I made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: something feminine, showcasing Polkadoodles.
The AAA Birthday Challenge: flowers.
I do have 2 sets of Polkadoodle stamps: meow you doing and a monster, but they didn't seem very feminine, although I am a female and love cats, the set didn't seem to fit...so
My card is made with the Simon says Stamp Blooming circle die, I diecut it from stencil material and then applied Distress inks through it. I lost the inner flower bits this way, but I don't mind, it still says flowers to me.
I could have inlaid it, might do that still on another card.
The sentiment is also Simon Says Stamp, from the Birthday Balloons set. I thought the swirly writing is very feminine and I stamped it with Versafine Clair ink.
The little fairy I already had in my stash colored up, it's from Joy Crafts and I stuck in on top with foamtape.

The Less is More Challenge is: big and small.
This is my second card as I just liked this digi so much I bought it on purpose for the challenge. It's from the March release of Whimsy digi stamps.
I printed it on markers paper and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.I added the sentiment while I was editing the digi in Photoshop.
I printed it as big as possible, leaving as much white space too, so the details are still tiny, don't look too close hehe.

This fortnight the AAA Cards Challenge is: Maxi White Space with the option of Metallic.
Our Sponsor is Pink and Main and you could win a $20 giftcard.
I have used My Favorite Things' Panda Pals and the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Punny Animals. I stamped both with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and the grass in green. that's just to ground the panda. The panda is not solid black, more sketched and I couldn't handle that, it looks like I stamped it badly, so I filled it in with a black Memento marker. It's personal, you don't have to do this.
There are plenty of good sentiments in the MFT set, but this one from SSS is smaller, giving me more white/empty space.
I've stamped directly on the cardbase.
I didn't film this, as I thought it to be too simple for a tutorial.
