Add color every day

This will be the last entry post today... after this one, I am heading to the bed :)

I made this card for the challenge at The Alley Way. I really liked the pic when I saw it, so I wanted to participate this week... I am not too happy with the result, but neither unhappy...

I used this month's freebie and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I distressed the borders with a red ink pad and mounted it on a double mat (beige and red).

As the photo has a lot of white space I wanted to do the same in my card, so I didn´t use any dp or any other stuff. I only added some doodles in the edge that I learned from Beccy's blog (if you didn´t see it yet, Beccy has a fab tutorial for doodling)

Red, white and black - Digi Makeover # 74

Hello!
Happy Monday!!!
Today I want to show this card I made for this week's challenge at Digi Makeover: Red, White and Black.

I used one of the images from the set Retail Therapy and one of the sentiments, I think it´s very fun and very encouraging to receive this kind of sentiments :) I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and I used Sizzix circle die cuts for the image and the mat.

I used white/black dps (DCWV) and dotted red dp (Oriental Trading). I also used red cardstock.
I made a flower with a scalloped punch that has a white pearl in the middle (I feel it looks nice!) and three red rhinestones.
Hope that you like the color combo and would like to play with us in our challenge :)

Digi Makeover Challenge #55 - Anything goes

Hello!!!
Today, we have a new challenge at Digi Makeover, and this is a favorite one: ANYTHING GOES!!!!!!! The only thing we would like you to do is to use a digi stamp, that easy!
Today we have a guest designer, please, visit Donna here.

This is the card I made for this week's challenge:

I used "Moody for rock" and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. And the sentiment is from Create with TLC, I think is very appropriate for my friend, who is awesome :).

I used dp The garden - Rosie's Studio, I also used some blue (or turquoise) cardstock and used Floral Fantasy folder for embossing and cut it with my sizzix and an oval sizzix die cut. Maybe it´s a little different than most of the cards around, as most challenges are auttumn and fall, but I come from Argentina where spring is just starting and as I told you few days ago, I am not ready for cold weather, hahaha.... I love spring weather!!! As embellishments I used some sparkling blings in blue (or turquoise) and a bigger orange one, I used yellow, orange and turquoise ribbon.

Hope you like my card and hope you join us this week in our challenge here.

You are amazing...

I made another card for a friend... I told you, I am inspired, hahaha...

This time, I used a rubber stamp, a Mo Manning one "BFF", this two girls friends forever, I used Memento tuxedo black ink... I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils, I cut it with a circle die and placed it on a blue flower mat.

I used a peach cardstock as background and distressed the borders with an orange ink pad, also I used an orange with circles in different colors dp. I tried to go with the orange(peach)-blue color combo.

I also used a blue polka dot ribbon and a lace. I placed the sentiment  on a peach label, also borders are distressed with the same orange ink pad. Then I added some blue bling in one corner.

Hope you like my card!

Thinking of you...

Another friendship card... For us, in Argentina, July is friends months, as we celebrate "Friends day" (Dia del amigo) on the 20th. Maybe that is the reason why I am doing friendship cards, (I know, a little bit later, hahaha...)

For this card, I used "Gab in the groove" (Just Some Lines). I won this image in a challenge last year, but didn´t use it so far. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and cut out the image, then using foami tape, I placed it on an orange elipse mat. I like to give dimension to the images sometimes :)

I used two different dp, but both of them with butterflies. One is apple green color and the second is dark blue, as Gab's clothes.

Then I added a couple of yellow ribbons, one is stamped and wide and the second is thin and plain. I made a bow, added a green button. Then the sentiment is a TLC one and I placed it on the up corner to balance the card and because of the background is better there that in where for the sketch it is suposed to be (oops!).

I do like how it looks, do you?

Sending you a smile

I was playing some the last two days and made a couple of cards. This is one, no special ocasion, just pure friendship and encouraging.

The image is a Pink Gem stamp, Ginny with flowers,  I've got last year as a freebie. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a green mat, then I draw some faux stitches with a fine green marker. And made the same for the TLC sentiment.

I used a striped green-yellow paper as a background, then I used a yellow-green ribbon.

The only embellishment I used is a big flower (Prima) with the same color of the flowers in the image.

I hope you like my card :)

Best friends

Well... I had time during the weekend to color a few images and today I made two cards!!!!!!
The first one is a friendship card, with this free image that I've got as freebie a while ago and I really liked it, I printed long ago too and finally today I made something with it :)

The image is a DigiStamp4Joy freebie, I don´t remember when or where I've got it... I colored it with acuarelable pencils and used a red mat. I used my sizzix oval dies to cut the image and the mat. (I think I've should distress the border now that I look the card finished, never mind!) The sentiment is a Create with TLC freebie from long time ago too.

I used two different plaid dp from Printer Soyuz  and a red cardstock as mat for the red pieces of paper and the sentiment. I used small red, white and blue flowers and made two groups of them. I twisted a little bit the sketch as the sentiment was to big to fit where it was supose to fit in... 

Hope you like it!
