A Polkadoodles Birthday Card! And some good news!

Happy New Year! And here's wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!

We had the best news ever last week - my daughter is in complete remission from her cancer! The last 6 months have been quite trying, but I've found so much creativity in your blogs, you always cheered me up when I felt low. Never underestimate the encouragement that art can give - because we may call what we do 'crafting' in a slightly deprecatory way, but really it's ART! THANK YOU!!!!!

I made this card some time ago for my daughter's boyfriend's father's birthday - he is a gardener, as you can probably tell!


The stamps are by Polkadoodles, last year I bought one of their Pen and Paper Circle magazines and this clear stamp set came with it. Unfortunately it seems to be out of print, I'm sorry about that.

I did some masking with the hydrangea flowers, the flowerpots and the wheelbarrow. I coloured in Promarkers - and wouldn't you know? I've lost the list! D'oh!

The blue section of the card background is stamped in Broken China Distress Ink with a Hero Arts Envelope Pattern background stamp. The grass is a Marianne die-cut which I dabbed over with Peeled Paint DI. The zig-zag patterned paper underneath is by Pink Petticoat. The sentiment stamp was free with a magazine and also stamped with Peeled Paint. Finally, the twine came from Whiff of Joy.

I apologise for the lack of links, I lost that list, too! Double D'oh!!

I hope you're all keeping well! Stay warm and dry - especially those across the Pond who are suffering such freezing temperatures, and those on this side who are threatened by rain and floods.

Take care, lovely friends! Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x
