Polkadoodles Crafts Digi Choosday Christmas | Use Red and Green

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Crafts. This fortnight the team had the Challenge of simply Christmas theme and to use Green and Red. Not too hard, if I'm honest. I embellished a little bit with other colours.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

The extra thing is that I had a play with Ohuhu Honolulu - pastel collection. I did add 2 Copic markers as I just really wanted a little bit more contrast. It was my first play. I think I might ask Santa for a set. My friend only had the 48 set so colours were more limited.

 

Product List Below 

Baked With Love - Stocking Filler BWLd7

 

Ohuhu Markers Honolulu 48 pastel

White - CG01 Cloud Grey and 0 Blender marker

Red - R24 (Copic) and R27 

Green - YG17(Copic), G47 and G34

Gingerbread man - Started with CG24 and YGY02 and YGY13

Later changed to E92, Y69 and CG24

Purple - V14, V22 and B21

Yellow - E26, Y45 and Y02

Gingerbread Trim - V14 and RV25

Sign - BG310 and G34

 

Green cardstock from my stash

Multiliner Black marker 0.5

Gelly Roller 10

Glossy Accents 

Stardust Stickles

Clear Sequins 

 

It turned out quite bright for a pastel collection but no doubt that was me as Copics are usually quite bright.

 

Oh Noooo I have to keep playing.... how will I cope...? ;)  

That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

Polkadoodles Craft Digi Choosday Bee Cute | Coloured with Copics add Vellum

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Crafts. Digi Choosday has a new challenge again. This time the design team was given the challenge to use vellum or Acetate. I thought it would be cute to give the Bee and gnome some vellum wings.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

I chose not to use a sentiment for this card. I didn't think it needed it and it means you can use it for different events.

 

For the wings I traced the outline of each wing, so they each had 4 wings, and cut it out leaving an extra long end so I can adhere it to the back of the image. Made a slit the length of the wings and slipped the vellum through. A mutli liner pen over the vellum finishes off the hair and gives the impression some of the hair being in front of the wings. Finish with some stardust Stickles over the wings.

Behind the vellum the wings are slightly coloured with BV01 and BG11

Polkadoodles Crafts Surprise! Winnie Celebrations | Adding dimension to pre coloured Images

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Crafts. The challenge theme this week Landscape Cards. I choose to use an image from the Winnie Celebration collection called "Surprise!"

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

If  you were new to colouring or not interested in colour (me...a colourist says HOW? ;D lol) a pre-coloured image is perfect! Polkadoodles Crafts has pre coloured and black and white images. The pre-coloured images can sometimes be rather flatly coloured, NOT Polkadoodles so much dimension in their images that you don't have to do anything! However, you can, if you want, add more detail. Which makes them perfect for beginner colourist! You can start as simple as using cool greys or warm greys ( cool for colours like blue and purple and green, warm for reds, yellows and oranges) or take it further to matching the colours. I tend to use browns deepen reds or give extra detail to hair.

 

 Added details like white gel pen on polka dots add even more and take it to the next level.

Using pencils mean you can add very fine details, like deepening a cats markings or the lines on a party hat or even adding "fur"

 

I added the fur using a medium coloured brown trying to match it with the dogs fur and lightly doting the area. By doing quickly it gives you tiny dash lines and I found it didn't always mark the image so not too dark. You don't want the dashes to be very long. It won't look right.

Polkadoodles Craft Whats The Buzz - Bee Buzzy Gnome Digi Stamp | Fun Fold | Prismacolour Pencils

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Craft called What's the Buzz- Bee Buzzy Gnome.

This fortnights' theme is Birthday Card with a Different Fold.

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 6.2 x 9.3cm (2 7/16 x 3 5/8) 

Small Matt 6.8 x 9.8cm ( 2 5/8 x 3 7/8) 

Larger Matt 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 13/16 x 5 9/16) You need 2 of these.

 

This card is super simple. Using a standard card base, cut diagonally from the top left down to the bottom right. You will also do this with one of the larger matt pieces. This will give you an edge once you apply the triangled piece to the flap of the card front. 

 

Take another card base that is folded and you will cut this at 7.3cm or 8 1/4" ( please remember this is based on A4 piece of card. American card bases are different from AUS and I think the UK. Not sure about Europe. AFTER you have applied the second large matt that is not cut into a Triangle (one is a triangle and the other standard Rectangle) you can glue the smaller card onto the "inside" of your base card. Just make sure that it move nicely as you open it. Then decorate it.

Emma Puenktchen Walliebe | Whale Love | Polychromo Pencils

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Emma Puenktchen. It is my last project on the Design Team and I really wish them the very best and I have loved using their images.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16)

Bottom of Whale

Cold Grey III 232,  Cold Grey V 234 and Black 199

 

 

After cutting my cardstock down to fit the front of my card I used a Circle die to make the aperture (I used a stitched one just so I have a nice stitched circle to play with in the future, that is all) I inked the Ocean Waves Stamp with Versamark and used clear Embossing Ink . The background is then inked with Faded Jeans so it would have a slightly darker bottom than the top.

 

The inside of the circle is sponged with Weathered Wood and the clouds are stamped with the same ink. I wanted a patchy image for my clouds so a Distress Ink worked really well. I have used two Copics colours and  a white Gel Pen to enhance the background, including swipes of C1 alone. 

 

Walliebe is coloured with Polychromo Pencils. The sentiment was a pre foiled sentiment. I couldn't find it on Spellbinders, so hopefully it isn't discontinued as I really love it.

 

I think I have covered everything, Thank you for your time I really appreciate it.
