Thank you {FRIEND}

Hello my dear blogger fiends! we are having a HUGE party at The Outlawz this week!!! lots of prizes and plenty of fun and inspiration for everyone. You don´t want to miss it!!

Here I´m showing my inspirational creation for our group Twisted Thursday at The Outlawz, we want you to use: red, yellow and green on your creation. And these are what I made! two tiny cards that turned out better than I thought ☺

Can you find the differences??? there are not so many....and this is how I made them: I took scarps of my so loved hanging paper folder and cut them with my cricut, I layered them on a very (very) old paper from my stash that happened to have those gorgeous warm fall colors. Then I took a scrap of an embossed vellum paper and punch it with that pretty lace border punch (from MS) and I stamped "FRIENDS" with brown ink on another scrap of paper, glued them together on the front of the cards and added a few details to it: a couple of buttons (from my stash too), faux stitching with white gel pen and a tiny tag (also cut with my cricut). I saw the card too plain at this stage, so I took one of those (also beloved) expresso crushed cups and glittered them with chunk glitter, I ruffled a piece of fabric and placed it behing the cup. I wanted also to add an image, so I colored that cute pumpkin (from Tiddly Inks) with colored pencils and placed it with foam tape on the cup for dimension. My green was missing!!! well, not quite, but a tiny leaf was not enough green, so I glittered two pins ($ store ones) to finish the embellishments of the cards. Lots of tiny details that kept me entretained one afternoon. Hope you like them and play with us.

Angel in a jar

I love to make little things for my daughter, and I love to recycle things, so I put the two of them together and I made this cute angel in a jar.

The idea is very simple: you start with an empty marmalade jar, then pick an image you like to put inside and embellish your jar as much as you want!

I used a Michelle Perkett image that I colored with colored pencils and added some details to it: pearl paint on the stars and moons on her dress, glitter on her wings and cuffs, and a few white feathers on her wings too. I glued the angel inside the jar and fill it with some iridescent plastic shredded paper as clouds.

Then I painted the lid with gesso, and after it was dry I glued with mod podge a sentiment made with single words cut out from a magazine. I finished the lid glittering all its border.

And to finish this craft I painted tiny dots of glow in the dark paint on the otside of the jar, my idea was for them to look like tiny stars during the night, they can not be seen very well on the picture...
This is my inpirational creation for you this week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday group, we have a very easy challenge for you: anything goes! hope you can join usin the fun

Two cards today

Look how beautiful this image is! it´s from Designed to Delight and I made this card to play at their challenge this week. The patterned paper on the background is a napkin, they come in gorgeous colors and design lately. I added a piece of ribbon I had for ages, some twine and a button

I colored the Pail of flowers with colored pencils and didn´t blend them because I love the texture of this paper.

My second card is a CAS one

Very simple indeed! but I like it a lot. I used Home from Shirleys 2 girls and I colored it with crayons and blended them a little bit with mineral oil. Glittered the clouds, embellished with a piece of sheer ribbon and two heart pins (I glittered one of them too).

Here is another picture where you can see the iridescent cardstock.
