Polka Doodles Week 4

This weeks Polka Doodles challenge was set by Kerry.  To create a card for Valentine's Day using non traditional colours.  Just a hint of traditional pink in my card!  The image is pre coloured I've just coloured the table with distress ink.  I've added glitter and glossy accents to the cup cakes, but it's not showing up on the photo.  It's a bit fuzzy too, my first attempt using Photoshop Elements, still a lot to learn methinks! 
Hope you can join in this week, don't forget there's a prize of some Polka Doodles goodies up for grabs for the winner.  Tfl x

Inspirational Card Sketch #51 - A Tag!

It's ICS Tuesday!  and time for another awesome sketch from Dawn.  Our very own Heather is sponsoring with her Fresh Brewed Design images again this week.  For a change I've made a tag, it was inspired by some tags I'd been admiring HERE.

I made the flower by turning and twisting a srip of inked up grungepaper.  Tflx

Polka Doodles Week 3 - Sketch

It's still Friday, just (sorry I'm a bit late posting mine) that means it's time for another challenge from Polka Doodles.  This week it's a sketch, the design team were given the added colour challenge too, to use orange and red in their creations.  Be sure to check out the Polka Doodles blog the DT have come up with some real stunners this week. as always.

Not so happy with my card, not sure that my style brings out the best in the Polka Doodles designs. But I'm working on it, I won't be beaten!
I've used papers from the Sugar Birdies CD  and added some stitching to create a patchwork effect.  Lulu ladybug has had a couple of coats of glossy accents to make her shine!
