Cute girl card

When I saw this digistamp from Pollycraft I printed out but didn´t use it until this week... and today I made a card.

I was imagining this cute girl with a baby yellow dress and some details in baby blue, and I colored it with acurelable pencils and I think I've got the colors I wanted to have on her.

I used three different DPs to make this card, all of them are from a Russian company (Print Soyuz). I also used two different ribbons, lace, one button and a flower with bling all combining baby yellow and baby blue.

I hope you like my card...

Happy Birthday card

Last night I couldn´t post this card, I don´t know what kind of problem with the router, internet, my computer... I have to wait until this morning for my DH to fix the problem... (he was already sleeping when I was trying to post) OK, this is my card.

I used a Mo Manning image (Digital Pencil) and colored it with acuarelable pencils. The sentiment came with the image and I colored it too.

I used a purple cardstock as mat to be able to make a kind of patchwork with different purple DPs. As embellishment I used some purple bling in the corners of the central image.

Flowers for a loved one

What a better way to say I love you than give flowers? I love watercan images and when they come with flowers, better!

I made this card using a Bugaboo Stamp, I colored with acuarelable pencils trying to use pastel colors and purple tones.

I used some dp in purple pastel color, pastel purple cardstock. I distressed the border of the image with some purple ink pad. I also used a lilac gross ribbon.

 

I made some flowers with a punch, mounted them with some foami tape and make the center of each flower with a purple bling.

Flutterby Fairy Card

After one week with no printer, last evening I've got my baby back home :) The printer is working well and I can print more digis to work with (I was using the ones I already have printed (I have tons printed out!). And this one is the first I printed out today!!!

I made this card for the challenge at Delightful Inspirations Month Challenge at Designed to Delight.

If you didn´t get the freebie you can buy it and play this week and then you receive the new freebie.

 

This week's image is "Flutterby Fairy", I colored it with acuarelable pencils and used  some glitter in the wings to sparkle it!

 

I am trying something new for me, no layers-no mats, so I printed the image on the card and did the same with the sentiment (Create with TLC). I made the flowers with a punch and some pastel pink and babyblue cardstock and used a pink stickle on each one. I also used a pink ribbon and a butterfly metallic embellishment.

A tag card with flowers

Tomorrow we need to give a couple of cards... to say thanks to some teachers at the ballet performance.

I made this card with an image from Beccy's place.

Don´t know the name of this flower in English, but my neighbourhood here is full of this beautiful lilac color flowers. I colored them with acuarelable pencils.

I made a tag with some purple cardstock. I used DPs from my stash and a couple of purple ribbons and made a bow for the bottom of the card and a knot to the tag.
