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

Word art Wednesday - A/G

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!!)

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.

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.

Polkadoodles - Gil Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers

Hello there and happy Wednesday!

It's time for my design team card over at POLKADOODLES  DIGI CHOOSDAY CHALLENGE

For today's card I created a little scene using Polkadoodles - gil-bunny-rabbit-growing-sunflowers-precoloured-digi-stamp which I cut out using my scan and cut machine. Along with some sunflowers from Autumn-fall-bundle-of-colour-clipart-printables and added some glitter to the centres. The cloud background paper is from Pretty-spring-papers and the gingham paper is from Perfect-Peony , which I used to die cut a grass border. My greeting is from Christmas-everyday-sentiment. To finish off my card I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges and added Glossy Accents to the watering can and brads in the corners.

Thanks for visiting and good luck if you enter the challenge at Digi Choosday!

Challenges:

CD Sunday challenge - A/G using cd rom or digi image

as you like it challenge -favourite-embellishment-and-why? - this is a tough one for me as I like to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards (and very often have to sit on my hands or walk away from my card!!) But if I had to chose I think it would be brads or gems to finish off the corners of my card - they also disguise my wonky stitching!!!

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.
