So let's get to today's team challenge...Spring is just around the corner and they were all asked to create something using the lovely flowery Darling Buds range of digi stamps...
Natalia - Hello everyone! I hope most of us miss the spring and summertime. I miss it so much, for the beautiful sunny days. So, for my next inspiration, I have prepared an art journal page from the digital stamp Hyacinth - The Darling Buds colored with alcohol markers and placed on the first plan. Thanks to this stamp I created the rest of my vision of work. I love warm colours around me when the Spring comes. I've played a bit with watercolor paints to create my background and various, awesome flowers and mushrooms polymer stamps that can find on Polkadoodles' website. It's time to bloom :) ... what more can be said?? That's my work this time, very warm, very mixed media...
Merja - On my card I used an adorable Hyacinth image, coloured her with alcohol markers and then fussy cut her. The background I made with multiple stencils and medias. Firstly I used Heavenly Circles stencil with yellow and orange sprays, then I added some purple Distress Ink and yellow paste with Creepy Foliage stencil. The text is from Let's Hang Out Sentiments set and I taped it and the image with foam tape on the background.
Nunzia: I made this postcard-style card by watercoloring Stick with me Honey Pie digi. I therefore chose to exalt the spring greeting with a sentiment of the same size as the stamp. I pulled out it from Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments. To add more interest to the white background I finally fussy cut flowers and leaves from Spring Surprise 6 x 6 paper pack and glued here and there.
Pam: For our Polkadoodles Design Team Challenge this week we are thinking of spring and bringing you the Darling Buds Collection with their beautiful array of flowers. For my card I've selected Primrose and colored her with Copic markers in shades of dusty rose to light pink. I placed her on a coordinating green small leaf print which matched the green leaves on her gown and added the small plaid scalloped edge border on the left with additional silk flowers. The tiny pearls really set off the flowers and went perfectly in the flower on her forehead.
Nelly: For this project i coloured up dahlia-the-darling-buds-digital-craft-digi-stamp-download/ using alcohol markers. I stencilled the background using distressed-trellis-craft-stencil/ the card is an oval easel card shape.
Lynnette - For the spring is coming challenge I used The Darling Buds Daffodil digi stamp coloured with alcohol markers and die-cut using circle layering dies. I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4 bundle, layered up using a bright yellow card from my stash. Then I used a border die and simple flower dies to finish.
Eivor - I used the beautiful stamp Tulip, The Darling Buds. I like her so much and I colored her with copics. We were also to use flowers on our projects, so I went crazy and added a lot of them as you can see. For my background I used the Creepy Foliage halloween stencil. Though it is a "Halloween stencil" I think it is perfect for this background, that is the good thing with all products, use them as you want to do. The sentiment is so lovely and it is from Lets Hang Out - 37 Sentiments Bundle - Winnie.
Caroline - I wanted to create a mixed media feel to this Hyacinth stamp so I made a tag with lots of texture and layered up different bits of stash from my desk. I loved how this die cut mirrors the image with all the circles and just added some paper dots for extra dimension. 
Kim Simpson - This week, the challenge for the DT was to create a card using The Darling Buds collection that says “Spring is Coming!” Where I live, in late winter, I watch for the first signs that the crocus is poking it’s head up out of the ground, as that is my indication that spring is just around the corner, so it made perfect sense to me to use this gorgeous Crocus image from the Darling Buds collection! So far, we have had a pretty rough winter (weather-wise), so I was happy to create a bright, cheerful card that will serve as a reminder that spring is on the way.
Beautiful projects this week, ladies, thankyou so much for your inspiration!
