Secret Surprise - REVEAL card marry me? LEAP YEAR!

 Stuck for as an idea how to reveal something as a surprise? I have coloured  up the CUPID DIGI STAMP using Copic markers and created this surprise reveal card, the deign papers you can find HERE

I was inspired by it being " Leap year" and thought its the time the ladies can ask there partner the question and thought it would be a fun way by doing a reveal card! you can purchase the die is designed by Wendy Poole, its not as hard as it may appear to create such a fun card..

Another fun way would be to create a gender reveal card , what a fun way to reveal the news at your baby shower party?..

anyway back to creating, have a fun week all you crafters and see you again soon. Nelly X

4 generation family clipboard: Polkadoodles blog challenge

Happy Friday everyone! ..for this weeks team challenge we was set a challenge to

1. Theme: Family/Older Generation

2- Using this : colour Palette an image which would appeal to someone in your FAMILY who is retired

3. Make: Something which has a photo keepsake included, IE a family photo, baby photo etc. i.e. a card for a grandma with a photo of you and your children included in there.

Initially I was going to create a scrap page but then I wanted the picture to be on display to enjoy so I cut a piece of MDF board to create a clipboard I covered with Gesso and added texture paste to flower doodles stencil and stamped images using stamps from Butterfly and flowers collection. I manipulated some old photos of my daughter, mum and grandma so it looked like all 4 generations was all together in the picture! This was so out of my usual comfort zone but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and a real family keepsake! Here is my take on this challenge, hope you like it!
