Sugar and love

OK, this is another card I made with a "The Pixie Cottage" new stamp... I like the sentiments that come with the image in this set, I chose one of them and I do like how it looks on the card.

I colored the image with acuarelable pencils, cut with a Sizzix oval die, distressed the edges with a dark pink ink pad and with a bigger die I cut the pink mat for it.

I used a yellow natural paper (it looks darker in the picture, don´t know why) and some scraps from a DCWV dp and with pink cardstock I made the mat for all the pieces.

For the sentiment I made a bow with a pink hearted ribbon and with a heart button and a pink embroidery thread I attached the sentiment to the bow and think it looks pretty cute...

When I saw the sketch challenge I thought I would make a great card, but don´t know why I don´t like how it turned out... I think I need to add something like bling or flowers... For now, this is my card, but maybe later it will change a little bit :)

Purple bear hug

Today is my last day of vacations..... :( Tomorrow I start to work again for the second semester and to tell you the truth I would like the vacations would last one more week... It's so cold outside, I don´t want to go anywhere!!! Meanwhile, I keep inking my new stamps :)

This is a very CAS card I made using bear hug from The Pixie Cottage (this is another stamp I won in a candy... psss...... there is a new candy going on, look for it on my sidebar - more stamps!!!) I colored it with acuarelable pencils. I distressed the edges with a purple ink pad.

I used a cuttlebug folder to make the background on a purple cardstock. As embellishments, I used a white ribbon with lilac dots and three purple buttons with a embroidery thread to make a knot on each of them... simple, isn't it?

Challenges:
The Pixie cottage: monochromatic
Less is more: predominantly purple
The cattered crop: buttons
Simon says: new something (cuttlebug folder optional)

New Baby

My second card for 2012... Although I didn´t make any crafty resolution, I'm happy to use my stash that I wasn't using until the begining of this year... Last Sunday I brought out of the boxes some new stamps that I have never inked up and later I colored. So this is my card for today.

I used a new stamp (I luv my blankie) I've got as a candy at The Pixie Cottage (with two more...) and think this is a sweet bear for a new born. I colored it with acurelable pencils and cut it out, place it on the circle heart-ed mat.

I used yellow-orangish dp, a striped one and a heart-ed one plus yellow cardstock. I also used yellow ribbon and a yellow heart button.
