JaneP... We found this amazing canvas by Jane in our archives so we thought we'd reshare it as we love it so much - awesome texture Jane! This uses our January Heart on Your Sleeve character coloured with Copics and given some MM treatment...

Lil Miss Sugarpops Mermaid digi collection - great for planners and journals!

And if you love mixed media but it scares you a little here at Polkadoodles we feel your pain! We have a ton of products which can give you the mixed media look without having to get all dirty and grungey - this great folder project has been made into a shaker cover but looks really mixed media even though it uses a digital printable paper !https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/dolphin-mermaid-precoloured-digi-download/

So you CAN achieve a great look with not much work!

Thank you, ladies! Gorgeous projects as always from the team!

Irre - Hi there! I fell in love with the Serenity stamps, so today I'm sharing a tag with the Serenity Fairy Princess. I changed her skirt by adding art stones, to create some more texture to the tag. I also used the distressed trellis stencil and added poinsettia lace flowers behind the fairy princess.
