polkadoodles challenge card

this week Polkadoodles challenge was to use the download provided & if you wanted to you could follow the sketch so I did both! I experimented a little with my stampin up! ink pads as the sky for the most part was done with this using rubbing alcohol instead of water I think it came out quite well the rest of the colouring was done with my letraset markers

the ladybugs were cut 1" using WIMG the red parts I tripple embossed with red but had to go over them with a red marker as had some whiteout happening I think this happens if it gets too hot

the notes are peel offs, I cut & coloured an additional branch which is popped on the front
the grass is cut using DS & PDDU
the fence was cut following the sketch LO using DS & GBS which I then embossed & coloured the feature lines in a brown marker to give definition to the bark effect

the inside I have created a backing paper with the bird on the branch image repeated
The sheet music is in the tune of 'Happy Birthday'

which you can change the name on to the person you are sending the Birthday card too, neat eh! this is to my dear friend Debbie (don't look Deb!)
