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. 



Polkadoodles Goodies used
Daisy Friends Stamp Set

Jane - I have decorated a piece of grey board today using texture paste, stencils and metallic paint. I also added some of the fabulous Polkadoodles dies and this GORGEOUS Winnie stamp.

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..


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. 



The products that I worked with are:


 Cute Robin Branch Stampset and Die Cut set

 Winter Flurries Clearstamp set



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.

Welcome back to another challenge! 

As always, the theme this month is

You don't have to use Polkadoodles products to enter the challenge.
The challenge closes 31 Juy 2018 so there's loads of time to play along.

http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/

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

Nikky...I've used the fab Chipboard fairy door kit for this project, combined with our Posydoodles stamps. I find you barely need to add anything to the chipboard anyway, but all I did was paint it with gesso and then add a little Vintage Photo distress ink to the edges and glue down all the pieces, tucking in a little reindeer moss along the way. I stamped flowers and embossed with white embossing powder then just added a sprinkle of my fave Frantage powders and that was it...
... and this is a 2nd version of this kit - completely different when it uses bright colours! These papers and stamps were all from this Splash of Summer kit here....


Gemma- I have an altered house shaped chipboard blank to share with you all today that I used some wonderful Polkadoodles stamps on along with different paints and sprays from my stash. More details can be found on my blog.
Products from Polkadoodles
Time to BloomJu


Terry: I have made a card for you this month with Summer colors, I worked on the background with Distress Oxides and played with lots of stamps from Belle Papillon and Regal Peacock. Just love both stampsets especially the smaller stamps are very versatile. I have colored the butterflies with the same colors Distress Oxides and all the smaller flowers too, to fit everything together. I hope I am giving you some inspiration for this month's challenge


Julia I there I have made a little mixed media card, I actually went for a walk and picked up some sticks especially for this project. I also used some packaging to create a textured background. The card was inspired by Nikky's gorgeous new Critters collection which you can find here 
I used the Foxy Fun Felt kit for the little Felt mushroom and the Nuts about you stamp set to create the little Acorns and then the dies from Beary Hugs for the foliage. Full details on my blog.

Tina de Marche...
make sure you check out her blog HERE..... Thanks so much for all your amazing work in the past few weeks Tina, we've loved seeing your amazing inspiration!

Tina...This is my last Guest project for WeLove2Create, I have really enjoyed it.  This image was colored with colored pencils.  I sprayed the canvas with some inks and added a little bit of texture with some molding paste and stencils.  Metal, chipboard, gems, leather, twine, embossing powders, paints and inks were use in this creation.
Terry: Hey there guys, this time I made a Butterfly card for your inspiration, I have worked on the background with Distress Oxides, the butterflies from Nikky's Stampset Belle Papillon are colored with the Distress Oxides too. The sentiments in the background are from the Stampset Papillon and the little detaills in the background are from the Reagal Peacock stampset. Everything Polkadoodles, love it The tiny detailled stamps are so versatile and easy to use for your Mixed Medium Project, you should really try it out.
Julia I have used the gorgeous new Posy Doodles, Honey Daisy stamp set I stamped onto rice paper and then adhered to a plastic jar. I then used some twine to wrap around the top of the jar. I stamped out loads of the flowers and coloured them using my Ecoline pens, and fussy cut them & used them to embellish the jar. Full details on my blog.

Gemma
Something new for me this month, I had never made something using these techniques before and if I am very honest I am not sure it was a success but it is always good to try something new to push your self in whatever you are doing so I thought I would share it with you all anyway.  I stamped the lovely butterflies from the Belle Papillon stamp set onto Belle Papillon paper and coloured them in before gluing it to an acrylic frame, which I then filled with layers of melted embossing powder and glitter.

Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT. As you can see our talented team have been busy working their creative/mixed media magic for you .....

Terry: I have made a gift envelope with a small card to go with it. This small envelope was made with the fabulous papers from Polkadoodles, Just love them because it has so many fabulous butterflies and colors on it. So I cut out an envelope from a template from DD. I then cut the papers and placed them on the envelope. The borders are worked on with Distress Ink and I placed some sentiments on the card and on the envelope to finish my project.








Gemma  You can never have too many birthday cards, can you?  Pop back to the blog on the 11th for my step by step tutorial.


xx Gemma xx
Belle Papillon Stamp


Lou Sims: I've decided to alter a phone box that I've had for eons using the following Polkadoodles products: Tropical Underworld clear stamp set, Stitched Circles dies, Scenic Landscape dies, oodles of mediums, distress inks and my pan pastels. More photos and details of products used can be found on my blog HERE ...





Julia McNeill....This is a litttle wooden birdhouse I picked up and I painted using Yellow and Pink Acrylic paints. I then used the new Polkadoodles Time to Bloom Stamp set. I stamped a little detail onto the house using white Gesso, and then stamped the little border onto the house. The bird and flowers and stamped them on watercolour card, coloured with my zig pens and decorated the house with them...




 Jan Marshall...using Polkadoodles stamps Great Days clear stamp set  , Distress Oxides for the base, I heat embossed the flowers and then used water colour paints, added some snips of ribbon and my tag was ready to go ...


Julia McNeill.... For this card I started with the A4 papers from the new Polkadoodles Posy Doodles collection and covered the card. I then cut out 3 circles from a coordinating paper. The circles were then inked using Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers. I stamped over using the Special Times stamp set. I mounted it onto the card, and then used an inktence pencil to create a shadow around the circles to make them stand out from the page. I then added a few strips of paper from the 6x6 Posy Doodles paper. I stamped up the flowers on watercolour card and coloured up with SN sparkle pens, shaped the flowers and then added them to the card. The whole card was edged with distress ink Black suit. To finish off, I grabbed the die, used it as a stencil to edge the circles with some doodling & finally a load of white paint splattery stuff...
