All about you

There is a new blog challenge for ATCs called Wicked Wednesday and the first challenge is "All about you". Just few weeks ago I was trying first time participating in a ATC blog challenge and I like the idea of this mini-cards :)

Why this image? This is something I dream of: to be in a field of flowers enjoying the fragances. I like blue color as my favorite, my hair is dark red naturally and I have to admit that although now I like it when I was younger I didn't :( I love flowers and my favorite season is spring, and I like all kinds of flowers and all kinds of colors for them.
I printed the image from Pink Cat Studio on the cardstock and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I used a blue ribbon as embellishment with a small bow.

Challenges:
Wicked Wednesday ATCs: all about you
ATC Challenges: girly or anything goes
Pollycraft Mondays: girly, girly, girly

Sassy Studio Design is celebrating that at PCP group they have 500 members... and I'm one of them :)

They gave us this digistamp to play with, the challenge is to use it and Using metal embellisments. I colored the image with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and mounted it on a red mat. (For a few hours still available as freebie)

I mostly used black and white color and a touch of red... sassy! The papers are from a DCWV stack that  I used but I forgot about the scraps and thought today is a great ocasion to use it because of the black and white and the silver glitter on it.

I used a red lace and 4 metallic blings.

Challenges:

CDAC Progressive Challenge #4

This is my only card for this round at CDAC Progresive challenge (#4) as this is the only image that is not a Halloween one, as I don´t celebrate Halloween I don't make cards for that festivity.

This beautiful mandala is from Daisy Doodles and I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils using light and dark lavendar color. I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and also for the lavander mat the same treatment.

I used paper scraps from my scraps' box, I tried curling in one of them (first time doing this). I also used white lace (and I pleated it) and a lavendar decorated ribbon, made a bow with it, and I also used three lavander gems. I include a Thank you sentiment as this card is to say thank you to a friend.

Hope butterfly

This is my card for this week's challenge at D2D, Designed to Delight, free stamp of the month.
This is a progresive challenge, the first Friday of the month you get a free image at D2D blog and if you use it in a project you receive a new image to play with in you email inbox the next Friday. If you didn´t play last week and didn´t get the freebie, you can buy the image in the store and then, next week you get the new image :)

This week's image freebie is "Hope butterfly". I colored it with acuarelable pencils and mounted it in a pink cardstock. And I printed and colored two small ones and used them as embellishment.

I wanted to make a CAS card. I used pink cardstocks only. I used a lot of bling. Big ones on the top of the card and gems around the images.

Is it to much pink? Anyways... let's be conscious and explore ourselves, go to the doctor, make the mamograms once a year and give hope to the ones that are fighting against the breast cancer.

I feel terible as I can´t craft as I wish... I'm having very busy days lately and can´t make cards as I would like to do... If my weeks are just like the last two ones, I need to star with my Christmas card next week!!!

Thanks for reading until the end :)

Ladybug girl

for a thank you card...

I used a Bugaboo stamp that I won in a challenge a couple of month ago (yeah!) and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. (I really like how the hair looks)

I used a glittered dp from my stash and cardstock in dark yellow and red.

I do like Bugaboo Stamps... I think I made more cards with Bugaboo Stamps than any other company else...

It was really hard to find a dp for a bee card... and this one was my best choice for this card... :)

I colored the image with Koh.i.noor acuarelable pencils and cut it to the edge so I can sit him in the horizontal band.

I used a dotted dp (Printer Soyuz), purple cardstock, a yellow gingham ribbon, three purple buttons and some yellow cord to make the knots to the buttons.
