New Challenge at Polkdoodles Crafting - Flower Girl

Good morning everyone,

Happy Easter Friday, I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing. 

Today we begin a new challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting. The DT were tasked with making a card using an animal image, spring colours and to use a tag. For all you lovely crafters as always its an 'Anything Goes challenge.

I have coloured up an image from the Helga Hippo collection called Flower Girl, she is so cute.  I painted her with distress reinkers.

The papers are from the Octavia Moonfly paperholic collection.

There is a tag peeping out on the right hand side and also on the base of the card.

The border on the left hand side is a Joy Crafts die. 

Everything else is from my craft stash.

DI list:

Skin: Hickory Smoke, Picked Raspberry, Black Soot

Dress and Hat: Bundled Sage, Black Soot

Bow: Victorian Velvet, Picked Raspberry

Flowers: Victorian Velvet, Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters

The lucky winner of the challenge will win a $10 gift voucher to the store and each of the top 3 favourites picked by the DT will win a free digi stamp voucher for the store. Don't forget you don't have to use a Polkadoodles image to enter the challenge.

That's all from me today.

Have a fantastic Easter weekend, the weather is forecast to be gorgeous here in the south of the U.K, I hope it is where you are. 

Thank you for popping in.

Take care.

Hugs

The leaves have been cut from a Joy Crafts die, the fence from a Magnolia Doohuickeys die and the lovely view die cut is a LDRS die.

The die cuts have been cut from Joy Crafts, Little Darlings and Scrap Man.

The bow is made from some gorgeous pale yellow silk ribbon. Everything is else is from my crafty stash.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Black Soot
Dress: Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood, Black Soot.
