My first GDT card for Polly craft

It is challenge time over at Polly Craft and this week it was my first time entering as a GDT member so I am very excited :D The prize this week for the winner is a massive £15 gift voucher to spend at Polly Craft !!!


This card was harder to make than I thought as I wanted to get so many favourite things into it. I love sparkle and so the cute little twiddly wings image has been coloured with sparkling H2O's and then for even more sparkle I have added the gems. Then I also love the colour purple so that had insiper my colour theme. The papers are all from my fav cd Designers extreme vol III and the image is of course from Polly Craft! Then I have fitted in my love of animals and fairies with the image its self and the sentiment is for my love of magic and freebies as it was a Friday freebie over at Polly craft :D
Phew if you have got to the end of this mamouth post well done and thanks lol

I have to admit I struggled with this one I do not normally make vintage cards but I am quite pleased how it turned out. I have used this super cute image called Holly in England. She I have used the ready coloured version but then decoupaged her and added tiny gems to her hat and sakura gel to her umbrella so it shines. All the gorgeous papers are from Designers extreme vol II
The lace corners and peel offs are from my stash.

To celebrate the launch there is going to be a Bearly Mine BLOG HOP on the 15th of August and you are all invited it will be a great chance to see what this amazing disc has in store and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Now on to this card. This week ABC are again at the end of the alphabet and Z is for zero embellishments! Now I am not normally very good at that I love all the flowers and sparkle but I have used some incredible papers from the new Designers extreme vol III disc and they are so gorgeous it made it easy to leave them just as they are :D The insert is also from the disc though on the disc the circle in the centre is white I made it yellow just to fit a bit more with my personal mix of colours. The image is from Pink cat studios and I have coloured her with promarkers.
