Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Fabric

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a lovely Easter Sunday and had lots of yummy treats! I did lots of crafting yesterday and lots of relaxing and I am looking forward to having another day off today and hope to fit in a bit more crafting! Monday is Pollycraft Challenge day and our theme this week has been set by the lovely Lou and she has chosen...

FABRIC!

She would like to see fabric on your cards, either felt, twine, raffia, ribbon, linen...the choice is yours!
I have used the lovely Celeste Amberglow 'Farmin' apples' on my card who is available here from Pollycraft.
I coloured her in with Promarkers to match my gorgeous October Afternoon papers and added a Whiff of Joy sentiment stamped on Kraft.

I added fabric to my card in the form of Bias binding which is available here from the Ribbon Girl. I ironed it out so it looked frayed before adding it to my card. I finished with some lovely flowers, a charm from The Hobby House and a tiny button I bought at the NEC.
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. The prize this week is a £10 voucher from Sew Sweet!! Make sure you check out their shop full of yummy ribbon and felt! :)
Make sure you take a look at the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the Pollycraft DT.
Have a lovely Monday!

Birthday Cupcakes from Celeste Amberglow

Good Morning! I have a card to share with you today which I made using some of my favourite things! I am totally in love with these gorgeous October Afternoon papers! I love the colours and that checked pattern is just wonderful! I have used some of my favourite gingham bias binding from The Ribbon girl but have ironed it out to make is wide and a bit distressed on the edges. The pale blue ribbon I used is from Whiff of Joy and it was the perfect match for the gorgeous resin rose.

The image I have used is called Cupcake Party and coloured her in shades of pink and red to match my papers adding glitter accents with Stickles. I cannot remember where the sentiment stamp is from but it is one I use often as it is so versatile! I kept the layout quite simple and then added gems as a finishing touch. Have a lovely Friday!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Ribbons and Buttons

Good Morning Everyone! I'm a bit late today with my Pollycraft post as I'm still recovering from my trip to the Stitches Craft Show in Birmingham. I had a fabulous time seeing all the gorgeous new products and met up with some of the girls from Quick Cards for lunch, had a lovely chat with Clare Curd and watched Tim Holtz doing some demos, there was so much gorgeous stash to see, it's lucky I couldn't buy anything! I have a day off work today and lots to do and hopefully I will manage to fit in a bit of crafting too! Today is Pollycraft Challenge day and this week the lovely Lynsey is challenging us to use Ribbons and Buttons on our creations and I have used the newly released Celeste Amberglow on my card and coloured her to match these gorgeous October Afternoon papers.

The ribbon I have used is from The Ribbon Girl as is the spotty button and I have used a crochet flower which has been in my stash for ages! The sentiment is from an old stamp set. I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge.

This week we have a fantastic prize from our own lovely Paula from Pollycraft who is offering 10 digis for the winner!

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the DT!

Have a lovely Monday!

There are 6 new Celeste images available from today in the Pollycraft shop and each one is just as cute as this one I have used to make an Easter card. with some papers from October Afternoon and a beautiful checked ribbon from The Ribbon Girl.
