So let's get to today's inspiration...

Jane – I have used the lovely OCTOPUS KISSES from the WINNIE MERMAID MERMAZING COLLECTION on my card today creating a background with Distress Oxides over the FUNKY DAISY SMILE 2 IN 1 STENCIL. The sentiment is from WINNIE STARFISH & SANDCASTLES.

Pam ~ For my Mermaid/Ocean card I've combined two images ~ Winnie Mermaid - Mermazing Kisses and Winnie Starfish/ Sandcastles - Seahorse. I've colored them with Copic markers and made a slimline shaker card for the background. The shaker was made using the cellophane bag method with green iridescent confetti glitter as the filler. Once secured to the base with the open lattice frame, I then added the completed image to the center of the card.


Wendy - Who's ready for summer? I know I am! This cutie is living my summer dream - lounging in the sun with not a care in the world. If only, right? She's part of the VIPXXL EDITION Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Craft Printables collection. The little crab is one of many awesome digis that come with this package so you can add extra characters and elements to your scenes. I can't wait to color the rest of these adorable characters and build scenes for them to play in. Thank you for looking!


Rachael - Hi everyone, Rachael here again with this week's challenge inspiration. I did something this week, way out of my comfort zone, I coloured a whole scene with copics. This image is called Breaktime and I have expanded it to fill a whole 6x6 card, and coloured the background too. There are loads of new scenes released recently if this is something you love to do! check them all out!


Shruti - Hello everyone! I decided to use this amazing backing paper from the WINNIE STARFISH & SANDCASTLES collection and used it to create this cute shaker card using the fish from the same collection. Hope you like it - find out more on my social media! 

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Mermaids/Ocean and use the color palette that was orange/coral/aqua. I used the mermaid image Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - Kisses and copic colored her up in colors from the color palette. I printed the sentiment from Winnie Mermazing Mermaid Quotes, in the upper left corner when I printed out the background ocean scene from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Papers 4.

Martine - Hello all, here is my next card for you...with a sweet mermaid theme.
For this card Winnie Sunshine is gone shopping, she is in Sunshine Delight Shopping Bliss .
She decided to get her a mermaid dress... I also used some mermaid paper called Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles paper 7Well... it looks like she is shopping under water. I added some underwater plants to finish.

Super fun projects from the team this week - thanks so much for all your wonderful inspiration, ladies!

So let's get to today's inspiration...

Melanie - Morning crafters! Since I adore cats, I could not help but use Mod the cat. In order to create my scene, I also used the chair, rug and picture frames from Build a scene. For the images inside the pictures, I used the butterfly from Tropical sorbet bundle, the vase of blossoms from the Blooms 4 bundle and last but not least the Bear from Bella Bear with Heart. For my background, I used the yellow floral paper to create wallpaper from pretty spring papers and for the floor I used brown textured paper from the cactus succulent printable papers. I coloured the images using my spectrum noir alcohol markers and finished the card using the sentiment 'I'm so sorry' which is from the Winnie Daisy quotes and sentiments bundle. I think the card just shows you how versatile all the different images and bundles are from Polkadoodles and showcases how amazing digital crafting is as you can adapt anything to bring your vision to life.




Pam. I'm loving this Floral inspiration card today! I've selected Polkadoodles Blooms 5 Tulip/Peony floral bundle. I've enlarged them to fill the card front and used my Copic markers for the deep rich coloring. After adding the deep purple horizontal strip, I added a stamped Happy Birthday sentiment to complete this fun card.

Jane – This cute little guy is called SCRUFF DOG WITH HEART COOKIES, and I have teamed him with paper from the HORACE & BOO COLLECTION and a ‘delicious’ sentiment from WINNIE SUNSHINE DELIGHTS.

Wendy - Hi everyone!  I found the most beautiful image to color this week. This is Nature's Beauty Girl with Flowers in Hair. Isn't she gorgeous?!? I love coloring people, especially when there's so much detail to play with. I colored her with my Copic markers. Stop by the Polkadoodles store and check her out. Thank you for looking!

Rachael - Hi crafting friends. This week for some floral inspiration I made this super simple card using the blooming lovely collection This can be downloaded or purchased on a USB, so it's so handy. I coloured mine using alcohol markers, but you could just use the pre-colored version too. I decoupaged the flowers so its 3d and finished with a large sentiment also from the collection.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Critters/Animals. I used the adorable craft bundle: Mr. Sox the Fox. This bundle comes with 1 black & white digital image, 1 pre-coloured digital image, outline cutting files, 2 digital sentiments and 6 digital pattern papers.

Kim Stewart - For my project this week i chose one of the digis from the new/old Lilybug Ladybird line. I picked one of the precoloured digis for my project called Fun Lily Ladybug I fussy cut her out and matted her onto two of the Ephemera elements. I also used some of the plain coloured and decorative hearts which i layered on top of and undernearth my main image for some extra layering and attention. I chose decorative papers from the paper pack bundles 2 & 5 out of the Big Kahuna download. I had to add some mulberry flowers to finish off the card. This would also make a wonderful Mother's Day card. Have a crafty Week!

Super fun projects from the team this week - thanks so much for all your wonderful inspiration, ladies!
