Polkadoodles - Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime

Hi there!
Here is my design team card for Polkadoodles  Digi choosday 



I used Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime DESIGN SHEET 1 and fussy cut lots of different elements. I mounted the main image onto a white scalloped circle. The heart background paper is from Pretty Spring papers. Lastly, I added gems to the centre of my flowers and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of my card.

Challenges:

House Mouse Decoupage card

Hi there!
I have made a House Mouse card today:




I have been saving my pennies for a long time and have bought a scan and cut machine - OMG - it is AMAZING!!! There is still lots to learn but from the short play that I have had with it I am blown away at the detail it can cut. I now want to cut everything in sight so there will be lots of decoupage cards to follow!!

Items used:
House Mouse decoupage cd rom
Old SU paper and card
corner punch
SU brads

Polkadoodles Lilac Haze watercolour flowers

Hi there!
I am excited to share my second design team card for Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge:






I used Polkadoodles Lilac Haze watercolour flowers  download and printed it 3 times so that I could fussy cut the flowers to add layers. I added some yellow glitter glue to the centres and layered them onto purple card. The background paper comes with the download as well as 6 other pretty papers. The flower image that I used is pre coloured but there is also a black and white image if you wish to colour it yourself. The sentiment is Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings sentiments which I fussy cut and layered. The 'Mum' sentiment is from Mother's Day messages sentiments - again fussy cut and layered. The beautiful tag which I just had to buy after seeing Nikky on Hobbymaker TV channel is called Ribbon tag heart dies which I mounted and fussy cut onto purple card. Finally I added a Pretty Flower Flourish die  with a brad for the centre and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of the card.



Challenges:

Polkadoodles Mothers Day card

I am so excited to share that I am now a member of Polkadoodles design team at Digi choosday challenge - Yay! 😊

For my first challenge we were asked to make a Mother's Day card and here is what I made:






I used Polkadoodles Winnie-sugar-sprinkles-springtime-design-sheet and fussy cut some of the elements. The polka dot backing paper is from Polkadoodles -udderly-cute-love-digital-papers  which I layered onto some pink card. Then I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges. Finely I added some yellow glitter glue and gems.

Challenges:

Polkadoodles Gingerbread House

Hello and a happy new year!
The following cards were made before Christmas but I didn't get a chance to post them - sorry if you are sick of seeing Christmas cards!
Warning - sunglasses needed to protect against glare!! 




The image is  pre coloured Polkadoodles 'Gingerbread House'.
The pink and silver background paper is from the art studio which I mounted onto some silver board. My sentiment is computer generated and I used lots of glossy accents and glitter.

Challenges
52 Christmas card throwdown - sketch - my card hasn't got a central oval shape (mines oblong) so if this is not acceptable please delete me!


I hope to be back soon.
