Anything goes with circles at QKR Stampede

Hello, have a good day!
At QKR Stampede this week we have a fun challenge: ANYTHING GOES WITH CIRCLES. You can use dp with circles, use circles in your layout, make a circle card... I made an easel circle card:

I used This Much (digi 13713) and I love you this much (digi 15116). I colored the image with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and cut the image with a circle die cut (Sizzix).

I didn't use dp, only purple, lilac and white cardstock for the different pieces. I used Circle die cut (Sizzix) and Scalloped circle die cut (Nestabilities).

I used purple gingham ribbon and made a couple of bows and used a daisy punch with the three different cardstocks and made flowers with a small rhinestone in each center.

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to play with us this week.

SKdigis Fall Blog Hop!!!!!!

Hi all you FABULOUS  people in blogland, I hope you are having a wonderful day!!  :)

  Welcome to our  FALL Blog Hop brought to you by the SKdigis design team

This blog hop is only 9 stops, that's quick and easy and you have the chance to win a free SKdigis image at each stop along the way.  You will start at SKdigis blog, where Sonia has another chance to win an even bigger prize! Fun and easy, yes?  We have all been working hard to bring you some fabulous projects and hope you will find eye candy and lots of inspiration along the way.

If you arrived here from SKdigis you are in the right track and the next stop is Angeline but if you just came accross the hop, you may want to start HERE

For this event I made a Fall Shadowbox. I used many of the fall collection by SKdigis and some other elements.

As I can´t find here finished boxes I built it myself, using a candy box as base and some white cardstock to make all the small compartiments.

Here you can take a look of every space and how every image has dimension. I used at least three layers on each image and glued them with foam tape. 

To hang it, I used natural raphia in brown and natural color. To embellish the box, I used flowers, buttons, ribbon to made a bow and a wooden flower on top, and natural acorns.

Here is the list of blogs in case you get lost along the way, we start at SKdigis and continue the fabulous design team members

Fall Colors at QKR Stampede

Hello and happy Friday!
Here the weather is awesome... we are having beautiful auttumn days, warm during the day and cool at evenings and early mornings! The forecast is good for the next three days and maybe Tuesday or Wednesday we'll have cloudy and cool weather...
Today I want to show you a card I made for our weekly challenge at QKR Stampede: FALL COLORS!!!!!

I used the image Raking Leaves (digi 15603) and colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a double cardstock mat (white/brown) cut with oval die cut (Sizzix).

I used Alt dp in green plaid and light yellow cardstock as mat of everything. I almost didn´t use orange in this card so my friend Maryann doesn´t have an overdosis of orange color (she doesn't like it at all)... hahaha... I chose the yellow, green and brown palette for the layout.

The embellishments are three punched leaves on a brown cardstock and some orange rhinestones.

I hope you like my card!

Sunflowers - SKdigis Inspiration Tuesday

Hello, and happy Tuesday! October has already started!!! Isn't it going to fast? or is it myself getting older?
How are you doing? I hope you are ok... here we are enjoying cool mornings and evenings and warm noons and afternoons, beautiful auttumn weather!
For that I felt inspired to make this card for our SKdigis Inspiration Tuesday:

I used the image Sunflowers and colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils and later I used some glitter glue to make some details on the image. I placed the image on a dark green cardstock mat.

I didn´t use dp, only orange auttumn color cardstocks and embossing folders with flower motives and some dark green cardstock for the backgrounds.

As embellishments I used two different orange bakers' twine and made a bow and some orange rhinestones for one of the corners.

I kept it simple to make sure the image is the focal point in the card and the sketch is appreciated.
If you want to play and use this sketch, there is an SVG file free for you to download here.Visit SKdigis blog and you can find freebies, and the complete rules for the new FANtastic linking party.
