Funny elephant

Hi, again...

... this is another card I made for this week's celebration at Catch the bug. The challenge is make us laugh/funny card... I go for the second one, this elephant is very fun, but it's not a humor card :)

I colored the image with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a green mat.

I used different green cardstocks and a Folia dp (also green...), I used an Erick Krause scissor to make the wavy edge. My only embellishment is a green gingham ribbon.

Boys card

Hello!
I would like to show you a card I made for this week's celebration at Catch the bug. This time with a masculine card.

I printed this little fellow long ago and it seems that the ink didn´t last in the paper, and I just noticed it when I made the picture... it looks weird! Anyway, I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a green cardstock mat.

I used sky blue, green cardstock and DCWV dp. I also used a blue ribbon, a couple of buttons and some mouliné thread for them.

I may add a sentiment later on, as still don´t know how I will use it yet... maybe a "happy birthday" one!

Cupcake girl

Hello!
Today I made one more card for the Celebration at Catch the Bug, today Cupcake Tic-tac-toe... there is a freebie available, but I didn´t use it...

I used Bugaboo Bratz Cupacake girl and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and cut it out to place it on an oval as she is seated there... I distressed the oval with a red ink pad.

I used red plaid dp (Pingüino) and Daisies (Muresco). I also used red and white cardstock.

I used red ribbon in two different places, under the image I pleatted it (you can´t imagine how long it took me this) and also I tied it around the card and made a bow. I used also red rhinestones to complete the sketch. The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

Flowers and spring

Hello, again!
This is my second post today (for another card I posted today, please scroll down...) As you see, today I am in spring mood... flowers, butterflies and warm colors!!!!!!

I made this card to participate at Catch the bug week's celebration challenges. (I hope to do all of them)

I used Bugaboo Bratz girl sit flowers by Bugaboo. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and cut it out, I placed it on a white circle as she is seated there and then placed it on a green cardstock circle mat.

I used orange cardstock and an embossing folder (Vines by Quick Kutz), then I used a butterfly green dp from my stash.

I used lace to complete the sketch. As embellishement I punched some daisies and some green leaves and then with foami tape I made the flowers and finish it with a yellow rhinestone in each flower. I like these flowers, the dimension they give to the card and the soft look they have.

Tweet Birthday Gift

Hello!
Last night I made two cards (scroll up for the second one), but just now I can post them...
This one is for the progressive challenge at Designed 2 Delight.

This month's image is called Tweet Birthday Gift and I had a lot of fun coloring her, sorry because the picture is not really good, it was difficult to get a good shot of it... I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a dark pink cardstock mat.

As I printed a big image I needed a sketch that doesn´t have to many elements and found it at Try stampin' on Tuesday!!! I used a dp with dark pink or fuxsia background (don´t know why it looks so dark in the pic...) and flowers and butterflies... I am longing for spring... I can´t bear more snow (... and still two more month of it ahead!). I also used a partial doilie.

As embellishments I used white ribbon, made a bow and added a butterfly charm (and a silver thread). In the right upper corner I used three half white pearls, I love how elegant they are!

Winter Wonderland

Hello, and Happy Monday!
We had a very snowy weekend here and the temperature dropped again, we have a lot of snow to play and build snowmen outside.... so we are very inspired for these winter cards :)

Today I come back with a new challenge at Digi Makeover: WINTER WONDERLAND. Remember, you need to use a digi and follow the theme and you can win wonderful stamps as prize.

For this card I used Moody for Snow... (I love these Moody girls!) I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and used some glitter for the falling snow and distressed the edge with a blue ink pad. I placed it on a skyblue cardstock mat.

I used some blue plaid dp and white cardstock and an embossing folder and skyblue cardstock to frame it.

I used a new skyblue ribbon and some blue rhinestones as embellishments.

I made a simple card today, but I like how it looks, could be for next Christmas or a winter birthday, still didn´t think about the sentiment for this card but I will find a purpose soon :)
Hope to inspire you today and I would like to see you this week playing with us in our challenge.

Snow days are fun

Hello!
Yesterday I was so tired I went to sleep and couldn't post this card.

With this card I am participating at Robin's Fetiche group at the Crafter's café. You can sign up until the 15th and then you have time to make your creation until the 31st. It´s a recipe challenge: Snowman/woman by Robin's Fetiche, snowflakes, color blue, use twine and snow in some way.

The image is Snow days are fun. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils using blues and peaches/oranges. Then I added some glitter for the snow. I placed it on a peach cardstock mat.

I used dp from my stash, both of them with snowflakes, and more peach cardstock to frame it.

I used white ribbon, peach twine and three blue metallic snowflakes (they are blue...).
The sketch is inspired in Little Claire's, but I didn´t make the complete sketch (some parts are missing) and the challenge was to use flowers/spring, so I am not participating in this challenge... hehehe... to much snow!

I made this card today for The Alley Way challenge "Be inspired" #19.

I used the free doggie for January, isn't it cute? I only colored few spots and the nose. I also used the sentiment and placed it on an orange mat.
