Corry I started out with my Background and used Distressinks and the Number Collage stencil. After that I stamped the flowers on my card. I stamped the flowers again, but now on a piece of paper.  I have cut the flowers out of the paper and colored them with orange colors. Then I glued it onto the card. I used some backgroundstamps for it . For the circles I used a cap and dipped them into the Gesso. The only thing that was missing were some sentiments. Last but not least I stamped the sentiments onto a piece of paper and cut it out and glued it onto my card. And with a fineliner I have put black lines around the text.

The products that I have worked with are:

Irre: Hello everyone. Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I've made for my niece's birthday. I started by stamping Ula Create on a white paper. Then I stamped all over the paper with different kinds of stamps. Like the picture below shows. 

Then I colored all the stamping with Copics. I cut down the paper in a size I wanted and layered two patterned papers behind the stamped paper. I added a sentiment on a die-cut tag and added some sewing thread too.

I hope you liked my card!

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!

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.

Challenge #13, Anything Creative/Mixed Media goes at Love 2 Create Challenges

Welcome back to another challenge! 

As always, the theme this month is  
Anything Creative Mixed Media Goes
You don't have to use Polkadoodles products to enter the challenge.
The challenge closes 30th October so there's loads of time to play along.

Our sponsor for 2018 is Polkadoodles and you can check out all the wonderful selection of Polkadoodles goodies in the shop below.

PRIZE: $10 gift voucher 
from Polkadoodles for our lucky winner, (chosen by random.org) - this voucher can be spent across the whole store, so you can use it on dies, stamps, papers, whatever you wish...make sure you check out their store below, they have lots of fab products including stamps, dies, papers, digis and much more...

Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT...


GDT Katrina  - Here's ULA Be a Mermaid in Swishy Tail mood!  This is a large bookmark for my planner.. you know, so I can mark those "swishy tail kind of days"! 

I started by adhering this adorable Polkadoodles ULA digi to a starfish die cut and cut it with my Cricut.  I then added some Copic coloring, gel marker to her tail and Liquid Glass to the shell.  I inked around the starfish and added some white gel pen to the smaller starfish.  I printed the sentiment onto the tag die cut from Polkadoodles Winston Collection and cut it with the Cricut, also.  

Now comes the messy fun!  I sprayed the tag with homemade mist.  I made this mist with ink, metallic paint and water.  I started with the light blue and then added green for the next layer of spray.  Next, I got out some Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel and applied it over a stencil.  I sprayed with the green again and then a light mist of Color Bloom Spray (Glistening Waves) by Prima.  

The sand was sort of an experiment.  I covered a sand die cut with Ranger Crackle Paste and sprinkled embossing powder over it.  I then heat set it.  I added a couple of layers to that.  I then applied some glitter glue and sprinkled some teal seed pearls over that.  Once dry, I adhered it to the bottom of the tag.

My net is a piece of wall repair tape.  I inked it and stretched it out of shape and adhered it.  I added some sparkles and twine/ribbon/cheesecloth to the top.

Jan For my project this time I made a tag, the background was made using Brusho's and Oxide inks, I also used a brick stencil and doodled around.

Julia Hi there, I have decorated a 8"v8" canvas using book paper, & watercolours to create a galaxy sky effect, I have then gone over it with heavy Gel Medium and some polkadoodles Stencils. I then highlighted the texture using gilding wax. Finally I added my unicorn from Octavia - Frosted Winter and blinged her up with some embellishments from my stash. If you would like to see the full process of how I created this you can find it here..

Octavia Frosted Winter

Accents Stencil

Terry: I have made my first Christmas card for your inspiration. I worked on the background with black acrylic paint, when it was dry I played with Purple, Blue and White Acrylic Paints. I have stamped the cute Robin Branch Stampset, this cute stamp comes with a Die set too did you know?? isn't it just fabulous....This time I used only the stampset. And the little stars that I embossed are from the Winter Flurries Stamp Set. The branch is from the Robin Branch Stampset too and I colored it with Pencils and after that I played with glitter frost. And last but not least I stamped the Season's Greetings and embossed it with white embossingpowder.

And here is our NEW teamie, Corry's card. she will post herself in November but to make you curious what she makes, here is her first card.

Corry I want to show you my first card that I made for polkadoodles.

The background I made with distress ink and a mask .

At first I stamped the flowers on the background,
then I stamped another flower and cut it out of its paper.
I colored the flower with alcohol ink and placed it on the top on the stamping flower on the background.
The same thing I did with the butterfly. Then I stamped the little flowers and applied glitter accent.

Some of the products that I have used are:
