Polkadoodles Digi Choosday – A Halloween Treat Bag with Cute Critters!

 Hello everybody!  Happy Choosday!

It’s time for some inspiration for our monthly ‘Anything Goes’ challenge over at POLKADOODLES DIGI CHOOSDAY and as always we have some amazing prizes on offer so check out the BLOG for details.

 

Don’t forget it is also DISCOUNT DAY, so you need to grab the code on THE BLOG to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! It’s for a limited time only so be quick!

 

I made a cute Halloween treat bag today featuring lots of lovely goodies from the  HELLO AUTUMN collection.

The main image is called TRICK OR TREAT BEAR & BUNNY, and it is so beautifully pre-coloured that I didn’t even try to colour it myself (saves a bit of time too). I used Word to arrange all my images onto one of the gorgeous AUTUMN BACKGROUND SCENES and used some of the AUTUMN CLIP ART COLLECTION, the cauldron, spellbook and potion bottle, to add a touch of magic to the scene. I re-coloured the sentiment to give it a ghostly appearance against the sky.

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

Main Pre-coloured Image: TRICK OR TREAT BEAR & BUNNY

Backing Paper:   AUTUMN BACKGROUND SCENES

Sentiment: HELLO AUTUMN GREETINGS BUNDLE

Pre-coloured Cauldron, Spellbook & Potion Bottle: AUTUMN CLIP ART COLLECTION

All Images Used: HELLO AUTUMN

Printing Paper: PERFECT STAMPING & PRINTING CARD

 

Other Stuff:

Pre-made Treat Bag – Tattered Lace Cobweb Dies – Spider Sequins

Creative Inspirations – Polkadoodles Winnie Autumn Wishes Pumpkin Shaped Card!

 Hello, how are things? 

We have a new challenge over at the Creative Inspirations Blog and this month our theme is;

Anything Goes

Natalie is generously providing the winner’s prize this time so come and join us!

 

Polkadoodles recently had a fabulous seasonal release called WINNIE AUTUMN WISHES and that is what I used for my card today.

 

This gorgeous girl is called HAPPY MAIL and using Word I popped her onto one of the backing papers in the collection. I positioned her on the paper so I could include the tag that was already there and then added one of the sentiments to that. Once I had printed out my page, I used a pumpkin ‘make-a-card’ shaped die to cut it out then used some of the other elements that remained on the paper as decoration around the pumpkin stalk. Nothing gets wasted!

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: POLKADOODLES ‘HAPPY MAIL’

Colouring: Derwent Drawing Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Dies: LDRS Creative ‘Create a Card Pumpkin’ (now retired)

Paper: POLKADOODLES ‘AUTUMN WISHES PAPERS’

Sentiment: POLKADOODLES ‘AUTUMN WISHES SENTIMENTS’

So, pop over to the blog and join in the fun this month, we would love to see you.

613 Avenue Create Challenge – A Pink Witch with Mo’s Digital Pencil!

 Hello, how are things?

It is time for a new challenge at 613 AVENUE CREATE.

Our challenge is monthly and always ‘Anything Goes’ with an optional twist which today is ‘Think Pink’.

 

I picked Halloween for my pink themed card today using this fab image from MO’S DIGITAL PENCIL

 

I find pink can be a hard shade to get right and I tried quite a few of my pencils before I could get 2 distinctive tones. This is a very tiny homage to Wicked with the green skin of Elphaba and the pink dress of Galinda. Sort of an Elphalinda if you will.

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: MO’S DIGITAL PENCIL ‘LITTLE WITCH’

Colouring: Arteza & Castle Arts Pencils

Colouring Paper: Faber Castell Mixed Media

Backing Paper: POLKADOODLES ‘AUTUMN TOPPERS’

Sentiment: Created in Canva

Dies: Go Kreate ‘Square Frame Frilly #10’ – Spellbinders Bats – Tonic Studios Spider

The Rest: Doodling

 

We would love to have you play along with us so pop over to the blog and join in the fun. 

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; it really means a lot! Take care!

Polkadoodles Digi Choosday – A Christmas Card Featuring a Cute Snowman

Hello everybody!  Happy Choosday! 

It’s time for some inspiration for our monthly ‘Anything Goes’ challenge over at POLKADOODLES DIGI CHOOSDAY and as always we have some amazing prizes on offer so check out the BLOG for details.

 

Don’t forget it is also DISCOUNT DAY, so you need to grab the code on THE BLOG to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! It’s for a limited time only so be quick!

 

We have a Christmas radio station here in the UK called Heart Christmas that stays, obviously, dormant for most of the year. However yesterday on my way to work I got the shock of my life when I was flicking through the stations on my car radio to find that they are already back on air playing festive songs! For a moment there I thought I had SERIOUSLY overslept! 

Anyway, with Christmas now rattling around in my head I am sharing a card featuring this sweet little snowman with his bird pal called NEW FRIENDS. 

I created a wintery scene using clear stamps from the JINGLE BELLS set and coloured with Copics, adding some doodling and torn paper as a finishing touch.  Now I’m off to hang up my stocking.

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

B/W Image: NEW FRIENDS from the FROSTY WINTER SMILES COLLECTION

Sentiment & Trees Clear Stamps: JINGLE BELLS

Printing Paper: PERFECT STAMPING & PRINTING CARD

 

Other Stuff:

Colouring: Copics

Dies: Sizzix Rectangle Thinlits
