New Challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting - Tandem Ride

Good morning everyone,

Happy Friday:)

Today we begin a new challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting. This time the DT were tasked with a theme of 'Add a Heart', but as always it's an 'Anything Goes' theme for all you crafters, and don't forget you don't have to use a PD image to take part.

To make the shape of the card I have used a large Go Create heart shaped die 

The image is called Tandem Ride, I thought they looked like they were loved up:) You can buy the image either pre-coloured or as a black and white digi. 

The papers are from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 2 and Eden Plain Jane 2

I have used distress reinkers to colour the image.

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

DI list: 

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Dress and Bow: Picked Raspberry
