Love and Romance

Good morning and a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you all.

I'm here with my first challenge of the year with the Polkadoodles challenge blog, and that challenge is Love and Romance and here is my make.

 I have used the beautiful Belle Papillon collection to make this card. I used a paper, a sentiment in a frame, a few butterflies, a frame and the flowers embellie. I fussy cut the embellies and sentiment out and mounted them on to 3D foam.I matted to paper onto black card and spit it into two to add a bit of extra interest and there you have it.

Not a card for Mum.

Good morning and happy

Today over at the Digi Choosday blog the team were challenged to make something for Mothers day that wasn't a card, and here is what I made.

It does look like a card from the front but it isn't it is a wooden standing plaque. I got this in the sale somewhere for 50p and kept it for altering and upcycling into something better. Firstly I painted it with white gesso to give it a base and to cover the wording that was on it. Then I used the script stamp for the Belle Papillon stamp set and stamped all around the edges. Then I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles collection, inked around the edges and glued in place. I stamped out some foliage and the bird and butterflies from the Belle Papillon stamp set, and then die cut them with their coordinating dies. I then used the fence from the Winnie collection and watercoloured it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi pains and mounted on 3D foam. I glued the rest of the embellies in place. Then I coloured up the new Primrose digi stamp and mounted her onto 3D foam and place her on the plaque. Finally I used the sentiment from the stamp set and stamped direct on to the paper.

This shows how all of Polkadoodles collections can be used together, whether they be stamps, dies or digital download images and collections.

More than one image

Good morning and Happy

It's time for another challenge from us at the Digi Choosday blog. The challenge is of course Anything Goes for you, but the team were challenged to use more than one image, and here is my make.

To make this I used the Belle Papillon Big Kahuna collection. I used some of the papers to cover the MDF basket and used a copper gilding polish around the edges. I then printed out 7 images from the collection and used a distress ink around the edges before gluing them in place. I then used the Flower Flourish Die, and the flowers out of the Bubbleicious Frame die set, to added some interest on the front.

Use a Die

Good morning everyone. Today I'm here with my challenge from the Polkadoodles blog. The challenge for you is Anything goes but the team were challenge to use a die on our makes for this challenge.

For this card I have used the paper pad from the Bella Papillon crafting kit. You can also buy the paper on it's own HERE. I have then stamped the flower from the Bella Fleur craft kit. You can also buy the stamp set on it's own HERE. I have then cut out a frame using the Elegant Nest set of 3 dies. I used the same die to cut out the flower and trimmed it down to size. I then added a bow and some flourish die cuts behind it.

Something New

Good morning everyone. Today I'm here with my first challenge of the year from the Polkadoodles blog. The challenge for you is Anything goes but the team were challenge to use something new on our makes for this challenge.

So I used some of the fab new products that I have from Polkadoodles. For starters I used the paper pad and foliage dies from the Belle Papillon collection. I distressed the edges of the paper and then added some copper gilding polish. I also added some of the polish to all the die cuts. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the middle die in the Elegant Nesting set of 3 dies. I finally added some flowers from my stash.
