Celebrate!

I had this image for ages, and I don´t know why I didn´t use it before... well.... here I´m using Bella and Bronte cellebrating from Mo´s Digital Pencil to make a Birthday card for a friend,

This is my first time making a monochromatic card, and I very pleased with the result. I colored the image with colored pencils and added a bit of chunk glitter to the confetti to make it sparkle a bit. I took a scrap of yellow cardstock and punched one border and tied a bow with a piece of sheer ribbon, I finished the front of the card by stamping the sentiment.

On the inside I used a sentiment from TLcCreations and I embellished it with a flower (cut with my cricut) and a black brad.
Thanks for stopping!

Happy frosting day!

Hello my friends! I´m still here! with a lot of work and a little time to craft, but here I am with something to share with you all.

How cute is this image??!!! it´s Big deal birthday from Digi´s with attitude that I colored with colored pencils and glittered everywhere!

Today is Thursday, that means we are having another great challenge at Glitterbabe´s challenge blog, we are challenging you to use buttons and this is my inspirational creation I made for you. I´ts a coaster that I altered to turned it into a mobile, that´s why I decorated both sides

I used craft cardstock from my stash to cover both sides of the coaster, then I took a piece of this beautiful patterned paper (a gift wrap from my stash also) and added a circle on the front and scalloped edges on the back. I added stitches and buttons both sides: around the circle on the front and around the sentiment on the back part (placed with foam tape). The sentiments are from TlcCreations, wonderful too! To hung it I put a string of fishing line and decorated it with some large glass seed beads before gluing the cardstock.
Do you like it? hope so!!
Let´s see if I can fit my project in some challenges ☺

A sweet day

yesteday I woke up with the need of coloring one of those cute Bugaboo images and to make a card using one of the sketches I had on my notebook for such a long time that I don´t recall where I saw it (if you do, please let me know and I´ll give credit of it).
The DP is a free digi from Daisy Company Four Seasons backgrounds. I love how summery it looks. Before printing it out I digitally placed a TlcCreations sentiment. Once I glued it to the front of the card, I cut a circle and stitched some yelow glass seed beads with embroidery floss. I love to stitch my cards, it always gives me a quiet time that brings nice memories and makes me think of my mom (maybe because she taught me to do it?). To finish the front I ruffled a piece of red ribbon from my stash.

 This cute image (Summer Butterfly Bears - Ice cream) was colored with colored pencils and added glitter on the strawberry flavored ice cream.

On the inside I stamped one my old clear stamps, I love those flowers but I don´t know why I don´t use it more often... Instead of coloring the flowers I glittered them and added some tiny dots of pearled paint. I placed the image with foam tape and another piece of the same red ribbon.
This card fits the following challenges:
Catch the bug Challenge blog: sweet sweet summer time
Rosie-D´s Challenge blog: all creatures great and small
One stitch at a time Challenge blog: sketch or little pink on your project
Party time Tuesdays: summer birthday card
Truly Scumptious: golden oldie

A thank you card

Yesterday late afternoon (on my time zone) Paulette from TlcCreations set a 24 hours challenge, and she offered a beautiful image we needed only to color to participate.
I printed it out right away and I thought leaving it to color the following morning, but it was so beautiful that I couldn´t help myself and I finished it yesterday night. Today I made a card with it

this is my first time making a vintage looking card, or as vintage as I could get up to know! and I love the result! really...
These are the image before and after

I colored it with colored pencils, cut in a round shape and layered it with a piece of the base cardstock, distressed the edges and added dots of glitter glue.
I used a digi paper leftover (I used it before here, and I still can´t remember who made it...) that I distressed with ink, a ruffled lace I had for at least 4 years (!!??!!) and a ribbon I bought this morning specially for this card because I didn´t have any to match.

The sentiment on the front is from Sueli Colbert Designs and I printed it out directly on the card

and I added two dots of glitter glue paint.
I made the inside too!

because Paulette has also a wonderful sentiment that goes perfect with this image.
I´m participating with this card at Digital Tuesdays Challenge blog where we have a technique challenge: distressing, at Cupcake Craft Challenges blog where we have to use two digis from two different designers, and at Sentimental Sundays Challenge blog where the challenge is to switch it up: new technique or new style.
