Polkadoodles - Colour Palette Challenge - Anything Christmas

-

 Morning Everyone,

I’m back to share some festive inspiration, Can you believe it is the 25th October!!!!!!!, 

For this challenge the design team were tasked to use a particular colour palette being:

 

  For my card I’ve used the Gift Tree Gnome festive fun digital image - 



I’ve coloured using my alcohol markers keeping to the colour palette. For the star and the bell, I’ve added some glossy accents to give some dimension and shine.

For my background I used digital papers from the Cactus succulentdigital papers - I printed the green, yellow, off white, and dark pink papers and cut a load of ¼ inch strips to make a striped background. For the light pink strip, I used the light pink paper from zodiac papers 3 No. 11. 

To complete the card I used the ‘You are a gift’ sentiment from the Winnie celebrations 2 digital download 

I also added some sequins and heart drops from little things by Lucy's cards.

Hope I have inspired you all and can't wait to see what the other designers have created and of course what challenge submissions we get, 

Happy Crafting! Mel x

Polakdoodles - Critters/animals

Morning crafters, today I've created a card with the DT theme of Critters/animals. Since I adore cats, I could not help but use  Mod the cat . In order to create my scene, I also used the chair , rug and picture frames from  Build a scene .  For the images inside the pictures, I used the butterfly from  Tropical sorbet bundle , the vase of blossoms from the  Blooms 4 bundle  and last but not least the Bear from  Bella Bear with Heart .  For my background, I used  the yellow floral paper to create wallpaper  from pretty spring papers and for the floor I used  brown textured paper  from the cactus succulent printable papers.  I coloured the images using my spectrum noir alcohol markers and finished the card using the sentiment 'I'm so sorry' which is from the  Winnie Daisy quotes and sentiments bundle .  I think the card just shows you how versatile all the different images and bundles are from Polkadoodles and sho...

Polkadoodles - Mermaid/Ocean - using a specific colour palette

  Good Morning everyone, this morning I bring to you an infinity shaker card which I have created with the theme of Mermaid/Ocean and using a specific colour palette. I started my project by working on the background, which I ink blended using distress oxide inks using the above colour palette. I sprayed with water giving an oxidized effect which looks like bubbles. For my image, I used  Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - Octopus Kisses , as you can see the image also matches the suggested colour palette. It was almost as if this image was made for this challenge. For my sentiment I used 'You are my rock' from the  Winnie Mermazing Mermaid quotes . I hope you all love this project as much as I do.  Happy Crafting!

   Morning Crafters, It's choosday which means it is time to enter our 'Anything Goes Challenge' over at  Polkadoodles Digi Choosday .  Remember to check out the blog for full details and to grab your code to receive a very generous discount from the  Polkadoodles shop . For this weeks design team brief we were asked to create a project for the theme of 'Just Because' For my project I have chosen to create a card.  Just Because cards are my favourite to make as the recipient is never expecting it and they always have the biggest smile on their face when they open the card. I have chosen to make a square card using the  Winnie Wednesday Bat Dog Pre- coloured image . Using Canva I first created a spider web which I then coloured half of it in very bright colours and then for the right half of the spider web I chose to colour with Grey and black tones. Some of you will know where I got my inspiration from with a certain popular TV Series that recently air...
