Birthday Boy with teddy (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

I had a lot of fun playing around with creating backgrounds. Firstly for the "squares" paper at the back I used black and two shades of teal to make it and it's so easy. Cut 1cm strips of the 3 papers, glue them down onto a scrap piece of paper in sequence and butting up right next to each other. Once you've covered as much as you need, turn it to the side and then cut 1cm strips again which will give you 1cm cubes. Then add the strips of cubes to another scrap of paper in an alternate sequence until you've covered again what you need. Then cut off any excess overhang so you have a perfect rectangle or square. I mounted it onto black cardstock. 

I used a sweet little boy from Bugaboo then before printing him out, I added a background stripey paper from Polkadoodles and then using my Word editing section I added a blurry green shadow around him. I think it turned out quite interesting, something a little different.

Kids on a Tyre Swing card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Polkadoodles have a new challenge just started on their blog, I hope you'll join in, you don't have to use one of their products but it'd be lovely if you do. 

Their challenges are always Anything Goes but the DT are given a theme and this time it's Outdoor Fun. I chose this incredibly cute image along with a sky background paper (I used the image in a PNG format so I could add the black & white image to the sky paper before printing then colouring them with my Copics). I change the colour of the Polkadoodles polka dot papers to any colour I choose before printing with my Word editing options. 

For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

Papers (polka dot and background sky) - Winnie Celebrations 1 - papers 2

Image - Winnie Special Moments

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays -  anything goes with optional twist: congrats

As you like it - Fave card shape/fold - most of my cards are square 6x6 as I find it's the perfect size and shape to add scenes or lots of patterned papers.
