Polkadoodles: Not A Card ...

There is a new challenge over at the Digi Choosday challenge blog ... always 'anything goes' the DT were challenged to create a Christmas project that isn't a card.  I have made a lovely bauble to hang on my Christmas tree using a precoloured image from Polkadoodles Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs

I printed the image onto rice paper and decoupaged it onto the plastic bauble base. Then I added lots of dimensional snow paste around the rest of the bauble, glittered it all and sealed the image with a spray matt sealer.

The petrol satin ribbon, wooden snowflake button and silver twine are all from The Ribbon Girl

Polkadoodles: Christmas Colours

There is a new challenge this week over at the Polkadoodles challenge blog, it's always 'anything goes' but the DT were challenged to use Christmassy colours - and if I am given the opportunity to use Christmas colours then there is no way I'm not going all out Christmas!! We would love you to join us xx

I love the frosty blue/silver colours of the festive period and this little Winnie ice skating was just perfect for this card. Precoloured image, papers and sentiment tag are all from the Work & Play 5 Festive Hollybobs download kit and the diecut frame is the Bubbleicious die all available from Polkadoodles. I added a lot of Liquid Pearl dots and silver grey satin ribbon, both available from The Ribbon Girl
