It's been a while since I coloured an All Dressed Up image and thought I would support the lovely Lucy in her new permanent post over there. So, as promised Lucy here is my entry...
...and the cuddle is for you too!!
I also challenged myself to have a stab at a bit of "my style" shabbiness for a change and if duffing up the edges of the paper, adding pearls and seam binding hit the mark then, by jove, I think I've nailed it!! (Comments and suggestions are welcome here!!!). I coloured her with SN pencils and blending solution and the final touch was an LOTV stamped sentiment which I cut out and mounted with foam pads on to a sadly neglected MFT die cut doily. Ooh and I blended milled lavender DI around the edges of everything.

I do like "duffing up" Sarah, distressing will never be the same again as I shall think of that every time.
Sweet card and duffing up.
Have a good weekend.

Well done for pushing yourself into a style you don't do regularly, I must admit I don't venture unless pushed!
Love the colours though I think Max would object if I tied a purple bow on his collar! :)
Fabulous shabby chic, adorable image and lovely colours
Your card is fantastic and I LOVE that sentiment! The thought of cuddling with a wonderful furry baby buddy just makes everything better!!
hugs,

Good morning Sarah, love your stunning card. Great image, beautifully coloured.
I am not into Shabby but it's good to get out of our comfort zones now and again.
I like your "gentle" shabbiness, just my style as well.
Have a great day

Gorgeous Sarah! Love that sweet image and your distressed (ahem, duffed up) edges are fab! I think you've nailed the shabby chic here. Gorgeous card hun. Hugs, Wends x
Hi Sarah
Stranger alert!!!
Lots of lovely creations on your blog .. .. I have been well overdue a catch up .. .. sorry.
You have been posting some lovely makes.
Loving your distressed look. It is funny how we try new things and then suddenly they can become the norm. I wonder if it will for you because you certainly look to have a knack for it.
Your take on Kitty's card fold was brilliant too. I hope you email a picture to the magazine for them to see .. .. they would love it too I am sure.
Life has been super busy wedding wise and left me with hardly any time for blog posting and visiting. But thank you for your visits and comments - I do appreciate them.
Hope you are having a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Wow, so beautiful Sarah!! I love the strips of pink paper in the background and the pearls is such a wonderful way to highlight your sweet image! hugs :)

This is delightfully shabby, Sarah. I struggle it that word... still haven't figured out how to put it on a card! But you've done an awesome job.
