D2D progresive challenge is back!

Hello!
I am very happy, as this morning when I checked here, I realized I passed the 50,000 visitors (+ 58 to be exact...). Thank you so much to come and visit me, thanks to those who leave comments and thanks to the special friends I met during this time in bloggers. I love to visit you too...

OK, I made this card for the D2D progresive challenge that is back alive again!!! Thanks, Faith!!! I love to color Designed to Delight images...

The image is "Owl and pumpkins" (first freebie for the challenge) and I colored it with acuarelable pencils, I cut it with a nestabilities "Labels Two" die and placed on an orange mat cut with a little bigger one of the same set.

I used a blue with stars Soyuz Printer dp that I have for ages now (LOL), orange cardstock and blue vellum. I cut the leaves in the vellum with a punch (... so difficult to see where to punch out!)

The only embellishment is a blue ribbon from my stash, I don´t use very often (don´t know why... I love blue!) and made two knots to complete the sketch.

I hope you like my card...

Thanksgiving 4

Ok, here we go with the last card for today... this is the fourth CAS card I made for a friend who asked me to make some cards for Thanksgiving. (Scroll down to see the other three cards)

I used the freebie for this week from Bugaboo: Turkey with pumpkin. Isn´t he lovely hilarious???

I just loved this image when I saw it and thought to make a cute card with it. I colored it with acuarelable pencils and placed it on an orange mat.

I used some cream cardstock and used an embossing folder, I also used some Printer Soyuz dp and more orange cardstock and I used a fiskar scallop scissor to make one of the edges.

My friend loved this card and told me it was very cute, so I feel happy she liked it! Hope you like it too :)

Digi Makeover challenge #54 - Welcome Auttumn

Hello to everybody! And welcome Auttumn!!!

I want to show you this card (with tag inside) I made for this week's challenge at Digi Makeover blog "Welcome Auttumn"... and today we have a guest designer: Tina Keller

I really don´t know if I am ready for Auttumn yet, although the trees and the streets here are already dressed in yellows, browns, reds and little bits of green, the temperature dropped more than 15 degrees during the last two weeks and this morning we woke up with only 8°C... definitively, auttumn is here!!!!!!!!

For my card I used Twisty tree and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils.

And for the tag I used the definition of Auttumn from Albert Camus.

I used brown cardstock and dp from Folia called Herbst 04.

I also used cream color ribbon and made a bow and I used some ceramic leaves charms as embellishments.

Now is your turn to welcome the new season and play with us at Digi Makeover challenge.

Pumpkins and tags

This is my card and tag for this week's progressive challenge at Designed 2 Delight. Every month, on the first Friday, Faith gives you an image and if you make a project and link it to her blog, next Friday you get a new image to play...

This week's set is called "Pumpkins and tags", and as I said is a SET!!! I used all the elements. First I colored everything with my Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. The sentiments are from another D2D set called "Auttumn mums".

Then I made a card, I used the big image for the front and the pumpkins for the inside. I used  dp from Printer Soyuz and orange and brown cardstock.

As embellishments I used a auttumn ribbon and three buttons in brown, orange and green and made a bow to each button with embroidery thread in the same color of each button.

For the tag, I only used orange cardstock and the same ribbon plus light orange and dark green ribbon.

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.

Auttumn kitty

Another very simple card today... I love simple things!

This cute image is from Mo Manning, I've got it as freebie last year's fall, I printed, colored it but didn´t use it (I have a lot of images already colored... I love to color but don´t have the time to make cards with them)... anyways, finally I made it!

I colored it with acuarelable pencils.

The dp is from Folia ("Herbst 4"), I also used a brown cardstock as mat. No embellishments, no sentiment, more simple... imposible!

Challenges:
Less is more: anything goes
Our daily bread: fall colors or theme
Always something creative: auttumn
Raise the bar: "leave" summer
Pile it on: fall colours

Auttumn pumpkins

I think pumpkins are the symbol of auttumn and thanks giving season... yes, also turkeys and apples :)

I made an easel card using auttumn colors and an image that was a freebie at Stamp Fairy a few weeks ago.

I colored it with acuarelable pencils.

I used different dps and embossed paper and cardstock. The sentiment is one from last year auttomn collection at Designed to Delight.

I also used buttons, threads and a couple of cold porcelaine leaves.
