Irre: Here I am with a Christmas card for you all. I started by coloring the cute Rudolph from the Winne White collection with Copics. Then I used the accents stencil on the background on Rudolph and on one of the papers from the vintage journal & ephemera paper collection. I attached them together. Then I die-cut out poinsettia flowers that I assembled and decorated the card with. I also glued some rhinestones in the middle of the flowers. 
 Next, I made a mixture of modeling paste and mini art stones that I added to the card here and there. Finally, I die-cut out a sentiment to the card. I hope you really liked my card, I'm so happy with it. 

Now for my big suprise. I've made a step-by-step video of me coloring the Rudolph. You can find it on my YouTube-channel or in my blogpost when you click on my name above.

Irre: Hello everyone. New challenge. And today I'm sharing an art journal page.
For this one, I used ink sprays and played with the background with stencils and stamps.
As the focal point, I had a lot of fun by using some tree dies together with flower stamps. To both trees and flowers, I did some doodling too with a white pen.

I'm really pleased with the result.  Love to see your creations!



Polkadoodles products used: 
Accents Stencil, 6x6"


Jane - I have decorated a page in my A6 art journal again this month.  I used my gel press, lots of accent stamps and a stencil to create the background...

...this gorgeous lady and dragonfly were coloured with watercolours.





Polkadoodles Products Used:
Stamps
Stencil
Pretty Butterfly

Terry: I have made a Autumn butterfly card, lots of distress ink colors on my background and topped with Gesso, the background has been worked on with the Texture Galore, Honey Daisy and Vintage Text Stampsets. The Doodle Borders stampset is used all around my card. I embossed the butterflies and colored them too, a bit of shimmer on them and sentiments from the sentiments pad.






The products that I have used are:

Eulanda - I made this canvas which is not my usual thing, if you want to find out more you can see here...I used the Pretty Butterfly stencil with some white gesso & the Ula "Be Yourself" clear stamp set, which is available from Polkadoodles stockists world-wide. 
She just screamed mixed media so I first colored her using my Prismacolor pencil crayons and then added some texture images from the Textures Galore stamp set.  
I also added and colored in the Great Outdoors sun using distress inks.  Oh and there is a similar image in the store with a few great sentiments as well as more fabulous Ula images. My papers are from the Bright & Beautiful and Sweet Tweet 6" x 6" craft paper packs. On this side of the canvas I used the Unicorns & Rainbows and Winter Accents 6" x 6" stencils for the big stars and small patterned stars.  You can find out more about my process over on my blog here...




Lou: I decided to make an inky style card paying no real attention to my colouring splodging & splattering the water colour inks. I've mixed the floral images from the Pretty Perfect & Brighter with You stamp sets. I created the background using the frames from the Perfect Wishes sentiment & Frames stamp set, colouring as per the flowers and then further splatts added with white gesso. As a finishing touch, I've added a few sequins.




Gorgeous projects as always!
