Digi Choosday - Have a great Day - Colour Palette - CAS Card - Noodle Panda Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far......I cant quite believe it's the middle of May already !

Summer has definitely arrived here and we've been so busy lately with friends staying, trying to get gardening done and even a little walking in the mountains.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to make a card using the following colour palette

It's such a pretty set of colours, reminds me of ice cream flavours.... must be the heat LOL.  I decided to use one of the very cute images from the Noodle Panda Collection I know I probably shouldn't say but Noodle is probably my favourite character.   

I wanted to create 2 really simple cards at once (why make one when you can make two ) so started off with a strip of card roughly 1 1/2 " in width and then adhered 1/2 " strips of coloured card to this to create a striped patterned, then cut this strip in half adhering each of these, on an angle to a panel of white card that I had already printed the sentiment onto. 

Next I chose the sweet Gift Parcel Noodle, printing him out and colouring him with promarkers.  I decided to create 2 similar cards so resized the image to suit an A6 landscape card, flipping the image through 180 to create a different image.  

The colours used were coordinate with the colour palette, each of my pandas having a slightly different colour palette.

To finish  off my clean and simple cards I added some fun clay swirls around the design, white gelly roll pen highlights and clear sparkle to the presents bows.

 

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Flip Flop Signs - The beach is my happy place with Pattie's Creations

Happy Friday everyone I hope that you are all well and have had a lovely week.

The first Friday of the month marks the start of a new Challenge for December over on the Pattie's Creations Design Challenge blog 

The challenge runs from the first Friday of the month and its an Anything Goes challenge or our theme for July is Summer Fun, so as long as you use a digital or stamped image in your project, why not join in the challenge.

Winners of the challenge will receive 2 digital stamps of your choice from Pattie's shop.

Pattie has some wonderful digital stamps in her Etsy Shop pattiescreations and there is also a freebie every month on the blog that you can use in your project if you want to! 

For my July project, I chose  to use one of the beautiful Flip Flop Signs digital stamps to create a DL card (UK size). I wanted to create the look of a window in a cabin at the beach with the sign hanging in the window frame and I have to say I'm really pleased with how this card turned out.

 

I resized the image to suit my DL base card, printed it out onto alcohol marker friendly card stock before colouring with Promarkers and then fussy cutting out.

Next I created my beach scene by masking off sections and using distress inks to create the sky, the sea and then the sand. 

I added a slightly darker ink at the water line to show the wet sand and used a white gel pen to represent the water foam at the edge.  I added some dots of brown and sand coloured pen for the sand detail.

To create my window frame, I used a couple of nesting dies cutting a thin frame from a wood effect card and adhered this to the background scene before hanging my Flip Flip sign in the window.

To finish off the card I added some clear sparkle pen to the flip flop straps. 

I do hope that you like my card for today and don't forget to join in with this months challenge over on the blog.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Sending a rainbow of hugs

Hello everyone I hope that you are having a lovely day.

I am back today on my blog to share a very quick but bright and cheerful card that I've made simply using some card scraps.  

I was making an inky background for another project that Ill be sharing very soon and had some torn paper strips so decided rather than wasting them I would add them to a card to make this background.  

I love the effect and texture that the torn edges have given to the panel.

All it needed to finish off the card was a simple large sentiment which I have die cut in black card, the shadow layer behind has been cut from vellum.  I stamped the sub-sentiment and finally added a little bling.

Card recipe:

Distress ink - Picked raspberry, candied apple, carved pumpkin, fossilised amber, twisted citron

Simon Says Stamp hugs die & shadow layer

Simon Says Stamp - Garden Greetings stamps

Pinkfresh Studio essentials dies - diagonal stitched rectangles

Craftelier sequins
