Polkadoodles Craft Digi Choosday HOT HOT HOT Summer | Soda Pop Boy

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Polkadoodles Craft. We have another challenge over on the Digi Choosday Blog. The Design Team was given the challenge theme of HOT,HOT,HOT Summer and with an extra challenge to use Lime, Orange and Hot Pink... so not me lol. The challenge was fun.

I've been inspired by a friend of mine in the last few months. She isn't on social media but I love her and she is brilliant at colouring with pencils. I know I could learn soo much from her is she wasn't on social media. In March she inspired me to use more of my pencils and I got a peak into her Holy Grail of colour combinations book!!!

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | One or More Butterflies

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Darkroom Door. It is a new month and the Challenge for you this month is One or More Butterflies over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog

 

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

Feature Panel Size 9.5 x 14cm (3 3/4 x 5 1/2) 

 

I must admit it is nice to have Darkroom Door back again. Yes, it isn't the original owner (who sadly passed away) but it is nice to see another stamp company surviving in these hard times for the craft industry. 

 

This card is fairly simple in design. I have stamped three different stamps and rotated the angle that I stamped them at. This will make it more random and natural. I added the bees to fill in gaps and for fun. They were a nice cute size.

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew Build a Garden October Kit.

 

 

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

Feature Panel Size 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

I deepened the shadows on both images using Polychromo Pencils. However, I changed the pencils from a Warm Grey (See above) and Cold Grey (See below) The difference doesn't come out as well as in person. Does it really matter in this case warm or cold... not really but I do prefer the warm grey tone.

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)

Top of Whale

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.

Hi All, Today card is using products from Emma Puenktchen

 

 

I will let you in on a secret... The "Brick" down the side was a happy accident. When I printed out this image I also printed out lined designer paper and the margins weren't set right. My own fault, but I decided to go with the flow and use it and I think I really like how it turned out. I used the top three black- Cold Grey III to add shadow on the left over rectangles to make a "Brick" look.
