Beautiful Winnie Sunshine Delights Coloured with Distress Reinkers

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend. We had such gorgeous weather. After a pretty cloudy week,  the sun decided to made an appearance:)

Today I am popping in to share some more Polkadoodles inspiration.

On my card this time, I have coloured up a very beautiful digis from the Sunshine Delights collection. called Winnie Busy.

I printed Winne onto some Artistico watercolour paper and cut the square out with one of the Posydoodle Square dies.

I have coloured her mostly with distress ink reinkers, but have used a couple of zig pens too.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: 091 (Zig), Speckled Egg, Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar
Dress: Speckled Egg, 075 (Zig)
Shoes: 075 (Zig)
Bags: Speckld Egg, Victorian Velvet, 075 (Zig)

I was so excited when Nikky announced she had the new speckled egg distress ink in stock which is the latest colour to be released by Tim Holtz. It is absolutely gorgeous.

The papers I have used on my card are from the Eden Plain Jane 1 set of digis papers.

There is a  removeable tag tucked behind the image. The tag has been cut from one of the Posydoodles Basic tag dies. I covered it with scraps that were left over from the shape of the card and stamped the sentiment from the Super Sentiments set of stamps. I wanted to give the card a bit of height so cut the gorgeous oval trellis die, cut it in half and tucked it between the card and paper.

I have also used another of the Posydoodle Tag dies and the Super Sentiment stamps to create the sentiment below.


I've cut the Super Sprigs die in white card and tucked them underneath the flowers, I think they look so pretty.

I hope you like my little piece of inspiration.

Happy crafting:)

Wonderful Time Christmas Easel Card

Good morning everyone,

The sunshine is back! I hope you are all well.

Have you started making your Christmas cards? As it's my turn to share  Polkadoodles inspiration, and it was a wet and cold June day, I was just in the mood to create a Christmas card.

Links the products I have used are below each picture of my card, just click on a picture to be taken directly to the product.

This lovely stamp is called 'Wonderful Time' from the Winnie Winter Wishes collection.


I just adore this stamp, it is so much fun to colour.


Wonderful Time -  Winnie Winter Wishes - CLEAR POLYMER STAMP

I have used a mixture of distress reinkers and Zig water colour pens to colour the image.

Distress Reinkers:
Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Coat, Boots and Hat: Weathered Wood

Zig Pens:
Snowmen, Sledge: 091 (Light Grey), 902 ( Natural Grey)

To create the white dots on her coat I dotted on some Pebeo drawing gum, which needs to dry before starting to colour. Once you have finished, it just rubs away.

To create the falling snow, I sprinkled on some white shabby chic frantage and heat set it from underneath.

The sumptious blue papers are from the Winnie White Christmas papers 4 set of digis downloads. What is great about this set of papers is that they can be used all year round.

These Christmas trees are just divine. They come in a set of three dies. I cut two, covered them in glue and sprinkled some Twinklet Diamond Dust to give them gorgeous frosty sparkle.

Tucked underneath the flowers are some beautiful die cut spruce, which again I have covered with twinklets to give a lovely frosty look. The set of dies also includes a gorgeous holly die.

Peeping out of the right hand side is a beautiful snowflake cut from the fancy snowflake die. I cut the snowflake in half which means I have the other half to use on another project.
