Hot Colours

It's new challenge time over at Polkadoodles. why not pop over and join in, you never know you could win a prize? The theme is always 'Anything Goes' although the DT were asked to follow the theme of 'Hot Colours'. 

My interpretation was what I find 'Hot' and for me, funnily enough that means cool colours, lol. So I thought I'd share with you a really sweet cover I made for my new notebook. I used Ula Be A Princess but not before dragging her, kicking & screaming into my graphics programme where I had a beautiful backing paper waiting for her and then added the sentiment and scaled her to size. I then made a copy of just Ula and printed that off seperately. Ula's Life has some wonderful backing papers on and some templates for fab stencils. I used a couple of stencils to create more interest on my backing paper using distress inks.

I coloured in the base layer of Ula, paying more attention to the wings and outline then I moved on to my top layer. She's coloured up using my Prisma pencils. I then cut around my top layer snipping off the wings, long bits of hair & the jewels on top of her crown. I trimmed my base layer the fit my notebook then added my top layer with some silicone gel giving her a bit of dimension.  replaced the jewels with some pearl drops, added sparkle to her wings and stuck on a few sparkly sequins. I think she looks like a proper Princess now.

Summer

Morning all. I'm here today with an inspiration post for a summer themed card. I could have created so many different cards for the current challenge over at Polkadoodles this fortnight but decided to keep it CAS and even if I do say so myself pretty 'cool' 😎


I thought the backing paper here was just so bright and vibrant all I did was use a little spray glitter to make it sparkle in the sunlight, I then opted for the sentiment and made that the focal point with a little bit of matting and layering, I then printed off a couple of the sunglass images and layered them up adding them to the corner for a bit of interest.

I do hope you like this weeks creation, thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave me a comment as I do love to read them.

Happy Birthday Karen!

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a card I recently made for a very dear friend. For a change I had a little play with my Inktense pencils & Octavia Moonfly Wistful (skin: baked earth, willow, deep rose, hair: mid vermillion, red oxide, madder brown, dress/tights: felt green, hookers green, beech green, shiraz, crimson, hot red, eyes/wings: iris blue, leaf: ionion green, iron green, mushroom: sepia ink, bark, oak, saddle brown, shiraz, crimson,hot red) the pretty floral arrangement was created using Birdhouse Doublet & Flowers 1 die sets. The sentiment is from the Octavia Moonfly Big Kahuna Collection. I hope you like it?
