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)


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

For my backing papers I used the Co - ordinating Lavender and Tea CD-Rom. 

So here is my card:

Polkadoodles ( wk13) Cream and Sugar inspiration

Hi there today I'm back with an inspiration post for the current challenge cream and sugar over at polkadoodles.

But first we have some news:

WIN a Feather!

Win Feathers in Your Cap!
From March 2016 we will have an additional Top 3 winners on each challenge and this Top 3 will be called

Feather in My Cap....

If you use a Polkadoodles image in your challenge entry and make it into this extra Top 3 you will be awarded a Feather in your Cap and entered onto the Feathery League Board!

Because you are using a Polkadoodles image you will be permitted to enter the challenge an extra time, so can enter THREE times. This can be with 3 Polkadoodles makes, or a combination of Polkadoodles and non-Polkadoodles, it's up to you but one of the 3 must be a PD image to be valid.

The League Board will exist throughout the season, which runs for 6 months, and every time your name is entered you will receive a feathery point, meaning the more Polkadoodles images you use the higher up the league you will go.

At the end of the season, our Top 3 league winners will all receive a Polkadoodles voucher for the download store.

So it's easy - simply use a Polkadoodles image in your challenge entry and collect your Feathers as you go! We even have a cute Feather badge for you to wear on your blog!



So on to this week.
I have coloured my first ever colouring page by polkadoodles florabunda cd rom .

I coloured using lyra rembrandt polycolor pencils and decided to use up my off cuts of polkadoodles backing paper from last project.

Onto my card.
