Looking Gorgeous from All Dressed Up

Today is the start of a new challenge at All Dressed Up blog  and the theme is always anything goes as long as you use an All dressed up image - and there are some beautiful digital images to make lovely cards. For my DT card I have used an image Looking Gorgeous from All Dressed up.
I was asked to make this card for a friend at work to give her sister and thought this image was perfect for a 40th. 

To make this card I used paper (which is Flittered!) from a pad I got in The Range. It doesn't seem to have a name but the make is Deco Time. I mounted this on Black card and then used a Lawn Fawn Cloud die on black card also and glued this behind the image panel. I mounted the image onto the patterned card using chunky 3D foam so it sits high.
I used some Clear gems on the necklace along with some Diamond stickles to add details on the flowers. The 40 are Glittery thickers called Eclair from American Crafts and I used black foam letters from Hobbycraft to spell out sister.

I used these Promarkers & Flexmarkers  -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice, with Baby pink cheeks.
Lips - Antique pink & Baby pink
Hair -  Buttercup, Pineapple Crush & Sleigh Bells
Braid - Aquamarine, Oasis & Island Lagoon.
Leaves - Leaf Green, Grass & Lush Green
Flowers - Gold, Orange & Bright Orange, Magenta, Red Sweater & Antique Pink, Slate, Baby pink & Antique Pink.

All Dressed Up Design Team !!

Well you will never guess what... (I know I've kind of ruined the surprise in my post title but humour me!!) ... Go on ... Try and guess... Yep I was picked to be part of the All Dressed Up design team!!!
I can now post this here as all the new Design Team members have now been unveiled and introduced over at the All Dressed Up Challenge blog. Why not go and see all the other fab creations and talented design team members by clicking on the highlighted link.

You could win your personal choice of 3 All Dressed Up digi images; be selected as one of the Top 3 or be chosen as guest Designer for our next Challenge. 

So without further ado - here is my card. I have used an image called Time for Walkies and you can get this from Funky Kits but you can see lots of other designs in the Esty shop.  I feel really privileged to be part of this team as I think Wendy's images are just gorgeous! (And I got a custom made watermark too! Bonus!)

To make this card I cut  a panel from My Minds Eye - The Sweetest Thing Collection and mounted it onto Navy Bazzill card. I picked this paper as I thought it mirrored the pattern of the knitting on the hat! I then mounted the flowery panel on to some shimmery pale blue card which I had used a Martha Stewart boarder punch to create the edge. I also tied the yellow ribbon around this panel and then hand tied a little bow, which I then glued on.
I used my new Lawn Fawn Stitched edge dies (OOO I love these!!!) to cut the image panel and I used 3d foam to adhere this to the card. I used a Pebbles accent sticker for the greeting and finally added some co-ordinating gems from Doodlebug.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice. Baby Pink cheeks.
Hat & Boots - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Sleigh Bells & Raw Sienna.
