Natalia Kuzak - I used the No Rain No Flowers Stamps and stencils from the latest Polkadoodles One of A Kind collection. I love how it's so easy to add lots of layers and inks to something like this tag...

RACHAEL - Have you seen the latest stamp release? There are several beautiful stamps in the one of a kind collection. In my mind, this stamp was just asking for vibrant, bright bold colours, so I used a combination of inks and copic markers to make it really pop. This stamp is called fly me anywhere, and is super versatile!

Merja - This time I used Fantasy Moon image. I love everything fantasy themed and this image is super beautiful and versatile to work with. I added the background with a text editor program before printing the image. Then I coloured the image with alcohol markers. Lastly I added a glittery gold paint pen to brighten the text, stars and some other areas. I really love this card 💚

Nat Martin - This time I could not resist using the cute Milkshake Drink Rebel digistamp, I love this one, she has so much attitude. The background papers are from the Coffee Tea Cake Digital Paper kit - Hope you like It! ❤️

OK, over to the challenge - let's see what the team have created for you today! More great projects from the team this month!

NATALIA KUZAK - Hello everyone, this week I'm sharing a concertina tag using lots of inks and combination of stamps. I used this lovely January Knowledge is everything girl stamp with Stamp Soup and the Funky Flowers clear stamps too - hope you like it!

Janelle - Hello crafty friends! I looove this mama and child and had to use this to celebrate Mother’s Day. 💖🐘🧒🏻. For this card I used Family Love Elephant and sentiments Tons of Love.

Copics used:

Mama elephant C00, 0, 1, 3
Child elephant N0, 2, 4
Nails W00, 0, 2
Cheek R01, 11

Sabina - Today I am sharing a mixed media tag using Rainbow Rebel stamp, coloured with Ohuhu markers. The sentiment is part of Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments .

Irre - Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a playing card-card using one of my favourite collections - Winnie Wonderland. I love how all the texture and ink turned out on this card...

Tinne - Hi everyone! For this challenge I created a soccer card using the Soccer Football Gnome precoloured image. I glued 2 white rectangle stitched cardstock pieces on top of a slightly bigger white base card. I cut out 2 little tags. One out of navy cardstock, and one out of a paper from the Work & Play Paper Heaven 1 paper pack. I glued them on top of each other, showing just a litte bit of the navy tag. I cut a grass border out of green cardstock, and inked it with Lucky Clover and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I sprinkled it with water. Once drie, I sprinkled some Evergreen Bough and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink over it. I glued the grass border on the tag, and glued this on the card. I put foam tape behind my gnome image and a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments pack, and also glued them into place. I made a bow out of twine, and glued it on the top of my tag. I hope you like it! Instagram page: Tinne Peeters (@robinette_crafts) • Instagram-foto's en -video's

Wendy - Hi everyone I hope that you are all well. Today I'm here to share a card that I've made that would be perfect to send for Mother's Day, especially to let someone know that you care about them...Mothers Day can be a difficult time for many of us. It's a simple thinking of you card using a gorgeous image from the January collection. This sweetheart is Glass Half Full coloured with Promarkers. I've created a simple popup card from teal cardstock and combined this with dotty papers from the Happy Cactus collection. The sentiment which I have foiled is from the Honeypie Just Lovely greetings bundle

NATALIA KUZAK - Today, I would like to show you something completely different. I've been wanting to create something from the delightful Winnie Wonderland collection for a while now. It is available at the Polkadoodles store in various options, ranging from individual digital stamps to toppers and themed sets. I used the largest set for more flexibility in choosing elements, resulting in an interactive card with spinning wheels inside, perfect for this theme. All elements were printed and placed on the wheels, also decorating the entire card. How do you like it? Let me know!
