CAS card with flowers

Hello, dear friends!
I hope you had a good weekend. For me it was good and I hope to have a good week and hope to make more cards... This is a new CAS card I made playing with my dies, I have a few ideas that I will be sharing later....

I used a pastel green cardstock for the background and rounded the corners with a punch ad distressed the edges with a green ink pad. Then, with pastel yellow, pink and pastel purple I cut the flowers (It's a Sizzix die) and combine them to make three different flowers and distressed the edges with ink pads in coordinated colors. I used a Spellbinders die for the leaves, distressed the edges with green ink pad. The white flowers are made with a punch. for the center of the big flowers I used water drops and purple rhinestones for the white ones, also the white ones are glued with foamy tape.

Monochrome CAS card (2)

Hello!
Today I was playing with my watercolors and stamps and made this card:

I made the background with watercolors, all in different greens, I thought this is a wonderful color to match her leavy hair. The stamp is a Elaine Cox that I won at Sweet Pea Stamps many years ago and never use it before! I stamped this beauty with Memento tuxedo black ink pad. I used some black cardstock to mat the image and used a gree ribbon and made a knot to embellish it.
Hope you like it!

Monochrome CAS card (1)

Hello!
Today I was playing with my watercolors and stamps and made this card:

I made the background with watercolors, it is a pitty that the picture doesn't show well the colors, I used three different shades of brown and some metallic bronze and copper watercolors to splash some dots. The stamp is a Ching Chou Kuik that I won at Sweet Pea Stamps many years ago and almost didn't use it! I stamped this beauty with Memento tuxedo black ink pad. I used some brown cardstock to mat the image and used three rhinestones to embellish it.
Hope you like it!

Kraft Stars

Hello!
Today I would like to share with you a very simple card I made, I found some inspiration on Pinterest, I liked a few cards made with Kraft paper/cardstock on white background...  (if you click in the words Pinterest, kraft paper, cardstock on and white background, you'll see my inspiration. This is my take:

I love stars in Christmas, stars are so important for Christmas!!!! I used Kraft paper and a star punch. I used the positive and the negative shapes. I used some rustic thread (don't know the name in English) to hang the stars and used some foamy tape to anchor them to the background. I finally added a sentiment (free on-line vector)... I had to cover a mistake I made when I tried to stamp the sentiment and didn't look good at all!
I hope to do better with Kraft on white in future, but for being first time it's not that bad either!

Bloom where you are planted

Hello!
Today I want to show you a CAS and quick card I made to say bye to some dear friends that are leaving. I know they will be very fruitful wherever they are!

I used Sweet November Garden Gnome Myra rubber stamp, I inked it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. Second time I used this cutie!!!   The stamp is big, so I only used some red cardstock for the mat. I had the sentiment kept in my computer, (sorry, don't remember where I've got it). To embellish I faux stitched around the image and the sentiment with Triplus fine-liner marker Staedtler, I also used some paper flowers and with green twine I made a bow for its center.
I hope you like it.

Jingle Bells and Stars

Hello, dear friends!
I am preparing my Christmas cards, and today I have a new one to show you.

The image is by Bugaboo and colored with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I used a punch to round the corners in the image and the green mat. I used some patterned paper from my stash, the same golden stars on green and red backgrounds. To embellish the card I used a wide red Christmas ribbon with stars, a very thin red ribbon. I also used three bells and tide them with a bow and glue three golden stars.

I hope you like my card!

Blue and silver

Hello, my friends!
I would like to share with you a couple of images of a Christmas card I just made...

I think the image is from A Day for Daisies, an old freebie. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Spellbinders label die and used a bigger one for the blue cardstock mat. I also used a silver ribbon and three silver snowflakes. I think it can use some glitter too... maybe I will add some! The back papers are from my stash, the silver one I've got in an exchange and the blue one is Alt-Abdi (from Kz.)

Hope you like it!

Classic Christmas colors

Hello everybody!
I want to show you a new card I made for Christmas using traditional green and red colors.

I don't remember where I've got the image (I think it's a Cuddly Buddly freebie from long ago), I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Sizzix oval die and with a bigger one I cut the green mat. The patterned paper is from a Russian pack (don't remember the brand). To embellish the card I used a red Christmas ribbon and some glitter for the image.

Gingermen card

Hello friends!
I made my first Christmas card and here it is! It is a very CAS one :)

The ginger-man image is a freebie at Beccy's, I printed and colored it a couple of years ago, when I still didn't have markers.... I cut out each of them and used some foamy tape to place it on the red gingham mat. To embellish the card I used a green Christmas ribbon and added some glitter.

Hope you like it!
