Below the surface

My son is always losing his book mark, so this week for my Polkadoodles DIGI CHOOSDAY DT inspiration I have made him yet another one, this one is supersized, so hopefully it won't get lost!!

I used the fab Rocco from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles.

For the longest time I have wanted to try a technique with Copics I saw on Pinterest, showing how to colour underwater and thought this would be the perfect project to try it out, it did look very strange when I started, but I really like the effect now it is finished.

I used some stamps from my stash to add the fish and seaweed and finally some puffy stuff to give the froth on the waves hitting Rocco's surf board.

Fairy Toadstool

Is it Tuesday already, must be time for a new inspiration card for DIGI CHOOSDAY!!

This week I have revisited one of the first Polkadoodles images in my collection Octavia Moonfly, this sweetie is 'Wistful'.

I began by cropping and cutting my image in a circle shape, then also cut a circle in the card blank to make an aperture, this way you can see the image when the card is both open or closed.

Inside

Next I decorated the inside with some lovely papers from the Helga Hippo collection.

Once I had coloured my image with Copics, I glued her in place and stamped some dandelions and a sentiment.

For the outside I used some dies I had in my stash to cut a border for the aperture and some corners in a lovely emerald green card.

For a Man

I have such trouble creating cards for men, but this week I find myself with several male Birthdays to create for.

So I kept it simple in tones of beige and brown, with a slash of aqua.

These two cards were created with dies, my trusty cameo and a couple of embossing folders.

I used two different backing papers both from a vintage sepia 12 x12 paper pad from the works.

Flamingo

Something a bit different from me for my latest Polkadoodles DIGI CHOOSDAY DT inspiration.

I usually pick a large girly image for my cards, but this week, I have used a simple Flamingo image from Winnie in Wonderland to complement a lovely design paper from the same collection.

I used Copics in the R Family to colour him up and then covered him in clear spectrum noir sparkle pen, so he sparkles beautifully.

I layered the paper with some Doilies I found in my stash, then also added a hand tied ribbon to finish.
