Digi Choosday Week 10

Happy CHOOSEDAY, which of course means a new ATG challenge over at Digi Choosday.

I just can't keep away from the new Darling Buds and as soon as I saw Snowdrop, I knew I wanted to colour her on Kraft.

I have used Prisma Premier Pencils.


I embossed the green background with a leaf folder by Creative expressions and added some lace borders and also a hand tied Lace bow.

Sprite Delight

It's the first Monday of the month, so it must be time for a new Team Stella challenge over at Aurora Wings, with a theme that seems to be very popular SPRITE DELIGHT.

There is also a lovely Pansy Sprite FREEBIE on offer if you head to the challenge site HERE.



There are also so many wonderful Sprite images in the Shop, it was hard to choose which one to use, but I finally chose 'Raspberry Sprite'.


I coloured this little cutie with my trusty Copics.

The papers were a bargain from our local B & M Stores, £3.00 for a 24 page double sided 12 x 12 paper pad and all the papers are beautiful.

I just added a die cut lace border and a couple of matching flowers.


Come on over to the Challenge Blog, there is some beautiful inspiration from my team mates and of course a chance to win.

Digi Choosday Week 9

Hi Everyone, Tuesday has rolled around once again, which means you can grab new discount code over at DIGI CHOOSDAY, ready for our new ATG challenge.

The Design team were asked to use a design sheet this week, which is a great way to make a super quick card, when you need one in a hurry.

I have used a design sheet from Helga Hippo, it has such lovely spring colours.


I used most of the items from this sheet, with only a couple of banners left.

I just added a couple of extra die cuts, backing paper and a little liquid pearls.

Spring Sprites - Hyacinth

Welcome to my second Sprite Showcase the beautiful Hyacinth.



I decided to do another water colour background, I really like how the colours mix and the random patterns you get.



But this time I have put her in an 8 x 8 frame and she will be a Mothers Day gift for my lovely Mum.

I created the white insert in the Silhouette studio and added some iridescent gems to the bottom of the frame.


I also added tiny gems to the centre of each flower.


I really love how this one turned out.  If you would like to see more inspiration from the Design Team, then pop along to the Showcase Blog.

Spring Sprites - Crocus

It has been a while, since we had a new Showcase over at Aurora Wings , but today we have two new sprites to share with you.

The first is the lovely 'Crocus Sprite'

I have used Copics to colour the main image and a mix of Kuretake Gansai Tambi water colours for the background.


I decided to do my crocus in the more common yellow, as this is the  colour I have been seeing on the grass verges on my journey to work, they are just starting to bloom.


If you like this little cutie, pop along to my other new sprite post to see the lovely Hyacinth.

Digi Choosday - Week 8

Welcome to week 8 over at DIGI CHOOSDAY, where our new ATG challenge begins and a new discount code is up on the Challenge Blog.

It's been a busy time over at Polka Doodles Towers and with all my time taken, creating for the recent Darling Buds collection, I plumped for a quick and easy card this week.

I have used 3 pre-coloured images from Darling Buds and merged them together.

I have used Dahlia, Hyacinth and Tulip, to create my girly gang of Best Friends.

The paper is from First Edition - Love Letters and a vinyl sentiment from the Silhouette store.
