Polkadoodles challenge - Summertime

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. Our theme for this challenge is 

Summertime 

For my DT inspiration this week, I decided to use the gorgeous stamps from the Summertime and Daisydays collections. 

I stamped one of the Summertime flowers in gold over my red card as a background and then stamped the same image in red over some white card as a background. I then added a layer of summery orange vellum. I then stamped 2 butterflies and a flower and coloured them with copics, before fussy cutting them and adding them with a bright red bow.

The card is a sliding pop up card that I learnt to make in a class many years ago when I first started stamping.

Here is my card:

The copics I used are: Y12, Y14, Y15, Y35, Y38, R22, R24, R27, R89.

The best thing about these cards is they easily lay flat for folding:

And here is another side on view showing the pop-up:

Happy stamping until next time...

Polkadoodles challenge - Add ribbon or twine

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. Our theme for this challenge is 

Add ribbon or twine 

Sounds so easy, but I always struggle to add twine to a card. 

For my DT inspiration this week, I decided to use another fabulous image from the   'Winnie in Wonderland' collection which I printed out and then coloured in with my copics. The image I chose this time is none other than Winnie Wonderland Cheshire Cat. I also used some of the gorgeous background papers included in the collection.

Here is my card:

The copics I used are: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, B00, B01, B02, B04, B06, Y0000, Y00, Y04, YG25, YG03, YG67, YG63, R85, R83, R81, E59, E57, E55, E53, E77, E74, E71, E99, W00, W1, W3, W5.

I used an Oval die cut to cut out my image and layered it on a second oval that I wrapped with some twine. Then I layered this on to a fancy oval die cut using Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance Nestabilities.  The backing card was edged with Martha Stewarts Around the Page punch - Cherish. To top it all off I added a hand tied bow and some more twine linking some tea time charms I had in my stash.

Happy crafting until next time....

Hi everyone and welcome to another fabulous Polkadoodles challenge. Our new theme is 

One for the Boys

For my DT inspiration this week, I have made a card using pre-coloured digis from the Sticks & Bones collection which I printed, cut out and layered to make a quick fun birthday card for a special little man I know.
