ALL DRESSED UP



Hello Everyone...

Another lovely day..nice quiet workload with very happy folk..I think they are happy as their caregiver is happy..lol..

So onto my card to share with you and it is using a free image from All Dressed Up called Ballerina Abi
 But with a difference...I turned her into a Christmas card...



Not hard to do really...just coloured her in Christmas colours..just wanted to see if it worked.



Bobbi is coloured with copics on her clothes and Faber Castell pencils  on her skin and hair.

As I have no Frantage and no idea where to get it from over here..I loaded on the glue around the edges and used thick white glitter...sort of works.



The side view...and although I have hidden the papers they were Coture Creations "Jolly Christmas"..

I have gone very lime green this year with the red..not sure what that was all abou,t but I like it.

Added a folded ribbon with a sparkly poinsettia in the centre and a few snowflakes..

Going to enter these challenges...

All Dressed Up   [anything goes]

Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas challenge   # 203 [Go green colours or/ recycle]

That's it for today...the afternoon is getting on and off to do the tea rounds soon..

"My Lady" is still going strong [ 96] and we were talking today [several times..lol..over and over.] about how long I have been with her..6 years today...she said it was just like yesterday...what was Yesterday?..[Sunday was my reply]..well, what a day is today [Monday]..well, when did you start here...6 years ago..6 YEARS AGO!!..SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY...and so it goes on..love her to bits.

See you tomorrow..

luv CHRISSYxx

Lol love the conversations with your Lady Chrissy!! Makes me smile every time. Loving this gorgeous card. I have that image and never used it, shame on me. I love how you created your own frantage too. Might have to give that a go!!

Unknown said...

Totally works, she's adorable and I love the imitation frantage. :) You're so creative! xx

Pia S said...

The way you colored her makes her perfect for a Christmas card. I feel I haven't enough Christmas images to choose from, but if I rummage through my stamps I'm sure I could find images that would work, by doing what you did here. Thanks for the inspiration!
