Some spring daisies

Hello and happy Tuesday!
Today was a warmer day here and snow is melting quickly, they are announcing that tomorrow we'll have some more snow again :)
As you may already noticed, I am so ready for spring!!!!!! This is a new CAS card I made, I CASEd this from a card I saw at Pinterest, but I made my own interpretation:

I used a die cut Layered flowers (Sizzix) and some swirls and folliage in green to make this card. The background is a turquoise cardstock and Swirls embossing folder.

Beautiful dog

Hello and happy Tuesday!
Dogs are my fav animals, actually we have a Cocker Spaniel called Chicky as a member of our family. Today, I would like to show you a card I made using a dog image as main focus:

The image is Alsatian by Fitztown. This is a freebie I won a few weeks ago and thought it would be great to make a masculine card. I colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils and cut it out. Then, I used a double oval mat (white/black) to mat the image both cut with Oval die cut (Sizzix).

I used a stamped micro-corrugated cardstock (Alt) and some more cardstock. I used a balck ribbon (Crafty Ribbons) and made a knot too.

Christmas in February

Hello and happy beggining of the week!!!
As I commented last month I am doing the progressive challenge at Digistamp 4 Joy with Christmas images. This is the card I made with this month image:

I colored this Christmas dino with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I distressed the edges with a green ink pad. I also put some glitter on the hat and the bubble.

For the background I used a green cardstock and Star embossing folder (Sizzix), I glued glitter on the star. Then I added some darker green ribbon. I hope you like it!

Some spring thoughts

Hello and happy Sunday!
I like snow and the white landscape, but I am ready for spring. If you take a look of my last cards you will see that flowers and bright colors are driving me these last days... This is another spring inspired card I made:

The cute watering can is by The Stamping Boutique and I colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it with scalloped square die cut and use the same for the purple mat.

I used Pinguino dp (purple dots) and white cardstock and Flowers embossing folder (Sizzix). For embellishment I used a gingham lilac ribbon and made a bow and on that I glued a paper daisy flower.

A lighthouse in the beach

Hello and happy Saturday!
Today I want to show you another card I made:

The image is by From the Heart Stamps and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a white cardstock mat.

For the background I didn´t use dp, I used three different colors of cardstock, in maritime combo, and I used Swirls embossing folder to give the idea of sea waves. I used a white ric-rac too. I hope you like my CAS card!!!

I would like to show you a new card:

The image was a freebie I've got at Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet. I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it with an oval die cut and made the same for the skyblue cardstock mat. I added some pearls for the centers of the flowers.

I used some Alt dp and skyblue cardstock. I also used Dots embossing folder for the mat, but I don´t know if it's visible... I added more pearls for some corners and a ribbon in blue with some flowers printed on it.
