Mid-challenge inspiration with Polkadoodles

Hello again,

We're mid-challenge over at the Polkadoodles challenge blog so I'm here to offer some DT mid-challenge inspiration :) 


The theme - a sketch as you can see above; I have used Kraft card as the backing mat to all my papers and the delicious papers are all from the Pretty Sweet CD collection from Polkadoodles. 
I have distressed the edges of each layer and then added a little Tim Holtz frayed burlap distress ink to the edges to add to the effect.

The image is Amelia Roses and she is from the Pretty Sweet CD collection but is also available on her own for digi download!  How fabulous is that :D


 I have coloured Amelia with my Graph'it Markers in the following tones:
Skin: 4120, 4115, 4155, 4145
Hair: 1210, 1230, 1280, 3110
Clothes: 5125, 5110, 5140, 9201, 9203, 9205
I added a little stamped postage mark around her, using frayed burlap ink (second generation print) before I distressed and matted her.

The fabulous bunting is a cut file from the NEW Winston CD - seriously, that collection is so full you will be using it on everything for ages!!!

To make sure I got back to the sketch!  I added:
I added flowers and then die cuts from Tattered lace called Florentine Corner - which cut so easily on the Kraft card! A large heart die cut from my sillouette under the image (distress inked too), lace across the middle also distressed inked and I think that's it!  I left off one heart from the sketch but if I won't tell if you don't lol and with a bit of luck the boss won't see haha



I hope you like it and I look forward to you joining us for the Polkadoodles challenge.

Happy Crafting :D
