Sparkle and shine

Hello everyone

Me again, back this time with the cutest new releases from All dressed up.

All of the images are available from etsy here the image I used is called Sparkle, and she is perfect for new years, or any other celebration.

She was coloured in copics and fussy cut.  I then used an old Anna Marie stamp set for the congrats in the background and a spotty stencil.  The papers are off cuts from my scrap box.  All layered together, finished with sparkle pens and glossy accents.

the full set of new release images are:

Penguin fun

 Hi everyone

The latest challenge on Polkadoodles blog is live now!

Here is my inspiration for this challenge using the super cute penguin set called latte Christmas greetings

After colouring the images with copics, I set the scene by fussy cutting everything out and then cutting down my side fold card blank to form a snowy bank.  Behind it is some snowy polkadoodles papers.

They look so cute

Winter wedding

Hello friends

Today marks another fortnightly Polkadoodles challenge, with an anything goes theme.  For the DT we were asked to make things with an elegant winter wedding theme.  

These gnomes are actually part of the Christmas collection, but i felt they were really appropriate for a bride and groom. 

I made a faux stepper card, using cream card that i stencilled with vintage photo distress oxide.  The stencil is called Beautiful snowflake

The image Gnome meet me under the mistletoe was coloured in brown tones for a monochrome feel.  

It also needed some florals, so I used this stamp set called Poinsettia greetings and chopped the pot off the bottom, leaving cream blooms to decorate.

What you can't see in the photo is all the sparkle added withs stickles and a clear glitter pen.

Please hop on over to the Polkadoodles blog and check out the DT inspiration.

Bundle of Joy

 Hello crafters

Today I'm sharing the latest DT inspiration for our Facebook challenge over at all dressed up.  Each month on the 1st we have a new theme for you to make projects for and enter for a chance to win some images from the fabulous Wendy Burns.

This month our theme is clean and simple.

I do love a CAS card, and here is mine using a stamp called night night little one 

I printed the image and coloured with copics and Spectrum noir tri blend brush markers

The paper is from my stash and the sentiment stamp is from a waltzing mouse set that I have had for around 15 years!

The only other finishing touch was a clear glitter sparkle pen on the flower and on the pads of her feet.

I'd like to enter this into:

• CAS on Sunday -A greeting card

• Through the craft room door - Anything goes
