WE LOVE TO CREATE CHALLENGE #2 ANYTHING CREATIVE MIXED MEDIUM GOES WITH POLKADOODLES XXX

Hi there crafters out there, it is time for a Brand New Challenge over at the We Love To Create Challenge Blog....are you ready for it.....sponsored by the amazingly talented Polkadoodles!!

So what do I have in store for you for this challenge...

I was so sick of the rain, the hard winds feeling like it is Autumn, so I decided to create a Feel like Spring card, I started with a piece of cardstock and folded it in 3 pieces and colored it with different soft colors of distress inks.

When the first layer with distress ink was dry I went over it with gesso and I used my brayer to distribute it well over my background. I did this to make the colors even softer then they were..... Then I went over it again with the light colors of the distress ink. After that I stamped a flower from the Pretty Perfect Stampset and a few butterflies were stamped, they are from the Flower Collage Stampset, don't you just love them? I colored the flower and the butterflies with the same light colors to make them fit onto my card

What I also did on the background was I used the stencil from the Flower Collage Stencil and Around the flowers I used a fineliner to make them POP out more....so what do you think? Did it work?

And do you see all the little dots? I thought it would be nice to place some dots from the Snowflake Border Stencil on my background to make it more playfull.....and offcourse I had to surround my card with the doodles from the Flower Collage stampset

So here is my finished card, I sure hope that you like my card and I hope that I can give you some inspiration with my card. I had loads of fun creating my card. I can't hardly wait untill you show yours.....

The products that I have worked withe are:

Hi there crafters out there,

Happy New Year everyone, is time for a Brand New Challenge over at the We Love To Create Challenge Blog....are you ready for it.....sponsored by the amazingly talented Polkadoodles!!

So what do I have in store for you for this challenge...

I have made a farewell card for a colleque of mine. She is flying into a new adventure and therefor I have played with lots of vibrant distress ink colors and decided to work with the Collage Queen for a Day stampset and the Textures Gallore.

First I colored the background with lots of vibrant colors with Distress Ink....

Then I stamped the Vintage Text sentiment stamp onto the background

After I was finished and happy with how it looked, I stamped the Collage Queen for a Day stamp here and there on the background. And offcourse I stamped the Texture Galore Stamp in between the flying hearts.

When I was finished I used a fineliner to go all around my card and placed some stripes onto it. And in each heart I have written a small sentiment for her to read on her journey.......

I sure hope you like my card, I know for a fact my colleque likes it a lot lol....

WE LOVE TO CREATE CHALLENGE #9 ANYTHING CREATIVE MIXED MEDIUM GOES WITH POLKADOODLES XXX

Hi there crafters out there, it is time for a Brand New Challenge over at the We Love To Create Challenge Blog....are you ready for it.....sponsored by the amazingly talented Polkadoodles!!

So what do I have in store for you for this challenge...

I made an Autumn Butterfly card, the ones that know me figured it out allready, I admit I am a Butterfly Addict, cannot help myself the butterfly is an amazing creature and I just love them. That's why I made a card with butterflies for the Challenge from We Love To Create.....

I started out with a piece of cardstock...I colored it with Distress Oxides, purple, orange and blue/green colors. I was using my Brayer to devide the colors on the paper for the background. I spritzed the inks with water and dried it with my Heattool.

After that my background was dry I played with some Gesso. Again with the Brayer I devided the Gesso on the paper untill I thought it was ligt enough. I have been repeating this a few times.

After that, the background has been worked on with the Texture Galore, Honey Daisy and Vintage Text Stampsets. The Doodle Borders stampset is used all around my card.

So what did I do next.....I had a second piece of cardstock or actually aquarell paper and played with water and distress oxides and Gesso. Dried it up with my Heattool and than I stamped the Papillon butterfly on the paper with Versamark and embossed my butterfly.

When My butterflies were embossed with white embossingpowder I took a babywhipe and tipped a bit of the ink on it, with the babywhipe I colored some corners of the butterfly.

And here is the result. Than I played a bit with the Nuvo glitter Drops on the wings of the butterflies. And it gives them such a nice shimmer.

After that I took the Paperpack Sentimentals and searched for a matching sentiment. I than cut out the words and placed them randomly onto the card.

So this is my card from upclose. I sure hope you like it and hopefully I have given you some inspiration on how to make a similar card like this one.

The products that I have been working with are:

Vintage Text Stampset

Doodle Borders Stampset

Texture Gallore Stampset

POLKADOODLES CRAFTS AND UNIQUE STAMPS, TUTORIAL on How to create a VINTAGE INSPIRED CARD WITH TEXTURES

Hello there, today it is my turn, Terry, to give you some inspiration on the Polkadoodles Inspiration Blog. I have made a vintage looking card with lots of soft colors, made with lots of the newest stamps and stencil. How I made it I will show you in this Tutorial

I started out by cutting a 15 x 15 cm piece of paper. Here I started to work with some colors, divided the colors by spraying some water on it until I thought the colors were soft enough. At first I wanted to use all 4 colors, but in the end I used only 3 colors....

Before using the stencil, I first ensure that the paper has a layer of Gesso, wanted to "lighten up" the background color a bit.....

Then I thought that first I could stick some ripple paper on my background paper, then the pigment powder and with some water the colors ran nicely on the paper. I also used a paintbrush to "help" the water with the color run through the rest of the background.......

So finally I was ready to play with the Number Collage Stencil

Do you know that most crafters are busy with something and suddenly have in their head that it still needs a color? So I had that too lol.....I added some white paint on the background

and some crackle had to be added on there too. Then I grabbed the Vintage Text stamp and stamped it on different pieces with 2 different colors

The background paper was dry after I dried it with the Heattool, then I started stamping around with the Doodle Borders stamp

Did not think that that was enough so I took the Texture Gallore stampset en stamped on the background paper some more to fill in the blanks....

Did you know that Polkadoodles has just wonderfull Glue Pen? I played with it to glue my butterflies onto the card. It works really good I can tell ya that.....so if you do not have a Glue pen like this, you better purchase it cause it is just wonderfull......

So I had 4 butterflies from 2 different stampsets (Bella Fleur and Flower Collage Stampset) and colored with Distress Inks and placed some crackle on top of them, after I was finished I Glued them onto my card.......

From the Hello Friend stampset I stamped the sentiment Each New Day is Special and this one is no different, I cut it into pieces and glued it onto my card
