So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week... they were asked to use a background printable scene from the Polkadoodles store...
Megan -The ocean is a great love of mine, when I saw the Coast beach sea - Scene background for colouring I knew I wanted to use it for my project. From there I decided a rainy beach scene would be fun and Cute chick with umbrella and rubber boots would fit perfectly. The last image in the scene I colored was the lighthouse, and sadly there was an unfortunate incident with a red Copic marker. I was determined not to scrap the scene and start over and settled on covering it with glitter to give a nice shimmery rain effect. At this point in my life, I have decided glitter can fix everything. I love the font on the sentiment I used from the Winnie Daisy greetings quotes collection. I hope this card inspires you to roll with the oopsies.

Kim S - Wow March already?. And spring is on it's way. For my design team challenge project this week I chose this lovely background scene digital image along with one of the ever so cute Springtime Smiles Easter digis for my card. I Coloured everything up with my Copic markers & Fussy cut out the cute bunny sitting on the easter egg digi and layered him onto the digital scene. I added a cute sentiment from the Spring Into Easter sentiments download.
Betsy - Happy spring! It's coming and this cute little chickie from the Cute Chick with Umbrella is ready! I used 2 papers from the Pretty Spring Papers and then placed my chick over those. I also printed the image out again and used just the plaid paper so I could get a plaid umbrella which I cut out and used a black marker for the edges. The coloring was minimal. Copic colors used: Y15, Y35, Y28, Y38, YR15, YR07, YR23, E15, E18, BG10, BG13, BG23, RV13, Y02. Instead of coloring the flower completely on the umbrella I used an embellishment from my stash. I added yellow Stickles for the center of it. I used an enamel dot on top of the umbrella and tiny gems on the umbrella itself and on the tiny flags in the top right corner. I added some white peel-offs edged with gold along where the 2 papers meet and on the edges of the little flags with little gems on them as well. I cut my sentiment which was from the Easter Greetings set and cut the words apart. I used foam tape to adhered them. I backed this main panel onto pink card stock, then blue card stock and adhered all to a card base. And that finished my card! Til next time... Betsy
Jenny - Today I am creating with this cute little chick to send you sunny wishes. Polkadoodles has some stencils you can make with your cutting machine so I choose to use the Raindrops background and some Distress Ink (shaded lilac, spun sugar, and scattered straw) to make it look like it is raining colorful raindrops. The pretty spring paper, the cute chick with umbrella image and the sentiment came from the Polkadoodles Springtime Smiles collection. I also used the outdoor garden border to have the chick be walking through a patch of grass.
To color the image I used Copic markers R11, YR04, V12, Y08, T2, and Y11.
Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is use one of Polkadoodles background scene or make a background from printed papers. I used the Spring into Easter Big Kahuna digital package to create this Easter card.
Martine - Well hello, ...as the team had to use a background digi....I'd never used one before! But hey...that is fun to use! I used Garden Fence and Birdhouse and put Bunny Rabbit with Roses Flowers in front of the card...so it looks like he/she is just walking out of that scenery. And i told you guys that there are such cute und funny sentiments on 1 paper , i used them again this time.... Rebel with attitude easy snips . I Colored as usual with my distress inks and added some drops. And added some roll-up flowers in the same color as the flowers in that digi. O!...i forgot those background paper.... here it is : Noodle Paper set 3 .
Jane – I love these CUTE CHICKS from the SPRINGTIME SMILES COLLECTION and I drew round them with egg shaped dies to colour them with Copics using the ‘spotlight’ technique. The background is one of the fabulous SCENES that Nikky has in the shop and this one is called PARK.
Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!
