Serenity Fairy Joyful polymer stamp-showcasing for Polkadoodles

My latest card for Polkadoodles is called Serenity Fairy Joyful and is so whimsical and dainty.
I used the largest 2 dies from PD Craft Die-Stitched Circles for around the image as well as an accent color.  What I like about these dies is that EACH circle has a different type "stitch" around the outer edge.  Makes them really pop!
Off-setting the circles, it gave me a base for the flowers around Serenity.  I used Dies Super Sprigs and Flower Flourish:
The PD paper pack that I used is amazing called Adalene French Vintage Craft Papers-done in soft plums and vintage prints. I love using papers made in the UK in addition to the ones I have normal access to--such variety! The sentiment is from PD Spring Rose stamp set.

Serenity was colored using all Copic Markers and here is the List:
Skin: R000, R00, R01, R02, RV10, R81
Hair: E41, E42, 43, 44
Dress: Y21, YR31
Butterflies: BV01, B91, Lavender Stickles
Flowers: Gelly Roll 10, Gold Liquid Pearls

Thank you everyone for looking at my latest card project-there's many more to come!

 Hello Dressy Fans!

Wendy, our artist in residence, has been working hard to bring us a fabulous selection of new release images this month. 
As ever, she has not forgotten that Mother's Day (Mothering Sunday) is celebrated in the UK , the home of ADU, on 31st March and there are some new designs that will be perfect for this occasion. All these beauties are available now in the Etsy Store

The Image that I'm using for the new release is called Busy Street and there are so many variations of the same image being highlighted on the blog.  I used copics creating different store fronts-like coloring your own town!

There also a navy satin ribbon & bow that runs under the image.  On the inside I used the purple and black harlequin paper again, using a celebration stamp with some bling.

Always Anything Goes at Craft Your Passion-Using Lacy Sunshine Image AND DT call!

 We always get so many creative images at Craft Your Passion to use in our DT posts!  This week is no exception with one from Lacy Sunshine called "Charlie's Flower".  Such a cutie! 
My daughter's favorite flower is a daisy, no matter what color!  So I had such fun coloring this one up and even put Lemon Ice Stickles on the center for a bit of Sparkle, even put some stickles on her wings!  Lacy Sunshine images are often intricate but the final effect is awesome.  After finding some papers that coordinated, I added some Pebbles Candy Dots in a sparkly glitter down in the corner.  Love the effect of the intersecting circle die cut! On the inside liner I used a mat that I stamped with a KKS sentiment.  Always great to have some uplifting messages to send your friends. 
We always get some great sponsors over at Craft Your Passion so if you think you may be interested in joining us come and visit!  There's a DT call out right now that lasts until the end of August-we'd love to see you there!

Sasayaki Glitter now has a new member on their Inspiration Team!

 I've just joined the Inspiration Team of Sasayaki Glitter and am looking forward to exploring her wonderful Digi Etsy store found HERE and finding all sorts of images to play with! 
The image I used on this snowy card is called "So Cold" and is so appropriate for these past few days here in Illinois, cold, windy, snowy and blowy!  And yet, it's supposed to be in the 60's this weekend! Yep! Illinois!
After coloring her with copics, I used chunky white Frantage scattered over & surrounding her and piled at the bottom-I LOVE the look of this snow.  I trimmed the edge of the 2/3 cut front with glittered snowflakes and glued a Memory Die snowflake edge trim to the backside.  I've tried to open it a bit so you can see the overlay better.  So delicate!  On the inside, is a beautiful dark blue design paper with white swirls all over it-for sure snow!  Found a perfect Birthday sentiment to go along with it for the "lucky" people with those wintery special days!
Well be watching for additional posts that will showcase Images from this adorable site.  They will just inspire you!

I've definitely moved things around on the design but I really like how I've drawn attention to the main focus-Kenny's image!   Used dotted swiss cardstock for some texture, copics for the coloring, circle die-cut up on pop dots for dimension, finished up the inside with complimentary green design paper and a stamp from my stash.  Hummm.....wonder what my granddaughter is up to???  Thanks for stopping by and remember to get an entry in on our 2 week challenge-any image will work, just follow the sketch!  See you there!
