Things with Wings Challenge at Digi Choosday with Polkadoodles plus tutorial

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 THINGS WITH WINGS.   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 our Newest Release:  Winnie Fruit Punch Digital Collection - don't you just love it?!?  You can pick this collection up as a Digital Download or CD at Polkadoodles Shop or by clicking on the links above.

For my creation today I chose Eden Fairy Wings which can be purchased as a single image or in the Eden Download Collection Big Kahuna Bundle.  Image is colored with Copics, I used a technique known as feathering to combine 2 colors on her wings.   I then cut out using an offset border on my Cameo.   I made a pencil holder this time around.   I chose papers and embellies from Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download to finish off my Things with Wings creation, sure hope you like it.  Hugs:)

In order to achieve the feathering or two-tone affect like the one I used for Eden's wings, you need to pick 2 colors from opposing ends of the color wheel.  For my wing coloring, I chose Mauve Pinks (RV000, RV00, RV02 and RV04) and Yellow Greens (YG00, YG01, YG03 and YG05).  The far side of each wing is where I put my darkest color, so that would be the top part of the wings, closest to Eden's body, and then the bottom part of the wing, the furthest from her body.  You then gradually layer/blend up your colors from darkest to lightest on each end and your lightest colors will cross or "feather" on top of one another in the middle.  This technique looks really cool on wings, tails, such as mermaids tails, and clothing.  I sure hope you found my tutorial helpful and hopefully I was able to teach you something new.

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!

Acetate 3D project from THE CUTTING CAFE and Star Stampz Use a Digi Reminder

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday!   I am here today to share with you my most recent project using items from The Cutting Cafe.  This time I have used Butterfly Treat Box Template - trio of butterflies.  The treat box also has the option of a single butterfly.  For this week's The Cutting Cafe Blog inspiration post, we are showing off our projects made with acetate/clear card stock.  You can purchase clear card stock in either 8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12 at The Cutting Cafe Shop for Clear Stamps and Supplies.

I cut my clear card stock using my Cameo and then used clear Tacky glue to attach the base pieces together.  I then cut out the second layer of butterflies from clear card stock and embossed them with some embossing folders from my stash.  I added Stickles and Liquid Pearl to the embossed butterflies.  Finally, I attached my image, which is a digi from Star Stampz Etsy Shop.  The current challenge at Star Stampz is Use a Digi and you have until April 27 to come play along.
