Fun in the snow

Hello and happy Friday!
Today we have a new challenge at QKR Stampede: FUN IN THE SNOW, and this is the card I made:

The image is Sledding (digi 8707) and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and placed it on a turquoise cardstock mat. I also glittered the "snow" and the fur in the hats.

For the background I used a skyblue cardstock and a Snowflakes embossing/stencil folder (Spillbinders) and a turquoise ink pad, I think it looks good!

As embellishments I used turquoise twine (Doodlebug twine) and made a bow and punched out three snowflakes and glued them with foam tape.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Creatalicious: turquoise winter
Emergency crafters: blue/snowflakes

A cup to warm you up

Hello and happy Sunday!
I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed weekend. Here the weather is awesomely warm, it´s the first winter that we have above 0°C temperatures, the snow is melting and it looks like the winter is finishing, but we know that it's not like it!
So today, to warm up a little bit more, I have a cup card:

The image is the freebie at Samistamps for January. I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and cut it out.

I used craft paper and some snowflake dp scraps (Oriental Trading) for the background.

To embellish it I made a circle of skyblue rhinestones. I also made some faux stitches with a blue glitter pen on the edge of the craft paper.

I would like to enter thsi card into the following challenges:

Better with Friends

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Today I want to show you a card I made for the freebie challenge at Imagine That!

The image is Jenn 'n Friends and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I used glitter for the snow and the fur. I placed the image on a purple cardstock mat.

I used one of the sentiments that comes in the set, I think this is a good way to say thanks to a special friend (preparing for Valentines). The dp in the background is Sarabooks Amethyst.

To embellish it I used a couple of swirls (Sizzix die cut) in purple and white and some purple rhinestones. Some metallic snowflakes with more rhinestones and a purple ribbon and made a bow. (Yes, the ribbon is purple, but I don´t know why, in the picture looks blue...!)

Hello and happy Friday!!!
After a long break, I am showing you today my first card of 2014.
Today we start again with our challenges at QKR Stampede and this week, the challenge is SNOWFLAKES AND SPARKLE.

I used the image Ice Skating (7902 Ice Skating ), doesn't this penguin look fun?, and colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I used glitter for the snow and the hat. I used a blue glitter pen to make some doodles around the image. The mat is blue cardstock. 

I used yellowish/orangish and blue cardstock and Cuttlebug embossing folder (Snowflakes). I made some faux stitches all around the card with an orange glitter pen.

To embellish it I used a blue ribbon and I punched out a snowflake and glued it with foam tape and finish it with a yellow/orange rhinestone.

Penguin in blue

Hello and happy Saturday!!! It's me again...
When I thought I finished with Christmas cards, one friend of mine asked me to do for her a few more Christmas cards.
The thing is, here where I live, just few people celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, but New Year is a big celebration and they use the same symbols that we use for Christmas. And for some, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. In the next days I 'll make some cards and show you... they will be simple and not to fancy as I have to rush (LOL).
This is the second one (you can see the first one here):

The image is SKdigis Penguin (freebie for November) and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a red mat. I used glitter for the top of the hat and the snow.

 I used light blue cardstock and Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I cut the corners with a round punch.

I used blue and red Christmas bakers twine (Doodlebug) to embellish it and also I punched a snowflake, a daisy (yes, it´s a flower) and a red rhinestone and built it with foam tape to give dimension to the snowlfake in the corner of the image.

I would like to enter this into the challenges:

A penguin card

Hello!
I am back after a few days of absence... I wasn't inspired and didn´t want to craft, don´t know why, but today I have something to show you:

The cute image is by SKdigis, Chilly the penguin,  and it was a freebie last month for the ones that linked cards on the FANtastic linking party, hopefuly next year will be back :) I colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a green cardstock mat and glittered the snow and the top of the hat.

I didn´t use dp, only white cardstock and Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. A little bit more of green cardstock for the mats.

The only embellishment is a pewter snowflake brad on a green penant. Hope you like it!

I can tell you this card fits with the weather we are having here, since this morning we are having snow and the T° dropped dramatically... this little fellow would be very happy around :)

I used white cardstock for the background and used Dots embossing folder (Sizzix). I matted it with blue-turquoise cardstock and made the same with the sentiment and added mor rhinestones.

I used Penguin Cocoa and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a double oval mat (white/red). The sentiment is part of the set, and I cut it also with an oval die cut (Sizzix).

Winter Wonderland

Hello, and Happy Monday!
We had a very snowy weekend here and the temperature dropped again, we have a lot of snow to play and build snowmen outside.... so we are very inspired for these winter cards :)

Today I come back with a new challenge at Digi Makeover: WINTER WONDERLAND. Remember, you need to use a digi and follow the theme and you can win wonderful stamps as prize.

For this card I used Moody for Snow... (I love these Moody girls!) I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and used some glitter for the falling snow and distressed the edge with a blue ink pad. I placed it on a skyblue cardstock mat.

I used some blue plaid dp and white cardstock and an embossing folder and skyblue cardstock to frame it.

I used a new skyblue ribbon and some blue rhinestones as embellishments.

I made a simple card today, but I like how it looks, could be for next Christmas or a winter birthday, still didn´t think about the sentiment for this card but I will find a purpose soon :)
Hope to inspire you today and I would like to see you this week playing with us in our challenge.

Snow days are fun

Hello!
Yesterday I was so tired I went to sleep and couldn't post this card.

With this card I am participating at Robin's Fetiche group at the Crafter's café. You can sign up until the 15th and then you have time to make your creation until the 31st. It´s a recipe challenge: Snowman/woman by Robin's Fetiche, snowflakes, color blue, use twine and snow in some way.

The image is Snow days are fun. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils using blues and peaches/oranges. Then I added some glitter for the snow. I placed it on a peach cardstock mat.

I used dp from my stash, both of them with snowflakes, and more peach cardstock to frame it.

I used white ribbon, peach twine and three blue metallic snowflakes (they are blue...).
The sketch is inspired in Little Claire's, but I didn´t make the complete sketch (some parts are missing) and the challenge was to use flowers/spring, so I am not participating in this challenge... hehehe... to much snow!
