Polkadoodles - Week 13 Challenge

Happy Friday!! It's time for a new challenge at the Polkadoodles challenge blog today! Polkadoodles is a UK company with cute, Cute, CUTE papercrafting goodies. I've been having such a fabulous time creating these last weeks!

The challenge information can be found on the blog here. The theme is always Anything Goes, and you have a chance to win via random selection and DT favorite!

For my card today, I have used the pre-colored Nature Lover - January (digi). One of the great things about this company is the versatility they allow you as a crafter! If you aren't that into coloring, digitally colored versions of nearly all images are available, and they are a GORGEOUS alternative. Even if you LOVE to color, sometimes you don't have that much time, so a pre-colored image can be the difference between creating a card and leaving it half-done. Today, I've made this birthday card, with lots and LOTS of flowers!

This is such a sweet image! I really the January line. As I mentioned earlier, she also comes as a standard black & white line art image for you to color yourself. So many versatile options from Polkadoodles! This image can be used for ANY occasion.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to link up your lovelies over at the Polkadoodles blog for your chance to win!

Today I've used elements from 3 different sets to create this MEGA prehistoric scene! It was so much fun to get outside of the "box" with this card. I merged the Sabertooth kitten, trees, and volcano, and hand-colored them with Copics. The pterodactyl is the precolored version, and I fussy cut him out and made him 3D up in the sky. The small secondary sentiment is from Rubbernecker stamps' new Dinosaur set, I thought it went well with this scene. Frame die from Gina Marie, clouds done by hand with template.

I stamped the little flowers onto patterned paper and die cut them as well. They've been added to the sentiment tag panel using foam tape. Rhinestones from my stash.
