Polkadoodles Design Team Card....

Hello lovelies,

 

Well it has got to Friday again, which means we have another fantastic challenge over at the

 

POLKADOODLES CHALLENGE BLOG

 

The theme this week is

 

'What's The Word Bird'...

 

make something with a feathery friend on!

 

I have used the CANDY DOODLES COLLECTORS EDITION CD for my card. I have also used a MARIANNE DESIGN DIE but I wanted to use it in a different way this time, so I have used the negative and embellished it with perfect pearls. I have printed the birds and tree scene from the cd and coloured in using Promarker's in shades:

 

Lemon ~ Gold ~ Pastel Yellow ~ Canary ~ Apricot ~ Blush ~ Spice ~ Caramel ~ Putty ~ Tea Green ~ Lime Green ~ Grass ~ Leaf Green ~ Ice Grey 1 ~ Cool Grey 1 ~ Lipstick Red ~ Poppy

 

The edges have been inked using Distress Ink Peeled Paint.

 

Here is my card...

 

 

I love this image, the birds are so cute!

 

Myself and the rest of the design team would love to see your creations.

 

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love

To help celebrate the birthday I have made a Birthday Card....

Ingredients I have used...

Spellbinder's Grand Nestabilities Grand Big Scalloped Circles

Marianne Design Flowers LR0131

Polkadoodles Pretty Sweet Mini CD

Cream Cotton Lace

Distress Ink Vintage Photo

Silver beads, made with love charm and pins.

How I made it...

I used the grand nesties to make my card blank, making an easel card. I decided on three papers, as it's the 3rd birthday I wanted to use three of each item. So I have used three papers, lace, flower, beads and pins. I inked all the edges with the distress ink. I cut the smaller scalloped circle in half, scrunched both halves up and then concertina folded them both to give some added texture to the base of the easel and the main image. I finished by adding a greeting to the base and the main card!

I hope you like this Special Birthday card.....

it's an exciting occasion and I'm proud to be on the Polkadoodles Design Team...(it's my dream come true) and be able to help them celebrate their 3rd Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday from me to everyone at Polkadoodles....wooooo hooooooo!

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love
