Challenge #187

Our Challenge Theme

this week is:

One For The Ladies

So we need to see :

Anything for the Ladies/Mums/Sister/Special Friend/Fiancee etc.
It doesn't have to be a Mother's Day Card ....

We have some wonderful prizes

for you from our Sponsors

Our First Sponsor is: All Dressed Up

who are offering

2 Images from Store

Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children
who have been the inspiration behind the characters,
in particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends.
I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.
I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based,
I love to retain that hand drawn /sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.
Digital Stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team has been very exciting,
in particular the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers.
All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping.
The coordinators Anne Lise and Bettina along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.
We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies.
The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis.

We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations
so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog.

You can't help but love the Oddities at the Oddball Art Co. by Lizzy Love.

She lives and breathes everything art.
She is a raw vegan for both health and ethical reasons.
She loves animals and has a little zoo herself with 4 cats and a dog.

The artist behind The East Wind digital images is known as Unky LaStrange.
Unky makes her home in British Columbia, Canada with her wonderful daughter, Aurora,
the love of her life and source of mush inspiration.
She has been creating art since she was a child always allowing it to reflect her interests,
humour, and love of all that is quirky.
Her unique images run the gamut from the darkly humorous
and sometimes creepy through the world of fashion-forward Lucy Loo
to the sweet Aurora and Baby Aurora where life and people are good and beautiful.
There are images to suit every taste, occasion, or whim at The East Wind.
