Polkadoodles Crafting ~ Be a Unicorn

Happy Monday to you all hope you have a good week

The sun has got his hat on here its a lovely day

I am here to share with you a little tag that I made last night

Have you met the little character 

Li'l Miss Sugarpops from Polkadoodles

She is totally sweet I'm totes in love

The image I have used today is

~Unicorn~

You can find this and many more in the store

Here

I coloured her up using Graph'It markers and Polychromos using a little white marker for dots on her stars

I used a few of the sentiments mainly because I could not choose which one to use

using again the oxides to match them in and giving each one a little doodle round with black micron pen. 

I adored making the background to my tag

Of course I used my new love of Distress Oxides, I also used a stamp down the side I'm so not sure why but it made me think of candy floss (must of been the colour ...maybe)

I felt the background was so pretty it did not need a lot of work so a few droplets of water here and there was all that was needed

Ula - Don't Listen - Polkadoodles Crafting

Happy Thursday to you all

Sharing with you another Ula tag

I think this one is possibly one of my favourites
(I keep changing my mind)

You can find her in the store here 

The sentiment is from Ula's life collection - although you do get a couple of  other sentiments with the digi

I used watercolour card for my tag and for the background used Distress Oxides these really are magical

I used lots of differents stamps , bubbles , splatters etc and I also used two stamps from the Belle Papillon set  the leaf and the stem , I painted these

For Ula I coloured her with Graph'It markers and polychromo pencils and added some detail to her dress.

For the sentiment I cut it out seperatly dusted around with Distress ink and then doodled round

and doodled the tag edge too

Ula ~ Polkadoodle Crafting

Well yesterday was the magical day My Granddaughter has broken up from school for summer

which means we get a little visitor to stay

As soon as Felicity was through the door she was straight to her craft desk

Which also means crafting time for Grandma

I am so into making tags at the moment 

So that was our play for the day

Felicity made 2 tags for her Mum with stamped cats on and one she drew

and here is mine another Ula make

I just love her attitude

This image is called Ula create and you can find her in the Polkadoodles store right here

The sentiment is from Ula's Life collection

For the background I used Distress Oxide's ~ I'm loving these

I used the leafy stamp from Belle Papillon Collection

and painted it orange

I used Polychromos and Graph'It markers to colour Ula and with some tiny alphabet stamps popped her name on her book.

With the sentiment  printed I dusted round with distress ink and then used a white marker to highlight.

I then doodled round with a micro pen.

Ula ~ Polkadoodles Crafting

What a fab afternoon I had yesterday

I have always wanted to try a bit of mixed media and yesterday I think I managed it

I love the new Ula character from Polkadoodles

I have not managed to play with them all yet so my project was set around 

Ula be a Mermaid

I started out cutting a tag from water colour paper

and then used Distress Oxides broken china and faded jeans spritzed with water and dabbed my tag in

whoooooooo I love this stuff it was just so pretty

Now I felt it needed another dab of something striking

I had vintage photo Distress Oxide in my hand, dare I? dare I? dare I? eeekkkk I did it just a smidge Oh My Days it worked , it actually worked

There was actually no stopping me now

I stamped some seaweed on the background and painted it up 

I stamped some tiny bubbles using faded jeans normal distress ink

Printed the sentiment and dabbed the edge again using faded jeans, I also used a white pen to highlight the letters.
I squiggled round the edge of the tag with a micro black pen and also around the little bubbles 

The mermaid was coloured using a mixture of Graph'It Markers, Polychromo Pencils and Gelly roll pens

 and finally Ula was finished of with some sparkle on her wings and for the shell. Popped her on with foam for some depth.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Here today for 

Polkadoodles Challenge

*Anything Goes*

 For my card this week I have used the wonderful clear stamp set
 Christmas Poinsettia/Holly

I stamped the poinsettia twice onto fine grain cartridge paper, I also used the sentiment stamp
I used paints to colour and added extra petals from my second stamp.

I have watched Nikky Hall many times on Create & Craft and when she has almost finished her projects she simply flicks paint over it all to finish always with amazing results.  I have tried but am still ultra nervous at doing so!

Create and Craft TV with Nikky

Hands up if you saw our wonderful Nikky on Create & Craft earlier at 2.00

If you missed the show you can catch up here

AND

Nikky is back on our screens at 7.00 this evening

For my first card that I am showing, I used so many bits and pieces so I hope I don't miss any out

I started off with a brick mask and used modelling paste to create a wall

(first time I have ever used it!)

I used the door die to create the window adding the fence and for the bottom part of the bird house I used the lampost die , this amazing set can be found

here

For my window

I used the door die

and for the inside a scene image from

Winnie Winterland

and then topped with acetate

I used the lush, lush, lush Birdhouse die, and the leaf stem amazing!!

find those here

I finished off die cutting using one of the pretty flowers

I dabbed about using pearl effects Red, these are a must have for Christmas Crafting.

Then on to my finishing piece awwwww the wee little robin, actually he is not that small in real life , big knickers on I used my shrinkles again I love this stuff!!

The biggest tip I was told when using is....If you use your heat gun to shrink rather than the oven make sure its sitting on a big pile of paper to stop it flying of in different directions!

Now the Robin was'nt on todays show , but he so fitted, so much so I made him twice . He can be found in the Polkadoodles store along with a wonderful  cage and lots more goodies, check them out here. I coloured  using pencils

Little Bird ~ Tag and Card

Ohhhhh squeal what an exciting week, after a few months break  due to moving I re~newed my subscription to my favourite magazine Simply Cards & Papercraft

(I had to cancel so I was not led into temptation to craft lol)

I am now fully crafting again and have so many ideas and new things I want to try.

Now one thing I do love is using shrinkles

 ( I am very new to this but can see it becoming addictive)

When I saw the freebie's on the mag I immediately grabbed the shrinkles pack!

Talking of freebies........where to start?? Two Die's (bird and wing) ~24 stamps (I counted them twice so I hope I got it right) and then  prima exclusive paper collections , beautiful papers and stunning toppers, I could not wait to start crafting.

I started making the tag first ~ layering up the different papers ,so lush I really did not want to cut them up ! I inked around using distress ink shaded lilac

I used one of the toppers in the center, now here is the fun part

I stamped and die cut the bird onto shrinkles and coloured him in using Polychromo Pencils and then set to work with my heat dryer , I then had the most cutest tiny bird in the world, I stamped the branch , flowers, Love sentiment and his feet using Memento dew drop ink

Die Cut a couple of flowers using another of the papers 

 and finished of with a few Nuvo jewel drops and a slice of ribbon.

I then set about my card , starting with a 6x6 card blank 

I layered up the same papers as the tag

Changing a few ink colours this time I added more stamped detail to the bird and decided to keep him at his original size

Flowers were made the same as before and using two of the stamps * happy bird-day*
