Spring Hedgehog Gnome

 

Spring is in the air!  For this Polkadoodles DT project, I was inspired to use the ‘Spring Hedgehog Gnome’ to create a joyful card.  I coloured the main image and the bees with Promarkers and pencils and then stamped and coloured the flowers from the ‘Flower Power 1’ stamp set.

To make the grass I used the ‘Great Outdoors’ stencil with two shades of green distress ink and then fussy cut.  I created the card blank using a matching digi paper from the ‘Spring Gnomes’ paper pack and I then attached a piece of strong acetate to the front.  I assembled my composition using foam pads for dimension, adhering the bees on to the acetate to create the illusion that are flying freely around the gnome.

I hope you like this card and I look forward to seeing your makes this month.

Happy Crafting!

'Lil Miss Sugarpops' Polkadoodles DT project

 

Hello crafters! For this colourful easel card I used the cute little ‘Unicorn digi stamp - Lil Miss Sugarpops’ which I combined with the stars and rainbow from the Accessories Digital Stamps - Sparkle Unicorn digital download bundle.

To start, I chose a spotty background paper from the ‘Rainbow Paper printable digital download bundle’ and selected a matching combination of Promarkers and Copics in which to colour my images.

I selected some mdf letters to spell ‘Shine’ and painted them with acrylics in similar colours.

I then chose an oval die for the shape of my easel card, folding and scoring a piece of pink card stock from my stash and die cutting it through both layers, with the edge of the die over the edge of the score line so the 2 ovals remained joined when cut.  I then scored one of the ovals in half across the middle. 

Next, I die cut a larger oval in the same colour card to create my matte and a smaller layer from the spotty background paper, sticking this over the bottom half of the scored oval.   Finally I assembled my layout with a combination of wet glue and foam pads.

I look forward to seeing your projects and happy crafting!
