Serene Spring

This week Enfys, is the leader for our Polkadoodle challenge theme. Our challenge was to create a project using any shade of blue, aqua and purple but, we had to use all colours. I used embellishments to capture all the required colors in this card.

The digital paper is from the Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD by Polkadoodles. The digital felt flowers, fiber and antique brads add dimension without bulk. You can download these elements for free by clicking here.

The main stamped image is from the 'Serene Spring' stamp set by Stampin Up. I colored the image with Copics and added Crystal Effects.

To play along in this week's Polkadoodles 'color theme', simply make a project and post it to your blog or another on-line gallery and link it to the Polkadoodles Challenge Blog. Prizes are waiting to be won!

Challenges I participated in: Inspire Me Fridays - Always anything goes, Paper Cutz - Anything goes, Stamp Something - Things with wings.

For You Gift Bag

So today, I have a project using a lunch size paper bag. Rather then doing a card this time, I decided that it would be fun to do something 3D. Here's a gift bag featuring the sentiment 'Just for You' from the Hip Hip Hooray stamp set by Creative Vision.
