Anya's Wedding

Hello and happy Thursday!
Today is my blogaversary, I started this blog 4 years ago. It was a time when I couldn't use it because of my location in the world, but today, 4 years later I have 230 followers, more than 600 posts and I have learned lots with all the crafty people I met at blogland!!!! Thanks for your support and virtual friendship!!!!!!!
One of my friends requested me to make some wedding cards for her, so this one is the first one:

The pictures are really bad as it's already dark and I have to take them with a lamp at the side, I hope I can make better pics ;) EDITED: I took new pictures and replace the bad ones.

The image is by The Greeting Farm and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a white circle and this one on a scalloped pink circle cardstock mat.

I made a card that opens in the middle and uses a ribbon to keep it closed. I used pink cardstock to mat the white panels, these ones were textured with 4Petals Flowers embossing folder (Sizzix).

To embellish it I used a white ribbon and made a bow, I also used paper roses in white and pink.

Challenges:
Anyone for Anya: odd card (it's rectangle but it has more than one fold... I hope it's ok for the challenge)

In love

Hello and happy Wednesday!
I made one more Valentines' day card that I would like to show you:

The image is by The Greeting Farm. I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils a while ago and cut it out. I placed it on a double cardstock mat (white/black) cut with a circle die (Sizzix).

For the background I used Folia dp and added two panels of corrugated cardstock in white and red. The only embellishment is a bow and a white heart button.

Christmas snow fight

Hello!
How are you doing? Here is freezing, I want the winter finished!!! It´s only one week since started snow and bellow cero temperatures, but I am already tired, so cold for me :) But, I feel inspired and I made this Christmas card with snow fight!!!

The image is The Greeting Farm Snowball Fight and I love it... I have this one almost for one year, I printed it and colored it long ago but never did anything with it, so today I made this card :) I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and used some extrafine glitter for the snow and the hat's fur.

I used plaid Muresco dps and gingham Folia dp. I was playing with the different colors of plaid dp and I like the combo... I also used some red cardstock.

As embellishment only used a Christmas ribbon with sonwflakes and made a bow. I wanted to look very Christmasy as I don´t know who will receive it yet, I didn´t put any sentiment (I don´t know yet if it will be for a Spanish/English/Kazakh/Russian speaker, and maybe at the last minut I don´t have the time to put a seniment in the right language!)

I like how it looks and finally I used my stamp. How do you like it? Please, leave a comment to know if you do.

A white wedding card

One of my youngest friends is getting married soon and I want to prepare her card with time (I don´t want to rush one day before the wedding... as usual, hehehe!). I want a white on white card (except the image)... And I need to apologize for the bad pictures, I made them in the evening when the sun alredy went to sleep and to make photos of white things without natural light is a nightmare... so, please, try to understand (also my hubby is not here today to help me with the camera, he is much more better than me for the pics :))

EDITED: I made new photos this morning, they look a little bit better that the ones from last night, I only leave the first one as that is the one I linked up in the challenges, but I will remove the dark ones :)

I chose this "The greeting farm" image that I had for almost 6 month now and never use it before... I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I don´t know why the cheeks look so red, they don´t look like that in reality... I used glitter on the bride's dress and think she looks gorgeous with it.

I dust it off my embossing plates (I don´t use them since last Christmas!) and use them on white cardstock to make the different layers of the sketch.

I want to do a very romantic card, so I used white lace and ribbon (I have this ribbon for two years now but this is the first time I opened and use it...).

And maybe you don´t believe this, but I don´t have any white flower (I have cream though) so, I used my daisy punch to make white daisies and embellished them with small white pearls (don´t they look nice?).

I really hope my friend and future husband will like this card :)... and you too!

One more ballerina... a pink one

If you follow my blog you know I like ballerinas... a lot! So when I won a candy for $10 at The Greeting Farm, the first thing I looked for it was ballerinas... and I found this cute Ballet Anya.

I colored the image with acuarelable pencils and glued it to a pink mat. I made some faux stitches around the image with a pink fine marker.

I used Pingüino dp with stripes, dots all in pink and white. I also used white cardstock to make the left down corner. I also used a pink ribbon and hand stitched to make the pleated effect. I also used pink gems as embellishments.
