Fancy Dressers - New Release

Hello all! I'm back with one of my creations using the NEW RELEASE Fancy Dressers Collection 1 & 2 by Kate Hadfield Designs.

This collection is full of kids in costumes and it was difficult to choose which images to use first, so I used three to create birthday cards.

Copic markers were used to color the images and as you can see, I ventured out of my comfort zone to create a shaker card using Fancy Dressers 2 as well as the Happily Ever After collection. 

The collections have colored illustrations as well as stamps for those who want to color the images themselves. 

Make sure to check out the Gallery for some inspiration from our members and fabulous Design Team.

It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Knockouts!  Our theme for this challenge is "For the Kids".

Our sponsor for this challenge is our very own Kelly and the lucky winner will receive a surprise package from Close to My Heart, valued at $25!

I chose to work with Rainbow is my Favorite Color stamp set.  I purcahsed this kit from Simon Says Stamp when it was the Stamp of the Month and it came with matching dies, paper, inks, and embellies.

Inspiration for this card came from Simon's design team.  I used my no-name brand slimline card template then started stamping and coloring with Copic markers.  The clouds were attached to the card with pop-dots for some dimension.  

As with most of us, it has been a while since we've been able to see family and friends so I made this card for my niece.  We used to have girl sleepovers but haven't had a chance to do that in almost 2 years and I really miss her. 

Make sure you check out the amazingly creative creations from our Design Team then it's your turn to start creating!

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Knockouts next challenge is Anything Goes!   

Our sponsor for this challenge is LeAnn's World 101 and the lucky winner will receive two images of their choice! 

The image I chose to work with for my slimline card is Game Boy.  I started off by coloring with Copic markers then took to fussy cutting all those nooks and crannies. 

 I decided to try out my new stencil, Rays of Light by Creative Expressions.  I used Distress Oxide Inks (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door, Seedless Preserves), then sprayed some shimmer spritz all over.

I added pop-dots to the back of the image and placed it in the centre of the card.  The sentiment was computer generated, cut out and attached with pop-dots.

I wasn't too sure how this card was going to turn out but once I added the sentiments it took on a whole new look which I really like.  Thanks so much for stopping by and look forward to seeing your creations.
