Hope butterfly

This is my card for this week's challenge at D2D, Designed to Delight, free stamp of the month.
This is a progresive challenge, the first Friday of the month you get a free image at D2D blog and if you use it in a project you receive a new image to play with in you email inbox the next Friday. If you didn´t play last week and didn´t get the freebie, you can buy the image in the store and then, next week you get the new image :)

This week's image freebie is "Hope butterfly". I colored it with acuarelable pencils and mounted it in a pink cardstock. And I printed and colored two small ones and used them as embellishment.

I wanted to make a CAS card. I used pink cardstocks only. I used a lot of bling. Big ones on the top of the card and gems around the images.

Is it to much pink? Anyways... let's be conscious and explore ourselves, go to the doctor, make the mamograms once a year and give hope to the ones that are fighting against the breast cancer.

I feel terible as I can´t craft as I wish... I'm having very busy days lately and can´t make cards as I would like to do... If my weeks are just like the last two ones, I need to star with my Christmas card next week!!!

Thanks for reading until the end :)

Happiness bloom

I just realized the last two week's projects I'm using orange almost in every card, because of auttumn, but I think also because I like it :)

This is my card for this week's Free image progressive challenge at Designed 2 Delight. First Friday of the month, Faith offers a free image and if you use that in a project before next Friday you get a new free image in your mail. And if you didn´t play last week, you can alway catch up buying the image for this week.

When I started this card I though to do it for "less is more" 1000 challenge, but I start to see many other challenges and although it's a CAS card is playing in more than 5 challenges... Anyways, I colored the cute image "happiness bloom" with acuarelable pencils, distressed the border with an orange ink pad and mounted it in an orange cardstock.

I used a peach cardstock as background and distressed the border with an orange ink pad and a textile too.

I also used a light orange transparent button (Oriental Trading) and a light orange ribbon and made a bow.

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)....

I colored the image with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. Then I used some bling on the top of the girl mouse's cake.

I used Printer Soyuz dp and cardstock. The pic doesn´t show well the butterfly's backgroundcolor, it's purple and not blue as it looks in the picture. I also used a purple velvet paper in this one.
