Daring Card Makers Challenge - April Elemental Inspiration

It's time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme this week, as it is the first Friday of the month is an elemental inspirational theme:

Don't forget that you need to use at least three elements in your creation, colour counts as one choice.

I've used cloud, rain drops, rainbow and wording.  I've used a Polkadoodles Fluffy Clouds die and then made a shaker card with some seed beads I had in my stash.  The sentiment is one I've had for lifetime and is from There She Goes and the rainbow paper is from Funky Hand - Keep In Touch download which is no longer available.

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

Polkadoodles Challenge - Reveal Card

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

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make a reveal card, which is something I've never made, so after a bit of thinking and moving papers round, I came up with this!

I've used the ice-lolly from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles, coloured with Promarkers plus added glossy accents on the top chocolate layer and then dropped lots of random seed beads to look like sprinkles.  I also used the cloud paper from Winnie Celebrations 1.  I've used the fluffy cloud dies for extra interest on the card and also as part of the actual reveal.

To cut the reveal window, and the slot from which the pull tab exits, I've used the Door / Window / Flap die and I hand wrote all the sentiments.

And the pull tab reveals:

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

Good Luck To Ewe

This is probably one of my favourite Dr Digi stamps - Flossy who has been coloured with Promarkers.  I've handwritten the sign on a scrap of kraft card and found some fence die cuts in my stash.  The cloud dies are from Polkadoodles and they have been cut from scrap card.

The grass is a die cut and I've had to carefully join it up as it wasn't long enough for the card base!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Beach Theme

It's time for a Polkadoodle challenge and its an Anything Goes challenge!  The DT were asked to make a beach or sea themed project without using a character and to use more than one fold!

I've used the cloud paper from Winnie Celebrations 1 plus the fab ice lolly from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection and the sentiment is from the same collection.  I've coloured the lolly with Promarkers and added some seed beads to the top to look like sprinkles.  I've added some extra clouds using the Fluffy Clouds die, cut from offcuts of card and added with foam pads for extra depth

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

Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Go Tropical

There is a new challenge starting over on Daring Cardmakers  and the theme for the week is

Go Tropical

I've used some cute dies from Polkadoodles - Winnie Chic for the body, back hair piece and flowers; Winnie Ballerina for the front hair (I snipped a bit off) and also for the base of the dress.  I made the dress using little pieces of raffia ribbon that I snipped and then ruffled up.

The branches are an unbranded die, and the die used to cut the sand is also from Polkadoodles - Scenic Landscape and the Fluffy Clouds too.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Spring / Summer

Welcome to a new Polkadoodle challenge!  The theme as always is

Anything Goes

However the DT were challenged with the theme of Spring / Summer.  I've made this cute mermaid using the Winnie Ballerina die for the body and Winnie Chic die for the hair.  I've added random seed beads from my stash, sticking them with glossy accents and then sprinkled fine glitter over the top.  I've also added some tiny bows from the Ballerina die to her hair and an iridescence flower I also found in my stash.

The clouds have been cut from offcuts of card and the waves are the negatives from the edge shape dies which are no longer available.

Ribbon from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or New Beginnings

It's Friday so time for a new Polkadoodle challenge!  The theme, as always is:

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged with a theme of New Beginnings.  I've used Winnie Celebrations 2 kit and coloured her up with Promarkers then cut her out.  The papers are also from the same collection and I had to be clever with piecing them together as they were left overs from a previous project but as I don't like to throw anything away, they were going to get used!

I've also used the Fluffy Cloud Dies - generally to hide the paper joins!  And to finish, I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card with a black fine liner pen and the organza and satin ribbons are from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!
