Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Interactive Birthday

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge and the theme, as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make a Birthday card with an interactive element.  I found one of the Little Monsters in my stash - Fuzzpea and I've coloured him with Promarkers and added him to the inside of the card after cutting a hexagon to the front of the card and then cutting each part as shown in the photos below.

I covered the inside of each flap with offcuts of papers from Ho Ho Ho Christmas 6x6 stack (I keep all the little bits I don't use on projects because you never know when you might need them!)

The sentiment I used can be found here in the store.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Hoppy Birthday

Here is a cute Cuddly Critters Rabbit from Dr Digi - coloured with Promarkers and layered onto a vellum circle.  I'm still trying to use up all my off-cuts of printed papers - this one is Little Monsters download from Polkadoodles.

I've handwritten the sentiment.  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Lots of Green

It's time for a new Polkadoodle Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use Lots of Green and I've used some of my ink sprays - a rather green one and then a silver one over the top after the green had dried.  I've embossed the panel with a Sizzix folder and then layered the image on the top.

I've used the Little Monsters Fuzzpea digi, coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is from the messages bundle.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or 3 or More Papers

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The Design Team were challenged to use 3 or more papers so I've gone for the Little Monsters download and I've coloured the image with Promarkers.  The papers are all from the same collection and I've just added black card from my stash as a back layer.

I had to be creative with the papers as they were all scraps from previous projects and none were big enough to fill the whole card!  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Daring Card Makers - Masked Magic

Time for a new challenge over at Daring Card Makers and this week the challenge is

Masked Magic

I did try some masking with stamps but it went very wrong so decided to do something digitally using one of the monsters from the Little Monsters download collection from Polkadoodles.  I used a free editing software and overlaid one of the papers from the collection then 'rubbed out' elements - his horns, eyes, arms and legs.

I've then coloured these with Promarkers for a bit of depth.  The blue papers are also from the download bundle and I've added a star bunting die cut plus half pearls, cocktail stick and handwritten sentiment.

Edited to add - the free software is Be Funky and I used the layers bit and 'rubbed' out the bits I wanted to stay white.  Just have a play around!

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge Week 3 - Blog Candy

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

We don't have a sponsor this week but we are giving away some blog candy as a prize!  I've used one of the very cute Little Monsters download bundle from Polkadoodles, coloured her with Promarkers plus added some glitter glue.  The background paper is also from the bundle along with the sentiment.

I've made a little sign with a cocktail stick for the sentiment and the charm and embroidery thread are from my stash.  The die is an unbranded metal die.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Green Monster

And here is another monster from Polkadoodles - spotty papers and monster from the Little Monsters download kit.  I've coloured him with Promarkers plus found some wonderfully matching green card in my stash.  Buttons and half pearls are also from my stash.  I've cut out the image and layered it using the Stitched and Pierced dies also from Polkadoodles.

Monster Party!

Another cute Little Monster from Polkadoodles!  Everything you see here (with exception to the glass beads!) have been printed from the download kit - all the images, the sentiment and the paper.  I've coloured the images with Promarkers and I added extra bubbles to the top left corner,

I've added glass beads from my stash and used the stitched and pierced circles dies on the two corners.

Got My Eye On You!

How cute is this monster - from Polkadoodles Little Monsters download kit.  I've coloured him with Promarkers and added papers from the kit plus the speech bubble and sentiment from the same kit.

The fancy card edge has been cut with the Scenic Landscape die also from Polkadoodles.  Nice and quick and cute but scary at the same time!
