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:

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!

The Paper Shelter Challenge – From Hippie Chic to Wednesday Addams!

 Good morning all!

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

ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist which this time is ‘Take a Non-Halloween Image and Make it Spooky’ Oh boy did I enjoy myself with this one.

 


The non-Halloween image I chose to use is HIPPIE CHIC who I thought I had a reasonable chance of turning into Wednesday Addams.


Pencils worked best for the colouring as they are more opaque than Copics so I could disguise certain areas and add bits here and there. ‘Thing’ was created using the hand from this TPS image HERE 


 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: HIPPIE CHIC

Colouring: Pencils - Faber Castell Polychromos 

Paper & Fussy Cut Skeleton: POLKADOODLES BONESHAKIN’ HALLOWEEN PACK  

Sentiment: POLKADOODLES WINNIE WEDNESDAY CLEAR STAMPS

Dies: Spellbinders Nesting Labels – Tattered Lace ‘Graveyard’ – Concord & 9th ‘Rain or Shine’ Umbrella - Cobweb

The Rest: Confetti Bat – Purple Vellum – White Embossing Powder

 

So please join us as it is always ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist and just look at what you could win….
