Hi there, sharing another make from today's Hochanda show. I love the Posy Doodle paper kits, they are brilliant for getting a gorgeous mixed media look really quickly as Nikky has done all the hard work for us.

Altered Watering Can


Hello All ... great excitement today as Polkadoodles are back on Hochanda. We are thrilled to be showcasing The Stampin Unicorn stamps.

For this project I have altered a watering can. I used stamp Sets Blossom, Dotty about Flowers and Heavenly Bluebells. I stamped it up on rice paper and coloured up using Ecoline Pens, I then used a decoupage medium to adhere it to the watering can. I then painted parts of the can using paint from Indigo Blu and then finished off with a little string. The flower has been created by stamping onto stone paper and colouring with Ecoline pens.

I then stamped in the circles using Special Times Clear Stamps . I used a inktense pencil to create shadowing around the circles to help them stand out and added some strips of paper from the Posy Doodles 6x6 paper stack. I stamped the flowers on watercolour card stock and used my sparkle pens to colour them up, shaped them and added to the card to create a little dimension.

Polkadoodles - Posy Doodles, Kraft Card


Hi All .. sharing another make from the gorgeous new Posy Doodle range from Polkadoodles. I thought I would share this card, as I confused our poor Nikky as to how I had made this card lol.

Firstly I used the Special Times clear stamp set I coloured up the stamp using my Ecoline pens, stamped with it and spritzed with water to diffuse it. I then overstamped in black using the best of days stamp set. I then took a tag from the paper kit and fussy cut out the little girl and layered it over the stamping I had done. I also cut out the edging of the tag to create the little black and white strips. I then mounted put a small wash of gesso over the kraft card just to give it more of a mixed media feel.

Polkadoodles - Posy Doodles Notepad



Hi All ... we are so excited today as Polkadoodles Debuts on Hochanda. the latest Posy Doodles range is just sooooo utterly gorgeous. I honestly couldn't put this kit down.

For this make I used the A4 Papers and some of the gorgeous toppers. I have covered a set of sticky notes to make a little notepad, I then used the circle die with one of the toppers to create a little pocket to pop a few tags in .... & I decorated a few paperclips by cutting out a flower and butterfly from the topper kit.

I have to say I was reluctant to let this one go ... I may have to make another one for myself.
