Creative Moments Challenge – Winter

This month’s challenge at Creative Moments is sponsored by the fabulous Polkadoodles. This image was stamped with a clear stamp but is also available in a digi – which is super versatile for cards of different sizes. The card I have made is a 6×4 inch and I have watercoloured the image with Promarker Aquamarkers. The backing papers are from Polkadoodles too, this is a paper pad called Christmas Blessings and the sentiment is from Hunkydory.

Cake and running

So, a fiftieth party of fizz and cake, for two friends who like running!  I found these two perfect digis on Polkadoodles’ Etsy store and used backing card from Hunkydory.  I cut some of the backing cards to use the bunting and cupcakes as embellishments.  And di dthe inside too.  (Apologies for the ascribbling, I should have photographed before writing),  I then made a gift tag using the same Hunkydory kit.
