Polkadoodles Octavia and Eden Series of Cards.


Two more of the Eden series of Cards.  There are still two more in the series and then onto the new Serenity Series.

I was just awards the RAK for the month.  I was chosen for my colouring journey.  I am so honoured.  I was given two digi's of my choice as a gift for this.

Today I would like to share the Octavia cards I have been making.  There are Nine Digi images in the series.  If you would like to look further at the Polka Doodle digi's, stamps, cut files and so much more, just go to this link.  The sets have background papers, elements and tags as well as the coloured images and digi images.








 "Octavia Moonfly Wistful" is where I started, I hope they bring out a few more Octavia Digi's at Polka Doodles Dandy.  I chose the Pinks for this image.



I just love Octavia Moonfly Dragonfly, this one is in Blues and Pinks, although the blue papers don't show up well in this photo.

"Octavia's Moonfly Washing Day"  I can't say it my favourite as I love them all, but I do like this one a lot. I coloured this one with Purples and Turquoise, and of course the Pink.

I have also added some of the lovely things I have made for Easter gifts, using cut files.

Much better than too much chocolate.  Did I hear you say there is no such thing as too much Chocolate.  hee hee

Quick Cards Issue 137 - Free Stamp Set.

I was in need of a change in my craft lately.  I wasn't sure what to do until I received my copy of Quick Cards, Issue 137.  The free gift this month was a set of stamps.  They were beautiful and the inspiration in the magazine for using the stamps really got me.  So I gave them a try and was very pleased with the results.

Here are the three cards I made up yesterday with the stamp set.


This was the third card I made.  I had the image coloured up but didn't know what to do with her.  I fussy cut her and put her over some embossing and then embossed across the bottom again.


These two were example shown in the Quick Cards Magazine.

A few cards made for Birthdays and a lot of practise




Here are a few new cards I have made recently.  Some are for birthdays and some are just for practise.


 This is a Pen Holder for the Silhouette Sketch pens.  Keeps them nice and tidy and easy to find.



I made these 6x6" card boxes for those lovely embellished cards.


This is a display box for 6x6 cards in cellophane.  It keeps them neat and tidy in the shop where I sell them.

 I am starting to use some flowers and embellishments on my cards.  This is why I needed a box for cards, I didn't want these getting crushed if they are to be mailed.

 This card was a GDT card for Slinky Tarts Digi Stamps.

I asked my daughter is she had a suggestion for a birthday card for her partner.  She said anything funny.  He is so good with the kids and the house that I thought this very apt.

 I have a passion for Zentagle lately, I am trying to finish this one off in an A4 size for a frame.

Colouring with Pencils - With Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder


I seem to have gained a thirst for learning Art.  I have now completed the Colouring with Pencils Class over at Kit and Clowder and so happy with the results.  As usual with Alyce Keegans classes at Kit and Clowder, they were easy to follow lessons that gave a wealth of information.  Here are the results.
