Digi Choosday week 21 GDT Post

Hi guys, I'm back with another GDT post for Polkadoodles and their Digi choosday challenge blog.

This week the DT were challenged to use a vintage theme but as always the theme for you guys is anything goes.

So whenever I think of vintage for some reason I think of pink and green ... here is what I made:

I used the beautiful Ruby Looking Pretty and I coloured her with my pencils.

The papers I used were from the 

Magic Garden Collection

The sentiment is from the Winnie Celebration Download here.

I hope you will come along and join the challenge ... see you there!

Petal Lu Creations DT Post

Hi lovelies,

Today I am sharing my DT make for the Facebook Petal Lu challenge .

The theme is always anything goes so there is no reason not to join in, also if you use a Petal Lu flower on your creation you will be entered twice into the competition!

The Winner (picked randomly) will receive a 30% discount and the DT favourite will win a box of blooms!

So here is what I made:

I used the super cute Tiddly Inks Happy Bee Day image and coloured her up with my pencils.

The papers I used are old ones by Echo Park.

The sentiment is from my LOTV paper pad ... which I am using sparingly as they no longer make them!

Just check out the gorgeous blooms ... you can purchase these stunning flowers here.

I hope you like it and I hope you will pop by and join in the challenge!

Petal Lu Challenge - Orange

Hi my lovelies,

I'm back again this time with my inspiration post for the Petal Lu August Challenge and this month it is Anything goes with the option of using Orange flowers!

Prize is a 30% Discount to spend in store 

Here is what I made this month:

I used the super cute Navajo Anya digital stamp by The Greeting Farm and you can find her here.

I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend Pencils.

The papers are by Lilybee Designs and are called Autumn Spice.

Of course I finished of with my Orange, yellow and peach Petal Lu flowers.

The sentiment is from MFT and how could I make a card without some faux stitching!

Hope you have a great day!

Hugs xx Cara xx

Siren of the Sea with Spectrum Noir Colour Blend pencils

Hello again,

Just popping back to share another make using my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend pencils from the new 12 set configurations, I used both the Soft Tints and the Bold Brights to colour this image:

The image is by Aurora Wings and is called Siren of the Sea and you can find her here

I printed the image on to Strathmore Toned Grey paper and the pencils worked perfectly on here, I used only layering to achieve my blend.

The image is so lovely I decided to leave the rest of the card pretty simple with inly a couple of corner dies and some pretty flowers to finish off.  The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn.

I really hope you like it and don't forget to tune into Hochanda for the one day special on 16th July to catch more samples with these wonderful pencils!

Hugs xx Cara xx
