UK Doobadoo Challenge 1

Hello everyone, I have some exiting news to share with you today. Have you heard of the company Dutch Doobadoo? Well, they are now in the UK! How exciting is that! You can buy their products via Polkadoodles and Dreamees. Here is the Dutch Doobadoo Facebook page where you can find amazing projects from the Dutch team. And now the best news! They also now have a UK team and I am on it!! Woo hoo. Here is our UK Doobadoo Facebook page and our UK Doobadoo Challenge Blog. I know there's a lot of links there so bookmark them so you know where everything is. I will also add the relevant links when doing my posts so they will always be at hand for you.
So, onto the challenge. The first one is "Hearts Forever and use a stencil" and here is my project. I have made the card blank with the Shape Art 6, and created layers using it as well, in card and in the Denim. I have then used Mask/Stencil Art A5 Diamond, some Gesso and the Pan Pastel to create the textured panels and cut them into the shape of hearts. On the layer behind the denim I have used the Mask/Stencil Art A5 - Metal 1 and run it through the Grand Calibur to emboss it. I cut some leaves from a Spellbinders die and the sentiment is from Stampin Up. I have inked the edges of everything with Tea Die Distress Ink.
I hope you can and join us for the chance to win some fab prizes.

The products I have used to create this are:

Polka Doodles challenge week 6

Good morning all, it's not my turn for the Polka Doodles challenge this week but I'm having so much fun with the new Dollie Daydream Goes East CD Collection that I thought I'd gate crash!

This box folds flat to fit in an envelope and is so eye catching, I just love it! Everything I have used on it comes from the CD.

Digi Choosday challenge week 5

It's time for another challenge at Digi Choosday at Polka Doodles and the challenge for the DT is "Shopaholics". Here is my card.

The image, papers, flowers and sentiments are all from the Dollie Daydream BONUS EDITION Girl Talk BCD Collection. I have coloured the image with Graph'It Markers and added a bow, some die cuts and some hat pins. I think the black card behind the papers and image really brings out the papers. When cutting out the flowers from the build-a-fleur section I always leave a white border around them to make them pop out more as well.
