Life´s a beach!

Don´t you agree this image is cute, cute, cute??!!! love the tiny toes... It´s Penny from Michelle Perkett. I wanted this card to be as clean and simple as I could make it, I´m still wondering if it´s too clean and simple... anyway I like it a lot!

I colored the image with colored pencils and tried to give Penny a little tan since she is enjoying summer already. I glittered her swimming suit (because she is cute and therefore she has to sparkle).

And I applied that dimensional clear glue to the rubber ring, looks like the real one. After it dried I cut the image and placed it with foam tape to the card. Finally I glued the sentiment that is from another cute image from Michelle Perkett: Olive.

It was ages since I didn´t use a digital image on my cards... I like how this one turned out, very easy to make too!

This weekend I was lacking of inspiration so I decided to make some flowers and embellishments while my mojo was getting back to me. I made this heart to try this yo-yo heart embellishment I saw a while ago here. I printed the letters on cardstock, cut them and glittered them with white chunk glitter.

I cut a strip of embossed vellum paper from my stash and glued it to the bottom part of the card (not sure if you can see it from the picture...), glued a scrap of red net and on top I ruffled a piece of white sheer ribbon from my stash too. Finally I hot glued the letter and heart.
Thanks for stopping!

A tag

Love this pixie, beautiful image! it´s from A day for Daisies and I made this tag to play at their challenge blog. All papers are from my stash as are the embellishments. I started by giving shape to a scrap piece of red cardstock, I used a template I found at Lilly of the Valley place that I modified a bit.

Then I cut a piece of this gorgeous embossed vellum paper and placed it on the tag, and on top of this layer I glued a piece of this gift wrap paper I used as patterned paper. I glued clear sequins around the patterned paper, once it was dry I pierced the holes to stitch light pink seed beads with white embroidery floss.

I colored the image with colored pencils and used mineral oil to blend the wax. Glittered the pixie wings and cut carefully around before placing the image with foam tape on the tag. I finished it with a piece of tinsel that I stapled it to the tag.
