Blooming Lovely - Quick & Easy w/Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the

last months of warm weather.  Today I'm bringing you a very quick

and easy to make card using products from

Polkadoodles

Blooming Lovely Bundle - Poppy 

What I've used here is one of the printable in the set.  There is a

sheet of them included in the bundle that are already colored.

I loved the colors and the round shape of the purple and blue image.  I

first die cut and prepared my base.

I die cut 2 circle from white card stock that are approx. 4 1/4" wide.  I

achieved this by taking one of the circles and scoring it 1/4" down.

I put glue just on the 1/4" part and adhered the 2 circles together.  Next

I die cut my colored panel with a scalloped circle die.

My next step was to find background paper and I finally settled on a

glossy ombre card stock that enhanced the colors already in the design.  I

decided to back the sentiment with a strip of left-over card stock.

I trimmed around the sentiment leaving a small white edge and adhered

it to the left over piece of background card stock and trimmed that off

to leave a narrow edge.  I adhered all the layers onto the base.  Then I 

needed to add final touches to this card!  I added small pearls that were

iridescent to the outer circle of the colored circle and one on either end

of the sentiment.  Then I added Stickles in Mermaid Tail to the centers

of the flowers and on the points of the white scallops of the inner circle.

And that finished my card!

This bundle is beyond beautiful and colorful!  So many possibilities!  You

can find this bundle and many more at

Let's Hang Out w/Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone id doing well and having fun with summer

activities!  Today I'm bring you a fun card using products from

Polkadoodles

Let's Hang Out - Winnie - Big Kahuna Bundle

I love working with the bundles - they have everything you need to make

multiple cards - images, sentiments and papers!  I've used one each of these!

Let me show you how I made my card!  I first rated out by composing an

sizing my image and sentiment and placing them onto the digital paper.

When I dropped the paper in I didn't have to resize because it prints

out to about 6" x 6".  The thicker font allowed me to just placed the

sentiment on top of the paper.  

Once again I used my sparkle watercolor paper from Paul Ruebens (Amazon).

Such a subtle sparkle!  I love it!

I decided to use Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for all of the

coloring.  I used the Zig Blender Marker to blend all of the colors

together.  One thing that I forgot while doing this - watercolor paper

stays damp longer.  So I did have to combat some coloring that

were bleeding into each other.

I kept testing my colors to make sure they would match the

background paper so I would have a cohesive look.

Zig marker colors used:  Blender, Beige, Dark Oatmeal, Vanilla,

Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo, Mid Green, Olive Green, Pale Yellow,

Lemon yellow, Fog Grey, Black, Flesh Color, Lt. Brown,

Medium Beige and Mid Brown.

I next prepared a white A2 size top folding card base.  I die

cut the colored panel with a frame die from my stash.  I cut it 

again out of a coordinating color for the frame.

I did some black ink work to add in some details - whiskers on the

bunnies, texture on the big flower, a pattern on the top layer of her

dress.  Then I added more sparkle.  I used glitter glue on the big

flower, the bunny tails, the pocket and sash on her dress, the bows

on her socks.  The I used a silver glitter gel pen and put dots in

her hair, dots on the sides of her shoes, on her patterned dress and

the bunny ears.  

I adhered the frame to the card base and then I placed the colored panel

on with adhesive foam.  And that finished my card!

This was a fun card to make and I really enjoy coloring with my

Zig Markers.  The colors are so vibrant!  You can find this big digital

bundle and many more at
