Ula be a Unicorn Polkadoodles DT Project

 



Hello crafters! I thoroughly enjoyed creating my latest Design Team project for Polkadoodles Polkadoodles using the lovely ‘Ula be a Unicorn’ digi stamp which I coloured using Promarkers, Copics and Sakura Gelly Roll pens, and die with Spellbinders ‘Labels Eight’ die. I then stamped flowers from the Polkadoodles ‘Flower Power 1’ stamp set with a black ink and coloured using the same shades of Promarkers. I used a black pen to create a dotted border which helps draw the eye to the main image.

I created the background by covering a circular board with a co-ordinating patterned paper from the Rainbow Paper printable digital download bundle which I edited on my computer to soften the colour and fade the edges. I then embossed around the edge with Cosmic Shimmer ‘Lapis Pearl Lustre’ powder.

I die cut the sentiment from ‘Ula be a Unicorn’ and using Hunkydory Moonstone Star die, edging it with a Promarker pen. I stencilled small stars with the Polkadoodles ‘Starry Nights’ stencil and ‘Squeezed Lemonade’ Distress Ink to add detail and interest.

Finally, I added small embellishments from my stash, including chipboard flowers which I coloured using embossing powders so they would softly coordinate with the project.

I hope you like my project and happy crafting!

Oddella Heart

 

Hello crafters, for this project for Polkadoodles, I was inspired to use the ‘Oddella Heart’ digi stamp; we don’t have to tell people we love them just on Valentine’s Day, right?  I coloured the image with Polychromos Pencils and then die cut using ‘Labels Eight’ Nestabilities Dies from Spellbinders, edging it with ‘Fired brick’ Distress Ink.  I then die cut two of the scribble heart dies from the Sizzix ‘Scribbles and Splat’ die set from red card stock. 

I selected a monochrome flower paper from the ‘Octavia Moonfly Paperheaven 5’ collection, cutting it to fit an A5 card blank and edging it with a black Promarker pen, and on a second piece, I tore a thick strip, and again used ‘Fired Brick’ Distress Ink to enhance the torn edges along with a sentiment from the ‘Let’s Hang Out Sentiments Bundle - Winnie download bundle’.

Happy crafting!
