First time ATCs

When I was at Feline Playful looking for this week's challenges, I found one I have never played before: ATC challenges... and it was the theme what capture my atention: OWLS or anything goes...

I had this owls for long time printed and never did anything but I think they are awesome. It was a freebie long time ago at Dustin Pike's blog.... and I think they are very cute!!!

So I was reading all the rules there because I was afraid to make a mistake, I messured my cards (2,5x3,5) and did my little cards...

as the space is to little I didn´t know very well how to embellish them, I used ribbon, natural twine and nothing (!), and I like how they look... I need to learn about this a little bit more, how to embellish ATCs is my next thing to learn, hahaha

The papers are from Printer Soyuz. .......Also I don´t know if this entry counts as one or three :)

Challenges:
ATC Challenges: Owls or anything goes...
Party Time Tuesday: #31 anything goes

Cards for men: G is for... green (Green card - owl on bed)

A thank you card

I made this card for the last challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio... I'm so sad that this is the last one :(
I discovered this challenge just only two months ago and I love  it, because the themes were very easy to follow and the result it was a wonderful card with a Michelle's image :) This week's challenge is Thank You... but I tell you thank you, Michelle (and DT ladies) for the fun at the challenges, for your generosity and the freebies you gave us and all the cards I made playing with you... I hope you come back with the challenges soon...

I made this card using Rose, a freebie I've got at the PCP group (also closing soon) and colored it with acuarelable pencils. I made a tag with the "thank you" freebie provided this week.

I used some scrap papers all in different pink tones. I used ribbon for the tag and some bling.

A red Birthday card and a sentiment in Spanish

I made this card for my aunt, she likes red and today is her birthday :) I am playing with it at Wacky Wednesday challenges at PCP and CDAC.

I am trying different folds, and I think this is a fun card... (I learned about this one at Scor Pal blog)

I used a Bugaboo Stamp image and colored it with acuarelable pencils. I used a red cardstock as mat.

I used a Folia dp and red cardstock. I also made a flower with red paper a scalloped punch and a red blinged (?) button. I used red bling to embellish it. And also made a band to close the card. The sentiment is an Ardilla's one, it says Happy Birthday in Spanish :) .... talking seriously, I can´t find many sentiments in Spanish and I don´t have a stamp to ink with this kind of sentiment, only English!

Inside the card I wrote a verse from the Bible (Psalm 23: 1,2)

If you need the sentiment, just click and then right click and save as...  :)

Blast from the past

I made this card in March 2010... I can see now how I have learn a lot of things, to color, to use sketches, embellishments, and many other things.... You can see the original post HERE.

I'm posting this card because the challenge at Meljen´s this week is to show the first card using a Meljen´s image, so this is mine :)

Every flower is to bloom...

... that's the sentiment of this card that I made for this week's challenge at Designed to Delight - Progresive Freebie Challenge.

I think I printed the image toooooo big... normally I made them very small and this time I wanted it a little bigger, but maybe not to much, anyways... I colored it with normal and plain school markers and I love the result, as the colors are bright for this wonderfull summer flowers image.

I used two different dp from Printer Soyuz, one as background and the second one as frame of the image and I  like the mix and match this time :) I also used a green olive ribbon and three buttons (green, pumpkin and curry)....

A purple card for my niece

I just realized my niece's birthday is just around the corner!!! She will be 16 next Sunday and I didn´t send any thing yet :(

I already had printed and colored this digi from Tickled Pink Stamps, Lil' Birthday Kellita, when I saw this image I only thought of Paula, as she is tall, thin and with big green eyes.... I colored it with acuarelable pencils. And all this purple is because it´s her favorite color!!!

I used some DCWV dp, another purple dp with silver swirls and purple cardstock.

As embellishments I used a white lace, three paper flowers and purple bling.

Vintage dress

Vintage is not my style and it´s really hard for me, so this is a real challenge... the one at Michelle Perkett Studio this week is to do a vintage project.

I used the freebie offered at her site and colored it with acuarelable pencils. I distressed the borders with a brown ink pad to get that vintage flavour :)

I used dp from Muresco in red, one is dotted and the second one is a plaid one. I also used red and black cardstock.

I used a sentiment from Create with TLC and made a small tag attached with a red bow.

I also used scalloped punch and a daisy punch to make the flowers and used white bling for the center of each flower. I also sponged the dotted paper with the same brown ink pad.
