Red, White and Blue at Gingerloft

Hello! Happy Sunday!!!
I hope you are doing good. Here we are having beautiful days of summer and we are getting lazy (just a little bit) and enjoying the warm weather.
This forthnight at Gingerloft the challenge is a color one: RED, BLUE AND WHITE. This is the card I made:

I used part of the set Hot Air Balloon and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils.

I cut it out and placed it with foamy tape on a double circle mat (white/blue) cut with Sizzix circle die cut. Can you see the shadow?

I used Folia (blue gingham)  and Oriental Trading (dottie red) dp and blue cardstock as mats. I wanted to keep it simple...

The embellishments are a couple of buttons, a red one and a blue one, both of them tied up with white embroidery thread.

Lily's flowers

Hello!
We are having beautiful summer days this week, it's warm and sunny and it's better to be out than inside the house :)
Anyway, I made a new card that I want to show you...

The image is by Kris - Imagine that and is called Lily's flowers. It's the freebie for the challenge at Imagine that. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with Labels1 Spellbinders and placed it on a blue mat cut with the same shape.

I used 2 different Folia dp and blue cardstock.

As embellishments I used some pink baker's twine and some pink rhinestones.

I just realized I didn´t use the sentiments that come with the image, I printed them out but forgot about them!

Dirt Bike Mike

Hello! Happy Sunday!!!
I was working today a little bit here, doing some cards with some monthly freebies offered around for many great artists... this is the first one:

The image is by Kenny K and it´s called Dirt Bike Mike, I wasn't on time for the challenge at FB, but I thought I can still do a card with it... I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and cut with a circle die (Sizzix).

I made a folded card, (don´t know the name for this fold) and I think it was perfect for this image.

I used black and red cardstock. For the black part I used Burlap embossing folder (Tim Holtz- Sizzix).

The only embellishment are red and yellow ribbons tied in a knot. As I didn´t know yet how to use it, I didn´t put a sentiment, most probably would be a birthday one... we'll see!
