Moody for reading

Hello and happy Monday!

I would like to show you a card I made for this week's challenge at Digi Makeover:

 Our challenge this week is EMBOSSING. You only have to follow the theme and use a digistamp and join us this week!!!

The image is called Moody for Reading and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut the mat with a scalloped oval die cut (Nestabilities). I think is very appropiated for the teens that are starting school this days...  or for a teacher...  and is purple!!!!!!!

It's a small world

Hello! Happy Sunday!
I feel a little bit tired today, after the wedding I went yesterday and we went to bed quite late... Anyways, I would like to show you a card I made for this forthnight at Gingerloft and our challenge is: It's a small world, basically represent where you are from. 

As I am from Argentina and at this moment I live in Kazakhstan I chose a horse to represent where I am from (horses everywhere in both coutries). The image is called Wild Fire and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a double circle mat white and black. I used foam tape for it.

The base cardstock is a beige Folia one and I used 4 petals flower Sizzix embossing folder. I used some foam tape to glue it to the card base.

The ribbon is a tipical Argentinean one, it's a folk ribbon called "guardapampa" and comes in different colors.

As this card will be for a man, I kept it simple and masculine. I didn't know if to put the sentiment or not... finally decided that only I write inside :)

Hola!!!
Feliz Sábado!... Espero que tengas un buen fin de semana. Hoy nosotros tenemos una boda y esperamos pasarla bien esta noche!!!
Quiero mostrarles una tarjeta que hice para Sushi Dolls.

For the post in English, click HERE.

La imagen es Betty la coloreé con lápices acuarelables Koh-i-noor. Usé cartulina roja para su base.

Para el fondo usé un papel de Chisty Tomlinson y el otro papel no sé la marca pues lo he ganado en un candy y más cartulina roja. Quise hacer una tarjeta roja porque es para una persona que le encanta el rojo y quería enviarle una tarjeta roja para el cumple :) (Es para mi tía que cumple 81!!!!!)

 Lo único que usé de embelishments son tres gemas rojas. (lo tengo que enviar por correo, asi que no podía agregarle mucho mas, jajaja...)

He usado el sketch de Crafting Musketeers: sketch #4
Los otros retos puedes verlos en el post en Inglés....

At the Park

Hello and happy Friday!
Woohoo... today is Friday and I love Fridays! Although today it will be very busy for me, but still I am happy with the idea of finishing the working days.
Today I want to show you a card I made for our weekly challenge at QKR Stampede, a favorite of everyone: ANYTHING GOES!!!!!!

I used the image At the Park (#11905) and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a green cardstock mat.

I used Chisty Tomlinson dp and Folia, and more green cardstock to mat everything. I wanted to have bright colors, so I choose them and made a kind of quilted card :)

I made a butterfly with a Sizzix die cut and added a little punched butterfly and a red rhinestone as embellishment.

Wedding card

Hello!
I hope you are having a nice day... Mine was good and did have time to craft!!!
I would like to show you a card I made for a friend who is getting married this coming Saturday:

The image is by From the Heart stamps, it was a freebie last weekend and I was so happy to have it to make this card for my friend. I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and cut with a Sizzix circle die cut and the same with the mat. I used some glitter on the bride and I love it!

I only used white cardstock and three different embossing folders.

I used white lace, ribbon and some ivory paper roses. I thought to use white ones, but I know the bride will be dressed on ivory and I want to have a little bit of it on my card too.

It's very difficult to me to take good pictures when the card is prominent white, so please, forgive me for the grey shadows on the pics... I don´t know how to fix this problem, I use day light and flash, and whatever read around to make them look better, but it doesn't matter, my "white" pictures are not as good as the rest.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
I {heart} sketches: #31

Crafty ribbons: anything goes with ribbon
Paper crafting journey: anything goes
Creative Belli: glitter
Little red wagon: layers
