Hello everyone and happy Sunday I hope that your having a good weekend.
I hope you have heard the news already in your VIP email from Polkadoodles but if not then you are going to love this - everyone's favourite penguin Theo is back in a brand new collection of adorable images.....and for a limited time there is a 45% discount.
The brand new Snowy Days collection is perfect for all of those Winter celebrations, definitely not just for Christmas! and is packed with 28 adorable characters, icy scenes, and snowy designs—perfect for Christmas, Winter birthdays, and seasonal celebrations.
The collection includes colouring pages, pre-coloured clipart, greeting stamps, paper patterns and more for card making, digital scrapbooking, junk journals, and printable craft stickers.
There's loads of inspiration from the Polkadoodles Design team on the website in the gallery if you are looking for more ideas
Today I'm sharing my first card perfect for all those Winter celebrations and very easy to create. It's an adorable and super sparkly A6 landscape (UK size) card.
I've used one of the wonderful wintery scenes from the collection, resizing this for my card before printing out. Then I have added a peice of double sided sticky sheet over the entire background before covering with super sparkly fine glitter.
Its an old bit magical technique called the Cracked Ice technique and perfect for those hoards of glitter that I'm sure we all have! If you want a demonstration of this technique then there is a great YouTube video from 3 years ago by Jamie Rodgers that's worth a watch - here is the link
Once the background scene was complete and all the glitter completely burnished onto the card I adhered this panel to my card blank. Theo with his ice cream was resized and printed out onto alcohol friendly card before colouring with my Promarkers (see below for colours) and then fussy cutting out by hand.
I added a die cute frame of silver mirri card to the card before adhering Theo at the bottom of the scene with foam tape for dimension.
The winter sentiment was layered onto more silver mirri card and added to the top left corner of the card.
The finishing touches were some white gelly roll pen highlights to Theo. A super simple and very sparkly Winter card.
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
