Polkadoodles Alcea Hollyhock Flowers

Hi there!
It's time for my design team card at Polkadoodles Digi choosday challenge and here's what I made:




I decided to make another stepper card which I cut out on my scan and cut machine along with the beautiful Polkadoodles Alcea-Hollyhock-flowers-digital--download. I printed and cut out several images so that I could layer them up with foam pads. The background papers come with the image so they co-ordinate perfectly. The sentiment is from Polkadoodles Spring-flower-mothers-day-friends-greetings sentiments and I finished off my card with some dots, glitter and a corner punch. 

Challengs:
CD Sunday  - A/G using CD rom or Digi image
as you like it challenge -favourite-sketch-layout-and-why? - this is one of my favourite layouts at the moment because I can easily cut it out on my scan and cut machine. Also I think it's a bit different!

House Mouse Flowers

Hello and happy Friday! I have made a House Mouse card today:




I printed this image off a long time ago but I think it was from the House Mouse decoupage CD rom. 
I then cut it out on my scan and cut and layered the images with foam pads. My papers are Make & Create 'Spring time'. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat (sadly closed) and I finished off my card by machine stitching around the edges and a corner punch.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-sketch-layout-and-why? - this is my favourite sketch for a House Mouse decoupage card because I try to focus on the main image. I like to stitch around my finished card and add corner punches (which is a handy way to cover up wonky stiches!!)

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Polkadoodles - Superhero - Little Dudes

Hi there! I had a bit of crafty time today so I decided to colour this cute chap!:




I used Polkadoodles Superhero-little-dudes-download and coloured him with Promarkers. The image comes with the cloud paper plus 2 others and the sentiment. The stars are punched from glitter card and I added Glossy accents to his boots and glitter to his shield and lightsaber. I finished off with some corner punches and machine stitched around the edge of my card.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -do-you-prefer-brights-or-pastels-and-why? - even though today's card is quite bright I do prefer pastel colours because I think they are more subtle and not so glary!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful bank holiday weekend!

Polkadoodles Graduation Stepper Card

Hi there!
It's time for Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge and the theme for this week is graduation so here is my card:




For today's card I decided to make a stepper card which I cut out on my scan and cut machine. The cute boy image is also cut out with my scan and cut along with the bunting and hat/scroll elements. The boy is mounted onto a Spellbinders die and the background paper is from the Graduation school student bundle which was then mounted onto some gold foiled card.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -do-you-prefer-brights-or-pastels-and-why? - I much prefer pastels because I think it is more subtle and not so glary!

House Mouse decoupage card

Hi there, I hope that it's sunny wherever you are 🌞!  I have made a House Mouse card today:




I printed the images from the House Mouse decoupage CD Rom and then cut them out on my scan and cut machine - I absolutely love this machine! It saves so much time fussy cutting and cuts out such tiny images that I couldn't do with my scissors ✂. I layered all the elements with foam pads and added some glitter. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat (very sadly closed). To finish off I machine stitched around the edges and used a corner punch and heart stickers.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -your-favourite-style-simple-or-fussy-why? - this is very easy for me as I CAN NOT make a CAS card for toffees!! I just have to add one more thing....!!
Pixies snippets playground - must use snippets - here are the snippets that I used:

Polkadoodles Butterfly Flowerpots

Hello everyone! It's time for my Polkadoodles Digi Choosday design team card and here's what I made:




When I make cards for my mum she very often frames them so that gave me the idea for today's card. I decided to frame the beautiful Butterfly Flowerpots image using a wood effect paper from the Udderly Cute love digital papers and attached a piece of Acetate to represent the glass of the picture frame. The sentiment is from the Spring flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings set, and I finished off my card with some gems and a tiny sprinkling of glitter.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-style-simple-or-fussy-why? - this is an easy one for me, definitely fussy because I can not make CAS cards. In fact I very often have to sit on my hands because I want to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards!!
