POLKADOODLES CRAFTS AND UNIQUE STAMPING WITH POLKADOODLES-TUTORIAL

Hey there crafters out there, it is my turn Terry to show you how I made a colorfull card with loads of flowers from the Pretty Perfect stampset.

Excuse me for not making more than 2 photographs but I was so enthousiastic to start my project that I forgot to take more pictures........

Are your ready for some inspiration?
Sure hope that I can give you some with this tutorial.....

What I did was, First of all I started out with a piece of cardstock. I have cut out a white card of 22 cm x 11 cm.

I have colored the background with 3 colors of distress ink. Let it dry very well using the Heattool and after that I started stamping on the card with the Pretty Perfect Stamp Set.

I have colored the background with 3 colors of distress ink. Let it dry very well using the Heattool and after that I started stamping in othe card with the Pretty Perfect Stamp Set. After stamping, I used the heattool again to dry the stamping ink well. When I finished that I dipped a waterpen in chlorine and started to "color" the flower stamps. The great thing about chlorine is that the colors that were under the stamp fade away and therefore become allmost white.

And than you get this result check out the "white" flowers....I just love them.... After I finished that I started to fill up my card with the border stamp from the Doodle Dragonfly set and stamped it all around my card. Also a few hearts were stamped on the card.

I was thinking to color the leaves and so I did. I colored them with Zigs and the tiny flowers too.

Than all the card needed were some sentiments. Did you ever try out the Sentimentals from Polkadoodles? Well if you never used them I suggest you try them out and better use them cause they are so much fun to play with. I used the "You are a very Special Kind of Special Friend" and cut them all into tiny words and divided them on the card.

So there ya go, my card is finished and I sure hope you will have asmuch fun as I did making this card. Can't wait to see yours....

WE LOVE TO CREATE CHALLENGE #4 ANYTHING CREATIVE MIXED MEDIUM GOES .....WITH POLKADOODLES XXX

Hello crafters outthere, we have a fabulous NEW challenge for this month, you really should check it out, you are going to love it.....

A Brand New challenge sponsored by the fabulous Polkadoodles!!

So what do I have in store for you ...
I made a canvas this time....

Are you ready for it.....

Here I go....

I made a canvas for this month's challenge. I made the background with various types of stamps and started with Gesso, then I used Distress Oxide.

I played with a stencil and stamped some of the georgous flowers from the new stampsets from Polkadoodles, they are really lush.

I cut the flowers and colored them with Distress oxide and then colored 2 different butterflies. Then I played with where I wanted to put them on the canvas. And I doubled the flowers because I thought a little dimension would be so much fun to create.

I stamped the sides and edges of the canvas with leaves and stamped some hearts onto the canvas. Last but not least I placed a sentiment onto it. That is how is should be.....Enjoy the little moments...
