I hope the New Year will bring you lots of joy, health and happiness and of course lots of crafting!!! And to get your crafty mojo flowing we have a new Polka Doodles challenge to inspire you!
This week, we have a colour theme - we'd like your creation to be in shades of grey. And we also have a sketch for you to follow:
The lucky winner will receive a special set of Flexmarkers from Letraset - of course in shades of grey ;). And here is what I prepared for this challenge:
For my card I used papers from the Sundae of Seasons CD and the stamp from the Neighbours range. I really love this stamp, although I have not had a chance to ink it up before. The image was coloured with water colour pencils and cosmic shimmer water colour paints.
To embellish the card I used lots of die cuts, some old ones (from Nestabilities and Tim Holtz) and some new ones from Marianne Designs. I also added some vintage lace.
The piccies were taken using my brand new photo studio (with a super fabby light tent and special lamps) that I got from Santa for Christmas - thank you, Santa!!! Now, I just need to learn to use it to its best advantage lol ;).
The new year also brings new and super exciting news from Polka Doodles!
First of all, we are now launching a fabulous new craft club and magazine - Pen & Paper Circle club!!!

Hi
Wow, you really created something beautiful for this challenge proving that shades of gray are anything but dull.
I love the added shimmer on the snowflakes and especially on the flower.
