Digi Choosday – An Elephant Sending Love on a Heart Shaped Card!

 Hello everybody!  Happy Choosday!

 It’s time for another week of 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 certainly embraced the pink on this one to make a card that would work for either Mother’s Day or Mum’s Birthday.

As this sweet little elephant is holding a heart on a string, I attempted to mimic that with a few die cuts.  I also added a ‘hugs & kisses’ (xoxo) doodle around the edge to pile on the mushiness.  💕

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

Single B/W Digi: LOVE FLOWERS ELEPHANT

Paper & Sentiment: TONS OF LOVE COLLECTION

 

Other Stuff:  Copics – Tattered Lace ‘Nesting Hearts’ & ‘Mini Bows’ Dies – Heart Gems

 Good morning, everybody!

Today we have a new 2-week challenge at THE PAPER SHELTER and as always it is

“The Colours of Love” 

The colours of love mean different things to different people but the most appropriate all-encompassing colours of love to me are rainbow colours.

TPS B/W Digi : SKYBOUND UNICORN BLISS

Colouring: Copics, White Acrylic Marker & White Gel Pen

Backing paper: POLKADOODLES ‘RAINBOW PAPER’

GDT – Colouring with Pencils – Colour of Love Stamps!

Good morning, everyone!

 Today I have the honour to once again be a guest designer on the KLEUREN MET POTLODEN (COLOURING WITH PENCILS) challenge blog and I have used this lovely image from one of their sponsors, COLOUR OF LOVE.

This is THALIA and I decided to use the spotlight technique for her using a white acrylic marker to add some ‘sparkle’.

I drew round a heart shaped die but forgot I was only colouring within it, hence the particular placement of the sentiment. 😏

Ingredients:

Digital Stamp: COLOUR OF LOVE - THALIA

Colouring: Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils on tan-toned paper

Sentiment: POLKADOODLES ULA SPARKLE

Dies:  Tonic Small scalloped Edge Rectangles

So, grab your pencils and pop over to the KLEUREN MET POTLODEN blog and join in the fun.

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it! 

Have a lovely day!
