Yipeee! It's FRIDAY!
Hello my sweet friends. 'Tis the day before the weekend and I make no apologies for being in good spirits. It is, after all, time for another Polka Doodle challenge: Make Your Own Background. Oooo - that's a good one.
For my DT card I made this '70s inspired number using the totally delish and brand spanking new double CD called Bonbon Belles. It is like opening a box of chocolates: only here is an endless supply of yummy papers, digi stamps, toppers, embellishments, frames ... everything you need for all types of paper craft, all for just £17.99 and FREE POSTAGE. I like free, free is good, free makes me peppy.
Here's my peppy card for this week's challenge:
 |
| No patterned papers on this one! For my background I cut up all those little flowers and stuck them down randomly. I adhered some bling on a few. That image and sentiment are also from the CD. |
 |
| Here's a close up of the little girl. She's a pre-coloured topper, but she also comes as a digi for you to colour. I like the fact that she's doing her day-dreaming in a cloud of pretty flowers! |
 |
| For the inside I cut out a frame of flowers to adorn a handwritten message. |
I'm taking my card to the following challenges: 365 Cards Day #185 "Overlapping Elements"; Art Impressions Stamps #113 "Floral Frenzy"; Crafts And Me #138 "Anything Goes" and C Is For Challenge #1 "Flowers".
Now it's your turn, folks. Come join us and make your own background. Don't forget to link your fab project over at the PolkaDoodles challenge blog.
Thanks for stopping by and I'm really looking forward to visting your blogs to see what your come up with. And if you need ideas, swing by the rest of the design team...but I must warn you... be prepared to be WOW-ed!
Beijinhos!
So sweet! Love this 70s look!
