Polka Doodles 1st Challenge :-)




I just found this brand new Challenge today :-) The Polka Doodles Challenge :-) What a fab name :-) They are asking us to make a card using this lovely sketch.





I used a 'Tilda in Spring rain', isn't she gorgeous :-) I coloured her with copics and 3D'd her. I used Basic Grey Lime Rickey papers, love the vibrant colours in this pad :-)The buttons are papermania and the sentiment is from Simon Says Clear Stamps SENDING SUNSHINE Exclusive Set. The stamps I used are all available in the Simon Says Stamp store

I also made this card to enter the Daring Cardmakers Challenge whose theme this week is 'Wet Wet Wet' :-)

Over on the Simon Says Stamp blog Heidi is asking everyone to link their creations using the new Magnolia Chasing Butterflies collecton to be in with a chance of winning a $100 prize draw !!!! :-) So this one will be linked in !!! :-)

Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Tilda's Butterflies :-)













I made this card and gift card using one of the new Tilda's from the Chasing Butterflies range of stamps from Magnolia. The Tilda is 'Tilda with Butterflies', don't ya just love how she's got her shoes on the wrong feet !! How cute is that !! :-) I also used the Magnolia '2 butterflies' stamp and the large butterfly was one from Simon Says Clear Stamps Butterfly BUTTERFLIES Exclusive Set! The sentiments are also from a Simon says exclusive set. You can see them in the Simon Says Stamp store
along with all the new Magnolia stamps :-)

There is a fabulous competition over on the Simon Says Stamp blog there's a $100 shopping spree on offer so hop on over there for further details :-)

I made the card following the fabulous sketch on the Friday Sketchers Challenge :-)

The gift card was made for the Just Magnolia Challenge whose theme this week is 'Shape Up' !! Well I know this isn't such a fabby shape but it'll have to do !! It matches the card ! :-) All I have to do now is buy the gift :-) I was thinking a nice picture with the odd butterfly on it !! Will have to get Amy to do a nice drawing/painting :-) There's nothing nicer than a handmade gift is there !!! :-)

The papers I used are from Crafty Individuals and thought it matched Tilda perfectly :-) I also used a some of the new Whitewash coredinations, gorgeous !! :-)

Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)
