WE LOVE TO CREATE CHALLENGE #3 ANYTHING CREATIVE MIXED MEDIUM GOES WITH POLKADOODLES XXX

Hi there crafters out there, it is time for a Brand New Challenge over at the We Love To Create Challenge Blog....are you ready for it.....sponsored by the amazingly talented Polkadoodles!!

So what do I have in store for you for this challenge...

This time I made a Tag, I thought it was time for something else then cards....so I decided to make a Tag. I have cut the the Tag from a piece of cardstock, made this Tag myself ....this way you can decide what size you want it to have......

I started with the background. It was made with a bunch of different colors of distress inks. I have used 4 different colors to color my background with. I played with lots of stampsets on the background. I worked with sentiments. I used the Texture Galore stampset, The stampsets are so versatile don't you think????? I have used and played with them on so many different projects and they are so easy to work with....what kind of project did you make with them? I am curious about that...

What I also used on the background is a stencil from Dutch Doobadoo. the leaves are pretty aren't they? I really love those they way they turned out with the crackle .....My butterflies were colored with Distress inks and the body of the butterflies were worked on with Glossy Accents, I thought it would give those georgous butterflies from the Papillon Clear Stamp set a "real" look.....

And last but not least I decided to play a bit with a sentiment stamp from the Perfect Wishes stampset, I cut out the words and devided my sentiments in between and under the butterflies. 

I must say that the Texture Gallore and Vintage Text Stamp sets are my favourite stampsets for my background, what are yours? I am curious what yours are......

POLKADOODLES CRAFT AND INSPIRATIONAL BLOG-TUTORIAL GIFT SET-SHABBY CHIC/VINTAGY

Hello Crafters outthere, today it is my (Terry) turn on the Polkadoodles Inspirational Blog, to provide you with a tutorial. I made a gift set and it consists of a notebook and a card. Nice to give as a present to someone's birthday isn't it? So here is HOW I made the giftset, are you ready for it........

So the first thing that I did was, deviding acrylic paint on a piece of cardstock, I worked with the colors Red, Green, Yellow, Orange and White.

After using the background stamps from the wonderfull set Texture Gallore I came up with a little notebook and combined it with the Number Stencil. I thought only a little notebook is not enough, so I also wanted to use the remaining piece of cardstock and make a set of these projects. I did the same on the cardstock, colored the background with acrylic paints and the background stamps were used too. Also worked with the green, orange, red distress inks.  

What I did next was when I was happy with the result of the paints, I got the Creative Number Stencil and with some Modelling Paste I played with the number stencil and placed the numbers on one side.

After that I stamped this fabulous butterfly from the Flower Collage Stampset with embossing ink. I embossed the butterfly with white embossingpowder en colored the butterfly with orange distress ink.

After I was done with the coloring I played with the sentiment from the stampset Perfect Wishes and cut it in 2 and placed it onto the front of the little notebook. And this is the result from the small notebook that I have made. 

Oke now I want to finish the other half of the giftset and make a card with it, I am stamping the Doodle Borders all around my piece of paper and there are some tiny rounds in there, I got my white Graph'it Marker and colored them white. 

And did you know that Polkadoodles has this new awesome Vintage Text Stampset....I stamped bits here and there on my background and I just love Vintage Text......After that I placed the Numbers onto the background aswell and this time I used Crackle Paste.....

Remember that I stamped and embossed some butterflies onto the notebook....I did the same on the Birthday card offcourse and I have colored the butterflies with the Orange Distress Ink...gives it a shabby chic/vintagy look doesn't it.....

So here is the whole set, one Shabby Chic Notebook with the sentiment enjoy the little moments and a Birthday Card with the same elements as the Notebook.

The products that I have worked with from Polkadoodles are:

Texture Gallore Clearstamp set

Creative Number Stencil

Doodle Borders

Flower Collage Clearstamp set

Vintage Text Clearstamp set

Perfect Wishes Clearstamp set

I sure hope that I have given you some inspiration to make your own Gift Set, so much fun to make a set to give someone for a Birthday

Are you ready for it.....

This is what I made for you .....

I have created a simple card this time with lots of fabulous clearstamp sets from Polkadoodles, love the flowers and colored them with aquacolors. This time I have chosen the color pink, it is a bit out of my comfortzone but I thought I should use it once......

The flower on the bottom of the card has been curled up to give it a 3D effect. After I stamped the flowers, I stamped some hearts on the card and colored them with half the waterpaint and with the Sparkle Pen from Spectrum Noir

 Last but not least I placed the sentiment.
