I have used the fabulous free image from Emma Canning which is coloured with the Ltd Edition Winter ProMarkers. The papers are from the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD which I have slightly distressed. I have added a Marianne D Doily diecut and some flowers cut using a Marianne die. I have then added some faux stitching, some hearts, a paper button and a few gems.

One image, 4 cards

After doing the challenge over at Polka Doodles last week, I wanted to do some more cards using the same image as I think it's really cute. This time I used the pre-coloured image and made a little scene behind the main image with a Christmas tree, some baubles and a snowflake, and added a little Robin on the top of the post box. All the elements from the image, as well as the papers are from the Here Comes Christmas CD

The snowflakes and flowers are made from Marianne Designs dies. I've also used some Tim Holtz distress ink and added a few gems here and there. It shows how you can use one image in different ways, from a basic card that a beginner could do, to a more time consuming one.

Polka Doodles challenge week 45

This is my third card for the Polka Doodles design team. This week the challenge is to make a Christmas party invite.

For this card I've used images and papers from Here Comes Christmas. I've coloured the image in with ProMarkers and added some glitter on the snow areas. The message topper is made up of a paper and a border from the CD with a the message done in word. The snowflakes and flowers are done using some Marianne Design dies.

The RSVP is tucked in behind the invite message.

 A close up of the flowers,

and the snowflake.

I think this is one of my favourite cards I have made this year.

Polka Doodles Challenge week 44

This is my second challenge card as part of the Polka Doodles design team.

This weeks challenge is to use bright colours and sparkle.

This week I've used bright blues, greens and oranges to create a bonfire night themed card.

The images, papers and fireworks are from the Sundae Of Seasons CD. The images are coloured with ProMarkers. The flower and leaves are from the Marianne Designs Floral 3 dies set. The flower is made using 3 flowers with the inner one curled inwards to give the effect of it still being partly in bud. I've finished it off with a Doodle Dewdrop in the centre of the flower and three at the top of the card.

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.
