Gosh, Saturday has rolled round again. I know I say this every week, but where is time going? I'm going to have to start making Christmas cards soon!
This week over at Sweet Stampin' we want to see your doodles. Whether you're only comfortable doodling a border or if you want to create and entire card of doodles, we'd love to see them. Just remember to include some stamping on your work to be eligible for our top three.

I used Clearly Besotted's Simply Succulent set, which has a mix and match set of succulents and pots. I stamped the elements on different coloured cardstock and fussy cut them. I then arranged them on my 6x6 card base and glued them in place. I'd cut the spikes off some of them (no way, was I attempting to cut round them!) and so I drew them in with a fine liner. I also used this to doodle a border on my card. I did sneak in a bit more doodling too, I added some more patterns to the pots - see below for the before picture! I think these succulents would be great for men's cards, must make some more! I hope you all have a great weekend and have time to get some crafting done, hopefully you'll manage to get some doodling done too!
Clever thinking outside the box with your doodling! Fab cheery card x
ReplyDeleteSuch fun doodling and love the layout of your card. Yes I am with you on cutting the spiky bits off and then popping them back with a pen! x
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you showed the before. Love your nice doodling. It adds so much. [Bunny]

Hi Cara, so loving this card. Don't blame you for cutting the spikes off. I wish I could cut the spikes off my real cacti as I'm sure it jumps out at me! Happy crafty weekend, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteOh I love all your cactus plants, great idea to add the patterns to the pots too!

Hi Cara, love all your doodling in the pots, if you hadn't said I'd thought it was part of the stamp set. Have a wonderful weekend.. Megan
ReplyDeleteI love your card Cara, love the bright colours and the doodling is brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog about Freya's card, she is always drawing or painting. She now has her own box of craft goodies, a lesson I learned very quickly last yr when she got into my craft room while I was making dinner and ruined every one of my ink pads by taking the lids off and rubbing them all together then for good measure got the lid off a pot of glitter and poured it all over them and my desk lol...and all this was in under 5 mins ! My craft room now has a lock ;)
