Ready for the party!

Hello, I'm back again with a new challenge for everyone over at Polkadoodles!  And this week our challenge is  'The Colour Purple'.

I decided to make a gatefold card for this one, and I've used one of the gorgeous digi images from the Polkadoodles cd 'Fredericka' - and this elegant one is called 'Debutante'


I've coloured the image with promarkers 


The beautiful backing papers are from the Polkadoodles 'Cherryblossom Lane' cd. I've added some Marianne die cut flowers, and the leafy flourish is a JoyCrafts die.  I've added some dark purple ribbon and some purple gems from stash. 

Hope you'll pop across to the Polkadoodles challenge blog and see the fabulous inspiration from the DT!  And there are some great tutorials appearing on there now for some ideas and inspiration.

And there is also a fabulous new cd coming from Polkadoodles which is on a pre-order called Bonbon Belles - and if you pop across to the Polkadoodles website HERE you can link up to a great preview of what's on the new cd with Nikky on a YouTube video!  A great idea so that you can have a look at what's on the cd before you buy! 

Back soon,
Kim x 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:-
CharismaCardz - divas
Crafting with Dragonflies - card for a girl
FabnFunky - girly
