,Y32,Y26,Y21,Y26

Green:  G12

Blues: B34,B32,B52

Purples:  BV000, 00, 01,02,04

Browns:  E23, E53, E55, E59, E57, E11, W3

Gelly Roll 10, Posca White

After using a Mod Stitched rectangular Die to cut the image, I matted it with a subtle green cardstock.  Taking a lavender seam binding tape that I had crumpled up, I tied a bow for an accent.  I Stamped the sentiment in a lavender ink and added some clear micro seed beads to the center of some of the flowers on the design paper.  It's elevated up on Pop-Dots.

I always finish the insides of my cards with color-coordinated paper.  With this card, I added a sentiment block from a scrapbook page and now have a great card to send to a friend!  

BE SURE to check out the Polkadoodles Store, especially on Tuesdays!  That's when they have many or all their items on a discounted sale!  It's well worth the visit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tree Dress Avery from Paper Nest Dolls

 I've thought that maybe by making some winter/Christmas cards that this Heat will leave Illinois and take the humidity with it!  Thank goodness for FANS!
This image is from Paper Nest Dolls and is called Tree Dress Avery.  I don't know about you ladies out there but I find Purple a very hard color to show in photos?  The background of this card has Winter/Christmas sentiments all over it in a soft lavender color.  Then a shimmery pink cardstock as a mat behind the image.  Then the snowy scene--I used white chunky Frantage- love it for snow!  For the inside, I finished it with some gorgeous design paper, done in unusual colors for Christmas - love these ornaments!  Found a sentiment from my stash and added a white sheer ribbon for a bow and I'm done -ready to send it off!  Come join in on our Challenges-we'd love to see your work!!

The Little Angel announces the new Challenge at All Dressed Up--ATG 's w/ ADU image!

Hiya Dressy's 

Welcome back to a brand new challenge.

As always the theme for our Blog Challenge is -

Anything Goes 

but you must use a 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. 

Now what could be easier than that?  

We will randomly pick a winner to receive 3 images of your choice, and our DT will chose their top 3 creations.  We will invite one of these winners back as a guest DT for our next challenge. 
I chose to use the image called "Little Angel" and I thought it was perfect for this time of year.  The front is covered with a deeply embossed silver and white paper, then it has a blue speckled paper on the second layer (reminds me of snow), that layer is wrapped with an organza ribbon and bow-I sewed 2 silver snowflakes under the bow.  The Angel is colored with copics and I've put Star Dust Stickles on the wings and the top edge of the angel's sleeves.  On the inside, it's the snowflake paper again with a great Christmas sentiment from KKS-they're always perfect!
 We do hope you will find the time to play along - You have until the evening of the 14th to enter your creations using the link at the bottom of the challenge page.
