Hippo Birthday!

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

I used an adorable Birthday Cake Helga Hippo digi image, coloured her with alcohol markers and then fussy cut it. The background paper is from Spring into Easter papers set 3. I stamped the sentiment with Sentimentals stamp set and heat embossed it. I also stamped some flowers here and there with Hearts and Flowers 1 stamp set and added a gentle stenciled area around the edges with Heavenly Circles stencil. Lastly I added a pink frame with alcohol marker, taped the patterned paper on white card base, added Helga and some half pearls. Super cute!

Stay strong

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Anything goes" with the optional twist "For the Ladies".

I used a Squats image and coloured it with alcohol markers. Then I die cut it (down part - the upper part I fussy cut) and added a little bigger die cut circle under it.

The background paper is from Punk Lolly paper pack and I added a little Distress inks and black Sharpie on its edges before taping it to the card base. The letters are die cut and I heat embossed the "strong" letters with glittery black embossing powder.

I was quite lost at some point with this card, but I think it turned out great. There's a bit of masculinity and femininity and even though it looks quite simple I used multiple techniques on it.

Here you can see the glittery embossing powder little better.

Life is a wonderful celebration

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

This time I wanted to do some stenciling. I started with white cardboard and added flowers with Wildflower Meadow stencil and paste I coloured with Distress Inks. Then I added a few more layers of flowers with Distress Inks positioning the stencil differently each time. When I was happy with the flowers I coloured the background also with inks and added some glitter spray.

Then I stamped the sentiment with Sentimentals stamp set on tracing paper and heat embossed it. I tore the tracing paper and taped it on the card. Lastly I added some Glossy Accents drops here and there.
