Polkadoodles 7th birthday celebrations

Happy 7th birthday Polka Doodles.

As this anniversary is normally called the "7 year itch", the Polka Doodles team have embraced the prickly feeling by scratching that itch and mixing/scratching up some new images ... get the pun? Corny we know  but the team have had great fun. 

So to embrace the “itchy scratch” the Polka Doodles team have thrown caution to the wind and “scratched up” a different kind of birthday celebration.

The birthday celebrations will be running for 2 weeks and each day someone from the Polka Doodles team will be sharing their “mixed/scratched up” image. It’s been all hush hush and secret squirrel too as no one knows who has been busy creating what and when they will be revealing their image... so the Polka Doodles team get to join in the fun too. To add an extra layer of itchy fun, everyone has also been colouring up the new “scratched/mixed up” images, (still not knowing who designed them) and they will be sharing via their blogs and on FaceBook.

We really have scratched things up ... new merged images, no one knows who created what and no one knows when they’ll be sharing them ...!

Please do take the opportunity to visit the Polka Doodles team and see their new digi images because you will find a discount code (or two) along your way that you can use in the Polka Doodles shop

So today for this awesome merged image the collections used are,
Work and play 9 love and kisses (bride & carriage)

Octavia Moonfly unicorn collection

Whom ever merged this beauty  have done such a fabulous job in combining this one.
I coloured with Alcohol markers copics on this occasion,  used a touch of gesso paint splatter, a bit of gilded wax and embossing and not forgetting the background is done with the technique from the Background Techniques class from Kit and Clowder .

So onto my card
