Challenge 1 Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes!

Good morning and a big warm welcome to our new challenge, our very first challenge sponsored by the fabulous Polkadoodles!!
Polkadoodles Ltd

The challenge will run monthly (think one runs til the end of October) so you've got plenty of time to play along and you can use any products to enter!
There are a few more exciting changes too as we'll be having monthly tutorials from the DT, some awesome Guest Designers and  best of all ...... amazing prizes!!!
We often think about supercute images and gorgeous digital downloads when we think of Polkadoodles but the lovely Nikky Hall has a lot more up her sleeve that that.

Have you seen the beautiful range of stamps, dies and papers that you can find at Polkadoodles???

We didn't want to change everything though so we're sticking with the theme of
Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes
prize: Sponsored by Polkadoodles you can win these fab goodies!...
a big A5 clear stamp set and a 6x6" paper pad - both stunning and worth approx £23/$30!

So check out the inspiration from our DT and get crafting to be in with a chance of winning! As you can see our talented teamies have been busy working their mixed media magic for you .....


Terry: Hi there and welcome to our new Challenge Blog. I have a little project made for your inspiration. I worked on the background with lots of autumn colors and sprayed water on the inks to make em work on the card.. When the inks were dried up I played with a stencil and some Light Modelling Paste....After that I worked with some PanPastels in between the stencil and colored the cracks from the crackle. And to top it all off I placed a butterfly that I colored with PanPastels and crackle. I have placed some sentiments to finish my project
Gemma - Wow so we have some exciting new changes happening here and I hope you will all continue with us on this mixed media journey. I have a piece to share with you all today that I created on canvas board using beautiful papers and embellishments from the Polkadoodles Belle Papillion downloadables. More details can be found on my blog, but I glued the papers in place with gel mediums and added texture and colour with beaded gel and Gelatos. 



Lou: I've used the Royal Peacock stamps, loose water colouring techniques and the yummy Toadstool border die to create my wall handing. More details and photos can be found on my blog.



Gorgeous projects girls!

  5. Fabulous to have Polkadoodles as your new sponsor! Your DT inspiration and the sneak peek from Claire look fabulous, so I know their products must be great! Unfortunately, the photo of the prize would not load nor their website. I think it may be my computer which seems to be having issues today. Playing along, as always; really missed your challenge!
