New Challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting

Good morning,

Yay it's Friday, I hope you all have a sun filled weekend.

Today we have a new challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting. The team were set a challenge with the theme of 'friend', we had to combine two images together and make something which includes a pocket, but for all you fabulous crafters out there it's an 'Anything Goes' challenge and don't forget you don't have to use a Polkadoodles image to enter and to top it all there are great prizes.

So I came up with an idea of making a criss cross card, something a bit different for me, but I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

I have coloured up Hooray Winnie and the very cute Horace. In my world they are best friends. Winnie is available as a  black and white image or pre-coloured. I have put links to both at the bottom of this post. I have used distress reinkers to colour the scene. 

The papers are from Eden Paper Heaven Plain Jane 2.

The card stand was cut from a Joy Crafts die.

All the embellishments are from my own crafty stash.

The sentiment is from the Serenity Fairy Wishes set.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Top: Victorian Velvet, Hickory Smoke

Trousers: Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

Horace: Hickory Smoke, Worn Lipstick, Black Soot

Grass: Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters

The winner will receive a $10 gift voucher from the download store and each of the top 3 will receive a free digi stamp voucher to use in the store.

That's all from me.

Thank you for popping in.

Take care.

Hugs

The flowers, lace and ribbon are from my crafty stash.

Hair: Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood, Victorian Velvet

New Challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting - Bride & Groom

Good morning everyone,

Happy Friday and if you are in the U.K. I hope you have a fabulous Bank Holiday weekend.

We have a new challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting today. The DT were set a theme of Spring Weddings/Romance and had to use a digi from the Work and Play Love & Kisses collection and only one thing on the card could be pink - yikes, you know I love pink! For all you fabulous crafters out there it is an 'Anything Goes ' challenge and there are great prizes up for grabs.

I chose this gorgeous image called Bride and Groom.  I have coloured the couple with distress reinkers and add some glitter to her tiara and dress.

The papers are from the Love/Romance Lover and Kisses paper bundle 2.

The sentiment on the base of the card has been printed from the Winnie Celebrations kits 3.

I've added a chipboard heart which I painted with white gesso and a silver heart charm. 

 The smallest die cut panel has been covered in lace and I've added a die cut horseshoe which the couple are sitting on and a couple of pearl heart embellishments. 

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Bride:

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Black Soot

Dress: Hickory Smoke 

Bouquet: Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters, Seedless Preserves

That's all from me today.
