Pancake Day

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊
 
I decided to use this adorable Pancake Time image, coloured it with alcohol markers and added some highlights with white gel pen and white paint marker. 
 
I used the papers from Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 and sentiment from Pancakes and Waffles greetings bundle 2, designed the look with a text editor program and then printed them. I cut the purple paper with a cutting die, added acetate sheet on the backside and then foam tape on the edges (on the backside also). After I had checked that there were no openings on the foam tape line I added some glitter and confetti and added the background paper. 
 
When I taped the girl on the front it seemed to need something more so I added some precoloured images (honey and cherries) from Winnie Fruit Punch Embellies Bundle and "draining syrup" I made with Grungey Slime stencil, Distress Ink and Glossy Accents. 
 
Delicious!

Snowdrop maiden

Hi crafters!

Something new for a new year - this is my first post as a Moondrea Designs DT member. I'm thrilled 😊
 
And the first image I used is this beautiful Snowdrops Maiden. I coloured her with alcohol markers.

I wanted to keep the card otherwise quite simple, so I just added patterned papers, a few die cut flowers, acrylic diamonds and a sentiment.

Winter fun

Hello!

I'm honored to be a guest designer on Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 😊 The sponsors of the challenge are All Dressed Up Stamps and Colour of Love. Theme is "Anything goes" so come and join the fun!

I used a Feeding the Birds image by All Dressed Up Stamps and coloured it with alcohol markers. I die cut it, coloured the edges and added glitter. Then I added some snow with white paint marker.
 
The background I had done earlier with Distress ink pads and now I embossed and die cut it. I also die cut a little bigger blue cardboard and glued them together. Then I added some white stains/drops with acrylic paint and paint marker, some white die cuts and glitter on the edges.

Lastly I taped the image on the background with foam tape, added the snowman and the sentiment.

Happy winter!


 
Here you can see the glitter a little better.
