WOOHOO!!!!! My daughter won a contest :)

This is the card my daughter Vicky made for the kids contest at Create with TLC.  It was two different categories 0-5 and 6-10 years old. 

Vicky won the contest in her category and I feel really proud of her job :)

You can do it!

This is a card I made with a Tiffany Doodles image (freebie) and the sentiment is from Create with TLC. 

I colored the image with acuarelable pencils trying to make it very "summery" and using the rainbow palette; and used a red cardstock as mat.

The background paper is from Folia, its a degradée from purple to green and I thought it was perfect for sky and sea as the image is a maritim one. Then I just added two ribbons and made knots with them (one in red, the second in purple)

Then, I used Pingüino and Printer Soyuz dp with dots, stripes and flowers in green and orange combo. I also used a green-orange ribbon and made a bow.

I'm back with two cards

I'm home again and after a few days here today I sat down and colored this beautiful image by Mo Manning, "Trudy's party dress". I've got it as freebie in Facebook during the week end and I think Trudy is beautiful!!! And I was playing as a child, because it is a paper doll with dress :)

I didn´t know very well which color to chose, so I colored one in red and another one in sky blue, and as I couldn´t decide for any of them I made two cards, basicaly the same as I used the same sketch and the same image, just only different colors in the dp and the acuarelable pencils.

I used different ribbons and flowers as embellishments, also bling and glitter glue to make some small details in the dress and hair bows. I also used foami tape for the dress but, I don´t know why, it´s not noticiable in the pics... but it is in reality :)
