New image inspiration take 2!

I say 'Take 2' because the DT inspiration posts are spread over two days.
Team B posts on the 20th and Team A posts on 21st. 

In case you haven't seen the new March images, here they are...




All different and all as cute as a button!
Available now in the All Dressed Up Etsy store.

Here's a couple of items I made with some of the images...

A Time To Share
I cut this centre step card on my Silhouette. I also used the Silhouette to place a white border around the image 'A Time To Share'.
(Saves me 'fussy cutting' and mucking it up)! 
I coloured that adorable image with Copics and a Spica pen in the hard to reach areas.
I decoupaged the umbrella in three layers. Don't think this photo picks it up very well.
The image was paper pieced with one of Wendy's lovely digital papers and the floral papers on the card are Wendy's too.
You can see them in the Etsy Shop HERE.
FIVE GORGEOUS PAPERS FOR 75P!!!!BARGAIN!

 We Make A Good Team
LOVE this image!
you can find it HERE. 
I decided to give the 'team' a mish-mash of strip. All odd, all coordinating in a daft kind of way.
I wanted it to look a little like the back street kids having a kick-about with no proper strip but not caring.
I found the football (soccer) paper on Etsy here.
I coloured the image with Copics and sponged the 'sky' with Brilliance 'Sky blue' ink.
(I think my 'grass' needs a little practice, but I'm not unhappy with it).

Hope you like my cards today. 
Please stop by the ADU Blog and see the amazing projects my teamies have created!
Whilst you're there, why not look at our challenge and hopefully, join in.
It would be lovely to have you play along!

Well, I'd better stir myself I suppose.
Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your next visit.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!

A New ADU Challenge!

Hya friends.
I hope all is well in your world.
The weather is nice and pleasant here for a change.
As usual, we didn't get the predicted snow. Bummer!
Anyway, onto the challenge.

As the title says, this challenge theme is ...
'CAS'
(Clean And Simple)

I don't know about you, but I often struggle with CAS, so these challenges help drag me out of my comfort zone.
Well I've been well and truly dragged with THIS one! LOL

I have used Wendy's cute 'Tall Like You' digi.
It's available to purchase HERE, for a measly £1.50! Bargain!
No Copics were murdered in the making of this card.
The blue plain and spotted digital paper is by Pink Petticoat.
I doodled around the edge of the mat and I hand wrote the sentiment, 'coz I'm an idiot.
I forgot to stamp a sentiment before putting the blue layer on dimensionals! DOH!!!
It was nerve-wracking!  I was convinced I'd duff it up. lol
Very CAS and I will use this image again for new baby cards.

Onto the deets!
This challenge will run until the 15th of March.
Head on over to All Dressed up blog to check out the rest of the teams creations, and why not enter the challenge whilst you are there.

Remember! To enter our challenges, you need to use an All Dressed Up image, or paper.
There are free ones on the blog and the ones in the shop are REALLY reasonable for such quality images!

Lastly, don't forget our Facebook group.
To keep up to date with all the latest ADU news, chat and to share all your lovely creations.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Back soon with more projects!
Have a smashing weekend!
I am, 'coz I'm in Derby getting crafty with my pals!

A new Challenge at All Dressed Up!

Here I am, back again.
This time with news of our new challenge at All Dressed Up.

We had a lovely turn out for the  last challenge and it was VERY difficult to choose the winners I can tell you! Thank you so much for all of your beautiful entries, SO much inspiration and talent.

Well the theme this time is....LOVE! You can interpret that any way you like.

You do need an ADU image to play along, but that's no problem.
There are freebies available to make it a doddle to play along with us.

Here's my sample...
The gorgeous image is available HERE.
I coloured the image with Copics and paper pieced the balloons with some
 paper from the Papermania 'Happy Birthday To You' A4 pad. 
The glittery pink paper matt is from a 6x6 ' Papermania Boofle' pad.

I look forward to seeing all the entries for this 'LOVELY' challenge!
Please stop by my fellow DT Sisters and have a look at their gorgeous samples. 
You'll be glad you did!

Have a super Day!!
