Cat in a Hot Air Balloon 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. I'm loving creating with their gorgeous images, papers and sentiments. 

For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

Fuzzypuffs - Jasper Balloon

I created the sky with my Distress Oxide ink (Broken China I think) and then sprayed it with water. I fussy cut the kitty's head and all the little banners to have them paper pieced on top of the image. I popped them all up on foam tape.

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm so excited to tell you that I've decided to join the Polkadoodles Design Team. I've been doing a little GDT spot for a few challenges but they asked me to continue and I just adore their images so I couldn't resist. They 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. 


For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products:

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - fave animal and why - well, I hate to admit but I don't love dogs but they are so cute to create with and my mum absolutely adores dogs, she minds them for a living so whenever I make a card for her I "must" make a dog card for her. I love this dog image too.

Circular Hello Girl card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have had this gorgeous Little Miss Muffet image coloured up for a while now and I'd accidentally printed her really small. I also didn't leave a huge amount of space around her when I printed her up with other images so I wasn't quite sure how to make her look bigger than she is. Building die cut circles around her and a big sentiment I think has helped and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Next time she'll be a lot bigger hehe. I only used white and black cardstock for this, I used my distress oxide inks to make the blended colours (I think I used Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick).
