Polkadoodles Challenge - Cream and Sugar

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

Cream and Sugar

and we want to see your lovely creations in cream, ivory, coffee and pink colours. 

For my DT inspiration this week, I have used Polkadoodles images, papers and cut outs from 3 different collections. I just love the way Polkadoodles elements all work together so beautifully. Anyway, here is my card:


For my card I used some of the gorgeous papers from Winston and coffee tags from Barista Coffee/Cake bundle kit from the Work and Play 12 collection. I used my cameo to cut the tags out, so that was super easy.


For my main image I chose  Tea for Twoo, Tea Party from Twiggy & Toots. I printed Twiggy onto Cryogen card with my Canon ink jet printer and then coloured her in with my copics. The colours I used are:  W5, W3, W1, W00, E89, E87, E84, E81, R20, R85, R83, R81, Y28, Y26, Y23, Y21, YG03, R39, R89, R24, Y13, Y0000, R0000


Here is a closer look at the image, lots of flicking here for the feathers.
