Vicky's Kids

Hello -
today sees our latest release at All Dressed Up stamps. We are so lucky to have so much talent on the design team but Wendy who owns and draws this fab images is so generous that she even tackles our custom requests!! This image called Billy Goat Wendy created after I told her my sister had got some miniture goats and Id love a Goat image I could use for her upcoming birthday card!! Wendy produced this beauty!!!!
How many people can say they got the birthday card image drawn especially with them in mind??

I coloured the image with copics and added some texture fur to the Goat with prismacolour pencils. I die cut the image with a lawn fawn circle die and added a stamped greeting and some foam letters. Finally I added some die cut flowers and a gem.

These are my Sisters goats... they join the two sheep and have recently also been joined with two Donkeys!!

 So thats all from me - have a great weekend,
Liz (:(|)x

Vicky The Viking turns 40.

'Hello - I made this card for my Sister (Older - may I add) who turned 40 on Thursday. My Dad and I would often annoy her when we were younger by repeatedly asking her - " Vicky, were you ever a Viking?" We were very amused by ourselves - She wasn't! That just encouraged us to keep doing it though!! This image just seemed perfect! It is even called Vicky the Viking and is a digi from Saturated Canary. You can find the image by clicking on the links.

Anyone who has visited my blog before - knows I'm not a muted tone kind of girl but this image didn't seem right all bright and colourful so I kept with Purple, blue and grey tones. I also kept the backgrounds quite simple but thought the wood effect paper was really fitting. Ive searched my paper stash and I can't for the life of me find which pad the paper came from!! (Annoying!!) The yellow stripe paper is from My Minds Eye - Miss Caroline and I think the tone matches the colour of her hair and ties it altogether.
The letters and numbers are from Sue Wilson sticker sheet which I've had for ages. The Blue lace is from Do Craft and is self adhesive - which made life so much easier! The multi-tone ribbon was just from my stash...?
As a final touch I added some Iridescent gems to her helmet and around the card which are from Papermania.
