Good day friends! I am sharing a card today using some of the fun flowers in the Friend in Bloom stamp set from Polkadoodles. This card was also created using the Pretty Colourful Paper as well as the Sweet Moments Chipboard Embellishments. The paper lends itself to a mixed media card and the chipboard embellishments and Scalloped Rectangles and Tags die set really add some dimension!

Friends in Bloom with Polkadoodles
Hey Lovely with Polkadoodles
Hello friends, I am sharing some lovely spring inspiration with you today featuring the Hey Lovely stamp set from the Hello Spring collection from Polkadoodles. I paired the stamped images with the Circle Hearts stencil from the Sweet Moments collection. I used black ink because I am away from home and it's the only color I brought...but, it shows that you can still be creative with limited supplies. Plus, I think using the grey paper and the black ink really make the orange and green pop!
I've coloured these flowers using my Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils in the following colors:
Green: 908, 1096, 1005, 1004
Red: 937, 924, 122, 1001
Yellow: 947, 941, 997, 916, 914, 938
Orange: 945, 1032, 921, 118, 1002

This stamp set is called Hello it's Me and includes this cute bear and frame. I've paired this image with some paper and stamps from the Pretty Flowers Collection: Thanks a Bunch stamp, Hello Pretty stamp, and Pretty Colourful Paper...as well as some of the new chipboard embellishments from Sweet Moments Collection! Wow, that seems like a lot, lol, but it all came together perfectly!

Big Hugs with Polkadoodles
Don't you just love big word dies? This Big Hugs metal die set from Polkadoodles is perfect for getting your message across, without a lot of time and worry. I love how this set can be the sole, large element on a card front. I layered the cut outs with some black cardstock over some of the new paper, also from the Sweet Moments collection called Devine Hearts. If you look closely, you'll see I also fussy-cut some of the hearts from another sheet of paper from the same pack.I used my Beam paints to watercolour the letters in the word "HUGS" using the following colours:
Black
Blueberry Mountain (New and old)
