This is not actually my week to join in with the challenge but it’s been a rough few days (my dad died on Monday and one of our dogs had to be put to sleep a couple of weeks ago) so I needed to take my mind off things and I think we all know where that leads…..crafting and getting messy.


I have used some of the brand new POLKADOODLES STAMP SETS that were launched recently on Hochanda to create an underwater scene.


I ‘adapted’ some of the images to make a ‘jellyfish’ an ‘angel fish.. type thing(!)’ and a ‘mermaid’. 


Ingredients:
Colouring: Spectrum Aqua Markers: Fawn, Peach, Sandstone, Spice, Sea Green, Lake Blue, Fern, Hot Pink, Amber & Purple
Colouring Paper: Watercolour
Dies: POLKADOODLES CHERRY BLOSSOM - Tonic 'Nesting Circles'

LDRS Creative – Sweet Treats!


Hello everybody!  I'm back again! 😏

I am posting on the LDRS CREATIVE INSPIRATION BLOG today and I have used some of the older releases mixed with some of the new products now available to pre-order. 


I do love this HEART FELT BUILD-A-CARD DIE SET it makes it so easy to create a shaped card and it comes with lots of accessory dies too so it’s fantastic value.


I coloured two of the wee piggies from the SWEET TREATS STAMPS AND DIES and created a scene with papers and some of the NORTH WOODS STAMPS AND DIES too.

 Don’t ask me why I gave them such podgy cheeks….I have no answer for you!
