My Besties Pumpkin Card

 Hello Everyone,

This weeks card is made using My Besties Digi stamp Lil Rosie IMG 744. 

I set to work designing the pumpkin shaped base card using my Silhouette designer software. 

I coloured the digi stamp using my Promarkers and then cut out multiple copies to create decoupage. 

Once the decoupaged stamp was layered up I used my glitter gel roll pens to highlight parts and for the centre of the sunflowers I used black Flower Soft.

I used Anita's 3d gloss to highlight the wording and also the spider body and finished using crystal gems to create the eyes of the spider.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Happy Birthday

 Hi Everyone,

Well its a been a busy few weeks so I havent had chance to make many cards. 

But I did get round to making this one!

 Using my Serif Craft Artist software and the images from the lovely digikit from the Victoria Nelson Occasions Collection, I set to work designing my card. 

I started by using one of the frames from the kit and and the cup and saucer image and centralising them on my page. 

Using all the lovely images of flowers in the kit I deciding to arrange them around the cup so it looks like it overflowing with pretty blooms. 

I cut the flowers out multiple times to create decoupage and finished by higlighting them with glitter. 

Hope you like it and I will hopefully see you next week with a new card!

Happy 4th Birthday Sienna

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card for my niece Sienna. 

She loves unicorns..... so I luckily found the perfect craft cd from My Craft Studio called beleive in the magic. 

I set to work by creating the base card using my Silhouette cameo design software. 

I then cut all the layers out from the various backing papers from the cd. 

To finish the image I added plenty of glitter to the unicorns maine and I though it was kind of cute to add 3d gloss to the eyes, stars and hooves.

I am going to enter the card in the following Polkadoodles challenges:

Happy Birthday Eli

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card for my nephew Eli.

He loves Spider Man so I purchased some designs from Etsy and got to work making my card. 

I purchased a spider web doily from the Silhouette design store, by designer Tanya Batrak.

I created an offset of the doily and designed my base card, I then mat and layered the base card with coordinating colours.

For the centre of the card I made a shaker frame and added blue and red sequins and finished the card with an handmade box. 

I hope you like my creation!
