Pink, Charms and Ribbons

Angel

Hi everyone,
this little cards main feature is the digi image by Emma Canning, I drew her onto a welded panel of berries and holly whichI curved around to the front of the card and created using my cameo and then I daubed Tim Holtz distress pad inks on, I coloured a back panel and used pads to layer the top on to add depth, the sentiment is from polkadoodles, I added ribbon, pearls and a christmas tree charm,
I am entering this card into the creative inspirations challenge which is a challenge based on a bingo card.

Anyway just love these digis by Emma canning, you can get yours on the polkadoodles site, for the background i just used scraps of card and waste dots from a cutout that i use to make papers, added the topper coloured with promarkers. i used American seam binding for the bow and added string beads for a bit of bling.

these cards are my entry to this months challenge set by nicky hall at polkadoodles, the first one is a favourite
that i made a short while ago with the cute little Humphrey stamp, spellbinders and embossibilities.
the second card was made using the candy doodles cd, the image was drawn with the cameo and coloured with promarkers, i used the itty bitty spellbinders dies, wrote the sentiment to match the image and added satin edged organza ribbon.

the 3rd card uses the emma canning image that was july's challenge as instructed and using the tag i made for the weekly polkadoodles challenge, the image is actually welded to the tag panel then drawn on, coloured with promarkers, i added flowers, ribbon, butterflies and used k&co papers.

Hi everyone, thought I would share my card with you, which i entered into the polkadoodles July challenge, and to my surprise won, shocked, yep very, the image was a free one for the challenge by Emma Canning a very talented lady, which in turn has led to a new challenge starting with this blog, so we can all hold Nikky Hall totally responsible, actually it was a very good idea by the lovely lady, to encourage us all to showcase some of our work.

Welcome

Hello, welcome to my first ever blog, this shall be another learning curve for me, but a chance to showcase the things that i create.
