More from the PolkaDoodle CD

Hi Everybody,

Here is another fabulous image from the Cherry Blossom Lane CD from PolkaDoodles  and if you pop over there you can buy any of Nikkys' CD'S for £9.99

But if you would like to win a copy along with other Goodies then HERE     is the link  ...  add your name to the list for the chance to win.

This cute character is one of those that have been pre coloured so nothing to worry about if you don't like to colour them yourself.

The beauty  of digital  images is that  you have the  option to re-size them if you wish  and  I have made  this one really large and printed  it off at  A4

He has been  added to some  Acetate and I have decoupaged the head, hat and right arm with the teddy.

I have also added three layers to the slippers to make them really stand out.

He then has a blue pom pom to the end of his night cap and pearl buttons on his PJ's

The  backing paper and the sentiment is also from the CD

I have added it them to the inside using eyelets to attach the paper to the Acetate and hidden the sentiment  behind the character

I have stood him alongside a 12" ruler so that you can see the size of the finished card.

But although he is large the card will still fit inside an A4 envelope and I bought mine from Cardcraft Plus  which is a UK based company.

I think he looks really special and what child wouldn't be delighted to get something like this.

But these images can be adapted for anybody and not just for kids.... I know a few Granddads that would love this

Another Spectrum Noir Tutorial...

Hi Everybody,

Click to Enlarge

Now here is a card with a difference and not one you would send out on a regular basis.

But having said that if you knew your recipient really well it would be sure to get a smile as a birthday card.

This one has been done for a Halloween Card and the image is from a Just Inklined   CD "The Next Big Thing"

To be honest I don't really know if it is still available or has been discontinued.

Any way the main reason for showing this is to tell you that there is a new tutorial out in the Colour Class Series using the Spectrum Noir Pens .

Colour Class - Reds   and in the video I have used the image that I thought was the cabbage .... Doh!!

Still I hope you will enjoy the tutorial as this seems to be the colour most people are a bit scared of.

New Card...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty cards is from the new PolkaDoodles   CD called  Cherry Blossom Lane and it is gorgeous.

There are some really fabulous characters, embellishments, flowers, sentiments and papers on their for all your digi crafting needs.

And this is just to wet your appetite because in a few weeks time  I am going  to be giving away ... to one lucky winner ... a CD of their very own.

And PolkaDoodles are bringing out a set of stamps that will coordinate with the CD ... for all you stamping experts.

Everything on this card is from the CD ... the image,  the scene, the sentiment and even the flowers.

All I have added in is the Bling to frame the image, the white ribbon, bow and button, and I have added in some flat backed  pearls to the centre of each flower.

So you will need to pop back regularly to see when it is on offer ... become a follower ... and then once the post goes live you can leave me a comment too.

Thinking of You ...

Hi Everybody,

It is very late in the day to be doing a Blog post but never the less here I am....

This is another Spellbinder card and this one us using the Labels 20 in the centre with the sentiment layered on top.

The other dies used are the Floral Doily Accents and Motifs.

I have used the border and created a central panel with Centura Pearl card which has been embossed.

Then I have double layered white satin and organza ribbon and wrapped it around the panel, and along that I have added in a line of pearls.  Pushed through the bow is a beautiful glass beaded Hatpin with a pink Rose in the centre of the glass.

The Labels 20 has the addition of matching pearl   "Bling" from Want2Scrap   and large pearls have been added to the centre of the bow and each of the corner pieces.

I have used foam pads to separate the layered the sentiment and the Labels 20 onto other parts of the floral Doily shapes to create the large panel that they all sit on.   The floral  paper is in a lovely shade of turquoise 

It has been matted and layered with white and turquoise card and an "A" frame created to display it... and it is an 8" card ... and have you noticed ... not a flower in sight !!
