Flowery birthday

Hi, again!
On Sunday is one of my best friends birthday and she love gardening (today I pass by her house and she was gloves on, cuting some branches and trying to make her garden nicer for the spring...) and made this card for her:

I used a D2D (Now From the Heart stamps) image I've got recently called Dotty and her friends. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and cut it out. This image goes perfect for my gardener friend, I colored it with her colors and loving her flowers...

I used some chinese paper for origami that I've got as a gift a while ago, I felt the colors were the right ones for this card... I also used some beige and green cardstocks. I made some stitches in the squares with a green glitter pen.

Then, I used two different ribbons and made a double bow (I love how it looks the double bow!) and used 4 cold porcelaine flowers (that I have for ages...) to complete the sketch. I just realize watching the pics, I forgot to put the sentiment... that would be tomorrow, now I feel tired to do it and take new pictures! It´s more than 1 a.m....

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

Catch the bug: green thumb
Whimsy Inspires: stitches
Just add Ink: just add green
Forever friends: lots of flowers
Crafting for all season: spring

Christmas in March

Hello!
In the begining of every year I say I will do Christmas cards during he year, but I never did... until this year!!!
Back in January I saw this Christmas challenge at Lady Anne's challenge blog and thought this woul be a good way I will do at least a couple of cards every month... This is the first for March.

I used this cute image with the girls singing by Stamp 'n Doodle... I love the one in the middle so concentrated, love her expression! I colored with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and used some glitter glue to make some details (in red and green). I used a green cardstock as a mat of it.

I used music dp and some green cardstock that looks like velvet, the texture is awesome... I also used red cardstock for the mat and for the circle.

The only embellishment are some red rhinestones in the corners of the image.

Sketchy Friday #11

Hello and happy Friday!!!!!!! How I love Fridays..... this is my favorite day... and now that spring is coming, more than before :) This week we had warm days, no rain, no snow, only sunny ones, so nice!
I want to show you this card I made for our new sketch challenge at Sketchy Friday.

 And this is the sketch, isnt´it a fab one? I love Sonia's sketches!!! The .studio cut file for Silhouette is free to download and save some time cutting papers.

I used Flower Bunch and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils.I printed them two times to glue them with foami tape and give dimension to the bunch.  I used orange cardstock to mat it and I made some cross stitches around the edge, I think they go perfect with the buttons... I didn´t use a sentiment as I don´t know yet how I will use this one.

I used Alt and Folia dp, all full of flowers and very spring. I used more orange cardstock and cut with a wavy Erich Krause scissors. 

I used a couple of green buttons and some orange thread to make the centers of the flowers. I used a scalloped circle and a daisy punches to make the three flowers, inked the edges with an orange ink pad and used green rhinestones for the centers of them and I glued them with foami tape.

You can see the dimension here:

Come and play with us this week, you can use any image (rubber, digi, etc...) just follow the sketch and you can win some fab SKdigis.

Happy frog

Hello!
Yesterday I made this card but I was so tired to post... If you follow 2 Cute Ink at Facebook, you've got this froggy freebie... and also there is a challenge with this image.

This cute frog is the protagonist in a game called iFrogger, and the artist of 2 Cute Ink is the creator of the drawings, to celebrate, there is a challenge going on. Here are the links to the game and to the freebie: iFrogger Game link- https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifrogger/id587404667?mt=8

I colored the image with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I matted with a purple cardstock, and made some faux stitches with a green glitter pen around the image.

Then I used cream cardstock that has a microembossing and green cardstock, I used an embossing folder for the green one (Sizzix - Birthday). And more purple cardstock to mat the sentiment (I made it with my computer and printer, very simple).

The little green frogs were made with a frog punch I have hardly used, and am happy I did to complete the sketch. I glue them with foami tape, I love some dimension {not showing in the pics :( }

I choose to work with Kathleen Irish Dancing and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I placed it on a dark green cardstock mat.

I used Pingüino dp and some digipaper by SKdigis that I had printed for a previous card... and some more dark green cardstock

This forthnight our challenge at Gingerloft is GREEN. You can use any image, any sketch, any embellishments but make it green!!!

I used Bird House Swirl and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I placed it on a green cardstock mat. I made this card for a friend that just moved and today we are going to visit the new place, so I am giving it to her and her family (with a present!)...

I used dp by Folia and Rosie's Studio. I used some Folia green cardstock to mat all the paper squares. I also used white cardstock and a Tim Holtz texture folder for the background and again the same green cardstock.
