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

Polkadoodles Digi Choosday – An Autumn Wedding Anniversary with Two Cute Rabbits.

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!

 

Today the team are celebrating the arrival of autumn, and I have to say to it “what took you so long?”! 

I have made an autumnal wedding anniversary card for my brother and SiL today featuring two of the images that come in the GIL RABBIT BUNNY BUNDLE, and they are GIL RABBIT SUNFLOWERS and GIL RABBIT GARDENING. I used Word to merge them together onto one of the backing papers from the CREEPY CREATURES COLLECTION. I chose this paper as (if you look VERY closely) it has a misty depiction of a temple/folly and it looks very much like their wedding venue at Stowe School. I was quite chuffed with that. Although I do have to point out that they themselves are not actually rabbits.

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

B/W Images: GIL RABBIT BUNNY BUNDLE

Sentiment: LOVE BIRDS GREETINGS

Backing Paper: CREEPY AUTUMN PAPER SET 3d

Printing Paper: PERFECT STAMPING & PRINTING CARD

 

Other Stuff:

Colouring: Faber Castell Polychromos

Dies: Craft Addiction UK – Tattered Lace
