Merry Christmas, crafters! I hope you like my latest project for the Polkadoodles We Love to Create Challenge Blog. For the main image I used the Nature Lover – January digi stamp which I coloured using Copics and Promarker pens and die cut the image using a Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle die.
I created the background by covering a circular board with
a co-ordinating coloured paper from the Octavia Moonfly - Paper Heaven Paperholic
collection and edging the board with ‘Salvaged Patina’ embossing glaze.
I then stamped the flowers and leaves stamps from the
‘Queen of Hearts Collage’ and ‘Flower Collage’ stamp sets on to Octavia Moonfly
- Paper Heaven Paperholic papers and plain card stock from my stash, fussy
cutting to create a floral frame around my central image. I took the butterfly stamp from the ‘Flower Collage’
stamp set and heat embossed directly on to the board using ‘Worn Lipstick’
Distress Powder and on to a darker teal card stock.
I used the toadstools from ‘Winnie Wonderland Embellies
1&2’ to add extra detail and interest, shading the spots with a Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen ‘Clear Star’ pen.
To tie in the scalloped edges from the main image, I
punched small circles out of white card stock and spritzed using ‘Dylusions’
ink sprays in shades of Fushia and Hot Pink.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful projects this month,
Happy Crafting!
Gabrielle
