For this card, I used 2 of the embellies from Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download and merged them together in GIMP to make one image, then I duplicated the image and flipped it so each new image was back to back.  Next I added A Gift Digital Stamp, which can be purchased on it's own or as part of Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download.


Then, I opened the image using my Silhouette software and made it larger, then traced it and cut it out with my Cameo after printing it first.  I used one of the design papers from Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download for the inside of my card, plus added a sentiment that I combined with a frame in GIMP and then cut with my Cameo.  Image is colored with Copics and I added embellies that I cut out of some of the design sheets from Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download.   I also added some lace.  Sure hope you like it!

April Showers Fable from Faery Ink

Hello everyone and Happy April! I'm here to share some Faery Ink  inspiration with you today. I am sure hoping April showers will bring May flowers, or at least that the showers will end soon. I feel like it's rained daily here since the beginning of this month. I am not a fan of rain, it makes me very sleepy. Anyway, I know you will join me this month in LOVING the fabulous images Amanda has created for us all.

For this month's inspiration project, I chose to play with April Showers Fable Digi Stamp which is available in the Faery Ink Shop. I really love this image, adored coloring it, especially being able to have fun with the way I did the raindrops and the background.


This is the inside of my card - I love this sentiment, it goes so perfectly with the image, don't you think?


Images is colored with Copics.
Hair: E59, E08, E19, YR21

Face: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R21

Lips: R24, R22

I colored all her clothes and umbrella with various combinations of the following E39, E37, E35, E33, E31, E30, RV99, RV69, RV66, R39, R37

I used several different cool greys for the sidewalk - C7, C5, C3. Raindrops done with B45 and B41 and then blended out with my water brush filled with Copic blending solution. Then I added Stickles to make them sparkly. I love the way they turned out:) I used B01, B00 and B000 for the sky and again used my water brush with the blending solution. Finally I added in the rainbow using really subtle shades of each color of the rainbow R01, YR00, Y00, G00, B00, BV00, V000. I have never been bold enough to add anything like this before, but I am becoming more confident in my coloring and attempting to try new things and I am really pleased with the results.

Sure hope you like my creation and hopefully it has given you some inspiration. Make sure that you visit the Faery Ink Shop to see all the wonderful images there, especially the most recent New Releases!! Also, come play along in our monthly challenge - to use flowers - and also don't forget about the special $1 offer on Kitty Fae and special challenge using Kitty Fae - you can check it all out at Faery Ink Facebook Group . Finally, our newest One Day Fae Giveaway starts 11pm on March 18, so make sure to come back to the Faery Ink blog to check that out!!

Digi Choosday Spring Colors challenge


Hello and welcome back!!  It's Tuesday, which means time for a New Challenge at Digi Choosday Challenge Blog!  Make sure to check out Polkadoodles Shop - Nikky's images are such fun to color and I love how you can purchase sets that include papers, sentiments, embellies, design sheets and more - so great to be able to do one stop shopping!

Today's New Challenge is Spring Colors.   Make sure you read the rules on the right sidebar at Digi Choosday Challenge Blog so that you can play along. Also, a new DIGI CHOOSDAY DISCOUNT is available until MIDNIGHT GMT so make sure you take advantage of that!!

You'll definitely want to check out both of our Newest Releases:  Lavender Tea Printables and Scrapbooking Download Collection and Lemonade Fizz Printables and Scrapbooking Collection - how awesome are these?!?  You can pick them up as Digital Downloads at Polkadoodles Shop or by clicking on the links above.




This week, I chose all the elements for my project this week from the Lemonade Fizz Download Collection.  Like all of the Polkadoodles collections, this collection provides unlimited options for all your paper crafting needs.  I chose to use the template for the watering can, papers, digis and sentiment from Lemonade Fizz Download Collection.   I included several different angles of my completed project so you could see all the embellies I added.




 Additionally, I used my Copics as watercolors when coloring these images and wanted to share a quick tutorial on how you can also achieve this effect.   You will need your markers, colorless blender ink and a water pen.  Fill the water pen with colorless blender, then begin coloring by saturating each small area you are about to color with the colorless blender ink and apply your Copics over it.  Start with your darkest color and move through to your mid-tones and then finish with the lightest.   Continue to go over the image with the water pen while you add other colors and blend out your coloring until you achieve your desired results.  You can always go back and add more of your darkest color at the end.




You don't need to worry about going outside the lines if you are cutting your images out.  Additionally, if you are not cutting your image out, but go outside the lines, you can always blend out later by doing a highlight around the image.



I hope you will come play along with us at Digi Choosday Challenge Blog.  Don't forget also to check out all the fabulous DT projects.  

Additionally, there's fun to be had and much inspiration to be gained over at Digi Choosday Facebook Group and Polkadoodles Facebook Group, so hope you will join both places if you haven't already, and if you have, pop by for a visit and come share your Polkadoodles creations!

THE CUTTING CAFE'S AWESOME NEW EASTER FILES and GDT

Hi everyone!  You may have noticed my absence here on my blog and on most social media for about a week.  Last Tues., March 15, my 2 female dogs had a horrible fight while I was home alone.  My one female almost lost one of her ears and both ears are shaved and stitched up like crazy and the top of her head is also shaved and stitched and she had to have a bunch of stitches in her nose too.  Luckily my other female only had a few surface wounds and did not require a trip to the vet.  Sadly, I was not so lucky, my leg somehow got stuck in between the dogs at some point during the fight - I do not remember it happening - and I wound up with 6 stitches on the front of my leg and 6 puncture wounds, 5 on the right side of my right leg and one on my back calf muscle.  It still hurts in places, but I can now walk without pain and my stitches come out on Weds.  Hopefully that will be the end of that and there won't be any further complications.

Anyhow, I do have some exciting news!!  I have been invited for a GDT stint at The Cutting Cafe and hint - I am hoping to stay longer than 3 months as I have always been a huge fan of the awesome cutting files, digi stamps, and digi sentiments and they now also carry clear stamps and a whole host of other amazing products, so make sure you check out The Cutting Cafe!

Today we have the DT showcasing our New Releases and they are so cute and just perfect for Easter.   Make sure you check out The Cutting Cafe Blog to see all the DT gals creations and all the different variations that can be created with the 3 new Easter Treat Cup Templates and Cutting Files.  I used the Hoppy Easter Treat Cup card file, all cutting done with my Pazzle.  I used Doodlebug Designs DP and I added faux stitches to the inside of the bunny's ears , paws and a few of the Easter eggs.  Sure hope you like it!!
