Recycle it!

It's nearly the weekend and I hope you have a great one. Todays post is for the Polkadoodles challenge blog, and this week we set the new challenge of Recycle it. I've done a few of those word picture for people lately and I take the mount out as I don't use it. So I have a few of these mounts and so thought I would use one of those.

I started by going around the outside with a black marker and then adding a piece of pink card. I then printed out some papers from the Pretty Sweet CD and used the pink one on the mount and the blue one to cut a border and place on the mount. I then coloured in the sweet Amelia Braids image using my Graph'It Markers. I cut out a fence from a Marriane die to sit Amelia on, and the bird house and bird. I then cut out the flowers from the left over papers and layered them up with some leaves and swirls which are all from Tattered Lace.

Christmas fun

Good morning everyone. I'm here today with some mid challenge inspiration for Polkadoodles. The challenge which started last week is "Christmas Fun" and here is my make.

I was challenged to make a Christmas card without using anything from any of the Christmas collections. At first I thought how the heck am I going to do that? Then I thought of this paper from the Pretty Sweet Collection, and thought if I glittered it it would look Christmasy and I think it does. (You can't really tell on the photo). The image is also from the Pretty Sweet Collection or is availalbe as an instant download here and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. I made rolled roses from the same papers, and added some Tattered Lace Christmas dies.

Polka Doodles challenge week 10

The challenge over at Polka Doodles this week is distressing.
For my card I have used an image from the Pretty Sweet CD and papers from the Studio 12 Picknix CD collection 1. I have used sepia tone ProMarkers to colour the image, and a Tim Holtz distress ink pad to age all the papers. I have made a little tag and stamped it with a sentiment from the Stampin Up Vintage Verses stamp set. I've cut some matching flowers using a Marrianne die, and finally added some faux stitching.

Polka Doodles

Good morning all. I hope everyone is managing to keep warm during this horrid weather.

I've got some exciting news to share with you all. You know I'm a massive fan of Polka Doodles products, which I'm sure you can tell by all the cards I make using their products, well, I am now a part of the amazing desgin team for them! I was soooo happy to be asked to be part of the team, I just hope I can do them justice!

So this is my first challenge card as part of the fabulous team.
The challenge is: Make a Christmas card and add Kraft.

The image and papers are from the Pretty Sweet CD. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. The flowers are handmade using the same papers. The frame around the image is the waste from the Marianne D Creatables - Designer Doily die. The silver flower is also from the same die. I've used some craft card and embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then added glitter.
