Rebel says hello

 Hi everyone

Not sure if you have seen the latest release from polka doodles, but she is just amazing!  I love the sassy attitude she has - perfect for any teenage girl, in fact, any diva would love this! 



I made this using a digi image (there are two types of rebel image, both the sketchy lines like this one and the solid drawn lines) I coloured her using a combination of copics and polychromos pencils and fussy cut her out.  The hearts are from another polkadoodles stamp set called Hoe grown, and the stencil is from the funky flowers release.

I finished the card using some geometric stripy paper and a pop of yellow and added a few glossy accent bubbles around her.

I think she is amazing

Bunita says 'happy mothers day'

 Hi Crafty friends

In the UK soon it is Mother's Day.  It's a bittersweet day for me, as my son celebrates with me being his mom, but I sadly lost both my Mom and my Mother-in-law.

I still however, have a Nan - so I always make her a card and send flowers as she looked after me a lot as a child, and deserves to be spoiled too.

This year - I made this sweet card using Bunita from Polkadoodles, and used it as your inspiration for this week's PD challenge


I used a combination of stamps and papers from Polkadoodles for this.

Firstly the image - Bunita Carrot cake, was coloured using polychromos pencils.  I wanted a soft, furry look for her.  I then fussy cut her out.

I used a paper pack called Sugar scrumptious for the backing papers, adding only a little ink around the edge.  The sentiment is also a PD one called great occasions.

I'd like to enter this into:

I coloured him with a combination of copics, then using polychromos pencils for extra depth and detail.

The papers are from a Nitwit digi kit that I layered together, and then fussy cut the cute image and added with foam tape for dimension

Bee mine....

 Hi everyone

Over at Polkadoodles the latest challenge has been launched.  We have some fabulous prizes to be won for the random winner and extras for the Dts favourite.

This time I used the too cute range, with a bee stamp called Bee mine.



In the background I printed the sentiment onto a piece of card and cut it to size, then I used a stencil from the funky flowers range, the border stamp from the Bumpy road stamp set, and the hearts from homegrown

I printed and coloured the image using copics and added detail with a white gel pen.  The background was inked with mustard seed distress oxide.  

I then fussy cut the image out before adding foam tape pads for dimension

The border is doodled with a black fine liner, and I coloured the chequered bits in just for a bit of extra black and yellow stripy fun!

I hope you'll join us over at Polkadoodles, we would love to see you there.  If you land here - please leave me a comment so I know you have dropped by!
