A card with cute little Tingla

Good Evening Ladies,

Today I made a card to join two challenges:

1st: Friday Sketchers #63 as you can see below;

2nd: A Spoon Full of Sugar #63 is floral fantasy.

I love this sketch and it is so much fun to make a card with. I decided to use Tingla image from Magnolia Stamps for this card and I think she is soooo cute!

I colored the image with copics and put a little bit of purple stickles on the bow, buttons and on the heart. It is a pitty we can see it on the pic.

Background paper is Dovecraft, I used heart shaped brads and to join A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge, I used Mulberry handmade paper flowers, 1 pink and other one white with pink dots..

As I`m a ribbon lover, I couldn`t resist and use a lilac one.

So, here goes my card:

Isn`t that cute? Let me know what you think, ok!?!? I`d love to hear.

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my card!

Scrappy Frogs Challenge #9

Hello Again Ladies,

I thought my previous post would be the last one for day, but I was reading my emails and Mindy from Magnolia Yahoo Group mentioned about this challenge blog called Scrappy Frogs that she and her friend run and this week is to make a project with Magnolia Stamps.

Well, I had made this afternoon few corner bookmarkers to send to a bookshop as samples, as I intend to sell them there and I thought, well, they are just perfect...

I know I`ve posted corner bookmarkers before, but these ones are new ones, so I think this count as a new project, right?!??!

All images are from Magnolia Store and all of them are colored with copic markers. I used stickes on the bows and wings.. and it is so cute!! I love it...

Corner bookmarkers are pretty easy & quick to make, if you would like the tutorial, please, check my 1st post about corner bookmarker, there is a link in there for the tutorial.

So here are my new corner bookmarkers:

Thank you so much for visiting me !!!!

My First Card with Bella

Good Evening Ladies,

I made this card today to join 2 challenges:

• The Character Cafe Challenge: Stitching
• A Spoon Full of Sugar: Sketch 62 by Caryn

I had never made a card with stitch before and I thought it was done with a sewing machine only, but for my surprise, it can be made by hand too. I found out that in the tutorial that is in the blog.

And for a sketch, I chose A Spoon Full of Sugar one:

So first, I`m going to show you the sketch:

As I mentioned on my post earlier, I`ve swaped images with friends at SSSD Yahoo Group and I received images for Stamping Bella...

I had never seen this stamp before and it is very cute, so I decided to use CakeBella image for this card.

I colored it with copics, decorate the card with ribbon and golden flowers... Sentiment "Just for You" is a clear stamp from Heidi Grace that I receive from a Winnie of SSSD Yahoo Group for the Christmas in July Swap today.

About the stitching, that wasn't difficult at all, the only problem is to make the holes in a straight line... I could have used a ruller to help me to keep the line straight but I did not do that... but as first time doing that, it is not too bad, is it??

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I sponged ink all around Bella`s image... it is a pitty that we can see that in the photo, but it is quite nice.

Here goes my card:

And here is the inside of it:

So Ladies, please, tell me if I was sucessfull in this challenge!!

Many many thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment.. I appreciate so much!!

Hugs,

Vivi

Hello Again Ladies,

Here goes one more card that I made tonight!!!!

I decided to join the 365 Card Challenge Blog (day 149) today as there is a new technique for me: Sponging.

I colored the image with copics, decorate my card with blue gemstones and ribbon. Sentiment is from Stampin up!! I really really love this sentiment, it says: Always on my mind - forever in my heart - isn`t that beautiful??

So here is my card:

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge #31

Good Evening again Ladies,

I made one more card tonight, now using 2 Sketches 4 You sketch as follow:

This is a nice sketch but I little bit challenge for me... I wasn't so sure how I want to embelish my card with and what stamp I wanted to use on it after seeing all the beautiful samples were made.

So, after thinking for a little while and trying to choose the right stamp for this card, I made my mind.

I decided to use a image from Hanglar & Stanglar that I received from Regina. I colored my image with copics, embellish my card with pink gemstones, ribbon and use my oval nestie to cut the image.

I must say that I'm really pleased with the result as you can see below:

I keep making the inside of the card very simple, I like that way, as I prefer to emphasize the outside of the card, so here is the inside:

So, what do you think?

Thank you so much for leaving a comment!!
