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

613 Avenue Create Challenge – A Fun Card with LOTV Little Ballerinas!

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 ‘Play Time’ featuring something fun. 

Now these pretty little girls look as if they are having lots of fun and they can be found in the fabulous collection of LITTLE BALLERINAS from LILI OF THE VALLEY.

 

As soon as I saw these adorable little misses I just had to have them (being a huge ballet and LOTV fan). I used 2 of the images, flipping one to face the other way and coloured them with my pencils. I decided on different skin tones for each and used the backing paper for my inspiration for the palette.

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamps: LOTV RIBBONS & LOTV HAPPY

Colouring: Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils

Paper: LOTV 

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Centre Stepper Card’ set – Memory Box ‘Party Music’

Sentiment: Created in Canva

The Rest: Small & Large Star Punches

 

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

An Easter Card with a Bunny Princess!

 Good morning, everybody!

Well I was supposed to post this yesterday but apparently and very sadly The Paper Shelter shop and challenge blog are now closed (there was a post on the blog on Sunday which is how I found out 😞) so I thought I might as well post it today.

This lovely lady is here to wish you a Happy Easter on a very simple layered card.

 

She already had the ears so I thought I would give her a pink nose and whiskers to finish ‘the look’.

Ingredients:

TPS Image & Backing Paper: Bunny Princess (no longer available)

Colouring: Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils – White Acrylic Marker

Dies: Spellbinders ‘Postage Stamp Edge Squares’

The Rest: Pearls – Acrylic Stamped Message (from a magazine a million years ago)

 

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

Have a great day all!
