Mixed media style card with girl in bright bold colours

 Hi everyone

We recently had a brand new release of stamps at POlkadoodles and I was lucky enough to make some TV samples with them.  As soon as I saw this set I knew it needed vibrant and bold colours to make it pop, so I used a really bright colour palette to make this card.

The stamps are from the "one of a kind" collection, this one is called fly high and all are available in the Polkadoodles shop.


To make the background I used some liquid inks in yellow and pink and put them onto a mat, adding a little water, I used watercolour card to make an inky background. I then left this overnight to dry thoroughly. 

I then used the flower stamp from the set and white embossing powder to add floral interest to the background.

I stamped some flowers, the girl image, and the tape image from the set in memento black ink, and coloured using a variety of topics. adding shade and contrast to the image.

I fussy cut everything out before sticking it to my background, either with glue or foam squares. I added a few touches using a bit of glitter pen to the dress and a doodled black border with a fine liner around the edge.  Finally, I mat and layered onto black card stock, before mounting onto a 5x7 card to leave a small white border.

I hope you like her!
