Distress Oxide Inked round girly card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge, woohoo!! I hope you'll join in as I love to see what you're all creating. Their challenge is always "anything goes" and you don't have to use one of their products. Nikky gives the DT a theme each time and this one was to create a round card.

For my card I have used a stunning image from the Darling Buds collection - she's called Crocus.

I die cut a white circle and scalloped circle and before I took them out of the metal die, I blended some oxide inks, sprayed lightly with water and dried off then took them out of the metal die which helped to give a crisp white edge to the dies. I used pinks and yellow Copics to colour her outfit and flowers for an orangy (is that a word hehe?) shade to them as well as the yellow and pinks. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Catch the Bug - anything goes 

Colour Crazy Challenge - anything goes W32

Spaghetti celebrations (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I've had this guy for the longest time but not got around to colouring him up until now. He's perfect for a masculine card isn't he? I ripped scrap papers and just glued them all down onto a scrap piece of paper then cut off the overhanging pieces, it's an easy but effective way to use up scraps (which is what I keep doing at the moment while I'm trying to get through my patterned paper stash). I wanted a little splash of colour so added in the red. You can find the Italian chef at The Paper Shelter.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

AllSorts - from boys to men

Aud Sentiments -  anything goes with a sentiment

Catch the Bug -  anything goes

Hip Hip Hooray, You're 6!! (Polkadoodles image)

Hi crafty friends,

I haven't been around much in Blogland as I've started an interior decoration course and although I love it, it's not giving me much spare time. I have so many cards to post here still so sometimes there'll be a lot less "talk" content on my posts but I think you're all here to see my card and not my ramblings so I think it's all good hehe.

Here's my card made with a sweet Polkadoodles image. I made the background with a Simon Says Stamp striped background stamp and then splattered similar colours on my image piece. I paper pieced her dress.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - anything goes with a sentiment 

Creative Craft Cottage - no patterned paper

Cute Card Thursday - Spots and dots 

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Sprinkling and Splattering - I used distress oxide inks & water to splatter.

The grass is greener with you patchwork card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been having a great time creating patchwork background card. It's so much easier than it looks and it's a perfect way to use up scraps. When I have more time I'll do a photo tutorial on it if anyone's interested? I got addicted to making them so I have heaps of cards made but I probably won't add them all to my blog unless they're very different from each other. Just like my last post I did with hexagon cards, I'll probably show a few on one blog post so you can see variations but I don't bore you with adding individual cards. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - for a girl plus a sentiment
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper  

Creatalicious -   anything goes with optional under the sea or Fairytale

Jo's Scrap Shack - anything goes

Lemon Shortbread - anything goes 
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - wild things (wild colours)

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - make your own background (I patchworked it)

Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes

Word Art Wednesday -   anything goes

Thank you so much for dropping by and extra special thanks to my lovely followers and visitors that leave some beautiful comments for me, they warm my heart.

Hexagon Kaisercraft teal papers

Hi Crafty Friends,

I started trying out some hexagon shapes on a card and ended up making lots of them with different size hexagons, it was so much fun and I love the end results! It's such a great way to use up scraps. 

I'm about to post a card with another great idea for using up scraps. I was getting fed up with having just a few bits of papers left over from paper pads or kits but I didn't want to just throw them out when they're such pretty papers. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - for a girl plus a sentiment

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper 

Creatalicious -   anything goes with optional under the sea or Fairytale

Jo's Scrap Shack - anything goes

Lemon Shortbread - anything goes 

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - make your own background (added all hexagons)
