Digi Choosday Challenge – Flower Frenzy!

Good morning all!  Hope you are well!

It is Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this time is Flower Frenzy! A chance to go a little floral mad people!! As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! You ONLY have 24 hours so be quick!! 

My make this week is a sample I made for the launch of the WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES SPRINGTIME BUNDLE on Create and Craft. It is one of my diorama/shadow box/theatre card thingys (not its real name) and if you want to see how I made it see below.

So here is my VERY simple tutorial (emphasis on the ‘simple’ AND the 'very').

Cut 2 pieces of printed card using a large die – approx. A5 in size.

 On the 2 shortest sides score both pieces of card at 1.5cm and 2.5cm. On your front panel fold the edges away from the patterned side (mountain then valley) and for the back panel fold towards the patterned side (valley then mountain).  Using a die to create an aperture in the front panel.

 Stick the edges together using wet glue, holding it together with teeny pegs (LOVE teeny pegs) until secure.

Stick on your bits and bobs and there you go!

Told you it was simple. J

Ingredients:

Image Colouring: LYRA REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR PENCILS

Colours used: Skin: 2, 80, 89, 82, 32 + 27 – Hair: 99, 98, 97, 96 – Blue: 58, 55, 54 – Pink: 33, 27, 29 – Green: 67, 68

Colouring Card: Neenah Desert Storm

Printing Card: Super Smooth

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Large Decorative Rectangles’

Others: Stickles
