Spring Flowers

Good morning everyone, I'm here today with a new challenge from the Polkadoodles blog. This week the team were challenged to make something with spring flowers on, the challenge for you as always is anything goes.

I knew straight away I wanted to use some of the fabulous Polkadoodles flower dies, so I chose to use the flowers 2 dies set, and here is my make.

I also used the small frame from the Bubbleicious Frames die set.

So actually this isn't what I started out making, I started by cutting some of the flowers and usimg my pink and purple inks on them, but I wasn't happy with the results as I didn't think they were spring like so I started again.This time I decided to use my Brusho powders and was happy with the colours. So actually a quick card took me over an hour to make, but hey ho I love it, and I had great fun making it, and that is what crafting is all about isn't it!

Here's a close up of the flowers for you.

Why not come and join in the challenge and be in with a chance to win some fab prizes. See you over at the blog.

Thabk you

Good morning and a very happy

to you all. Over at the Digi Choosday blog today the team were challenged to make a Thank You card. For you the challenge remains as always, Anything Goes. 

Here is my make for this week.

 

I have used one of my fave collections for this make, it's an old one but still remains at the top of my list, and it's one I turn to many a time. It's from the Picknix 1 collection, and from the mini Home Grown collection within it.

I've used 3 of the papers and cut them down into squares. I've then distressed and inked the edges before gluing them in place. Then I added some faux stitching with a white pen, and layered up the 3 layers. I then used the Flowers 2 and the Super Sprigs Polkadoodles dies to create the flowers and foliage. I then used a Stampin Up die for the sentiment. I cut it out 4 times and glued them on top of each other to give it some dimension like a chipboard sentiment. I then cut it out in Kraft card and added it at the back slightly off to give it a drop shadow.

Now don't forget to pop over to the blog to check out my teamies makes and to grab today's massive discount code.

Ribbon or Lace

Good morning everyone. It's already time for another challenge from us at the Polkadoodles challenge blog. This week the team were challenged to use Ribbon or Lace and here is my make.

I used a circle die to create and circular easel card. I used lots of elements from the Winnie in Wonderland collection on this card. This really is one of my all time favourite collections in case you hadn't noticed! I used the small frame die from the Bubbleicious Frames die set to cut out Sydney the White Rabbit. I fussy cut all the embellies and mounted them onto the card using 3D foam. I added some extra interest with the sprig die and the flowers 2 dies. Finally I used some crushed silk ribbon and a jewelled gem to finish it all off.
