Digi Choosday – A Hexagon Card for a Student!

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 just entered the school summer holidays here in the UK so now would be a great time to make those encouraging cards for when the new term comes around.  Let’s face it time will fly by.

 This sweet little student is from the GRADUATION/SCHOOL collection, just look at her adorable face.  I added her to one of the fabulous papers in this set and then created a banner by layering a piece of the EPHEMERA and a flag sentiment from the OBJECT BUNDLE then printed it all out as a single layer design. I do love a shaped card so broke out my hexagon dies again and added some punched stars as she is most definitely a star student.

  

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

B/W Image: CUTE GIRL WITH STATIONERY

Layered Banner & Sentiment: GRADUATION/SCHOOL EPHEMERA & GRADUATION/SCHOOL/STUDENT OBJECT DIGITAL STAMPS COLLECTION

613 Avenue Create Challenge – A Meditative Retirement Card!

Hello, how are things?

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

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

 

I chose to follow the Anything Goes theme this time as I had a retirement card to make for one of my sisters-in-law.

 

DI’S DIGITAL STAMPS has some fabulous modern ladies in their store and I thought that this particular one, LOTUS LOTTIE YOGA, would be just right for my SiL. It’s an ironic sentiment as she has no conception of relaxation at all. She is always on the go so retirement will probably mean her cramming even more into her days (my poor brother…teehee).

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: LOTUS LOTTIE YOGA

Colouring: Arrtx Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Paper: LDRS Creative

Dies: Chloe’s Creative Cards ‘8 x 8 Fancy Squares’ - Generic Flowers & Candles 

Sentiment: Created in Canva

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

I am using another of the adorable pandas from the NOODLE PANDA collection (my mum is as much a sucker for cute as I am) and this one is called FLOWER BOUQUET. I don’t often use embossing folders, and I love the look, so I dug one of my very old designs to use here.

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.
