There's a sketch for the Polkadoodles challenge this week, and a lovely one at that, nice and simple, just what I like, and some fab ideas for using it from the DT too. I've used the Sugar Birdies cd for my cards, the first card is for the challenge the second card I was just using up the leftovers! In true Polkadoodles style I played around with some doodling.
Enjoyed it so much I made another card (not following the sketch) with the rest of the A4 sheet and stampies. I've seen Nikky on Create & Craft demoing her new stamps, stamping black on pastel papers, and just had to give it a try it looked so effective, something I never would have thought of doing. The gorgeous holly leaves and berries are from Lynda, I've doodled on them too!
Yet again another brilliant sketch from Dawn at ICS. Another great sponsor too, My Creative Classroom. We have some new designers joining the DT this week be sure to check out their beautiful cards. I'm really delighted that Dawn asked me to stay on for another four months as I love her sketches.
This card combines two challenges. The Allsorts challenge is to use the colour 'Kraft' and the DCM challenge is 'Folding Up'. Allsorts is sponsored by Liz from Pink Petticoat this week and if you use PP products you can enter your card into the draw twice! I got the method for this popup card from HERE, it folds flat to fit into an envelope, genius!
The Kraft card backing paper and image is from the PP 'Big Fella' download which is one of my faves from Liz, lots of manly paper designs and images that are not too manly to be used for girls too, so good value for money! I paper pieced the image and some of the letters and added a bit of doodling. Not a very good photo, too much sun at the back of the house, not enough at the front and boy do I need to clean my windows! Tfl xx
