Do Small Things With Love with Polkadoodles

 Have you seen Polkadoodles' Sweet Moments new release yet?  OMG!  These critters are so sweet, I don't think I can handle it :)  I created this valentine's card using the bear with a star stamp from the Do Small Things With Love stamp and die set.    I've layered up the card panel on some fun mixed media background paper from the Pretty Colourful paper pack.

I am currently away from home and have to work with what I have in my possession lol.  For this card I watercoloured the image and the background with my Beam watercolour paints, created locally to where I am right now.

Beam Paints colours used:

Cherry Magenta
Harvest Wheat
Fireweed
Cub Brown
Bread
Black

Merry Christmas Crafty Ribbons Inspiration

Christmas is getting closer and closer!  Have you started buying gifts yet?  I have not, I know, I'm terrible lol

I have , however, been working like a mad woman making Christmas and Holiday cards :)  And here is one I've created using ribbon and lace from Crafty Ribbons, along with stamps from my Stamp of Approval box! Love that Catherine Pooler :)

I love how this card turned out, and I will definitely be making more like it.  I have used the Peace, Love, Joy Ribbon and Morlaix Cotton Lace from Crafty Ribbons, which you can find in the Crafty Ribbons online shop.  They have so many new Christmas ribbons!  I love them all! Muwahahahahahaha.....ok, maybe that was a bit much, lol, but you get my point right?

Ooooooo, don't forget, we are in the midst of the 12 weeks of Christmas challenges!  A New challenge every week...you know what that means?  A chance to win EVERY week until Christmas!

PND Challenge with Blowing Bubbles Avery

It's challenge time over at The Paper Nest Dolls :)  Have you joined in yet?  There are always fabulous prizes to be won, and this month is even better!  We are being sponsored by May Arts this month, so each of DT girls has used May Arts ribbon in our creations.  Not only that...the lucky winner will receive some lovely May Arts ribbon for themselves along with the usual from Christine Paperdolls!  Thank you May Arts for the fabulous ribbon to work with this month!

Isn't this just gorgeous?!

I chose to create a piece using Blowing Bubbles Avery for this month's challenge post:

I used paper from Cosmo Cricket's Tea for Two 6 x 6 pad, and I did NOT follow a sketch for this project.  Although I probably should have hahahaha.  Sometimes it's fun to just wing it ;)  I used May Arts ribbon along the top and bottom of the card (pink velvety ribbon with cotton cream lace) and I also cut apart some pink flower trim and included it as well in the flower grouping :)

I colored her using my Copics, Prismacolor Markers, and my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors:

Hair:  PB201
PC1072, 1074, 1076
Skin:  Copics  E000
PC927, 939, 1029
Dress:  PB133
PC1029, 1017
Bubbles:  Copics R20, PB108
PC922, 924, 925, 1061, 10653

She is just so sweet and would make the perfect Valentine's card don't you think?  Speaking of Valentine's Day, I realized while making this card, that I don't have any Valentine's sentiment stamps 0_0  Not good.  Will definitely have to rectify that very soon lol.

You can find Blowing Bubbles Avery in The Paper Nest Dolls online shop in rubber stamp form, as well as many other sweet images to use for Valentine's Day or for any other special occasion.  And don't forget to come and join in the challenge this month for a special prize from May Arts!  The challenge always starts on the first Monday of every month, and is always Anything Goes!  How easy is that?!  Hope to see you there!
