My first card with Forever Friends stamp

Hello Friends,

I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday, I certainly am!
I'm so happy because mail man brought my forever friends stamps yesterday! woohoo!  I've being waiting for 3 weeks and finally they are here!!

I inked them up yesterday and colored with copic markers, but I could not decide which sketch I was going to use so I saved the colored image for today! 

Here is the colored image:

Ok, imaged  colored so I went to check the challenges at http://foreverfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ and the challenge is to make a Kinetic card and for this type you can make an easel card. That was great because I love making easel cards so I made another one:

 

For the sketch I chose one at http://ccmonthlychallenge.blogspot.com  and I have decide to join http://justcutebears.blogspot.com with Father's Day theme.

I did a 3D on the gift, take a look here:

Ok, for this card I used  Basic Grey papers and buttons, flower soft for the grass.

Sentiment is also from Forever Friends stamp that came with the Pink Parfait kit and it says:





I must say, you will see a lot of forever friends stamps from now on as I will collect all of them!! hehehe
Ok, now let me know what you think about my card!! It is cute, isn't it??!!

New card

Hello Friends,

I hope everything is having a great weekend so far!!

Today I want to show you a card I made for few challenges!
They are:

• http://magnoliabirthdaybash.blogspot.com:  Easel card + stamp never used
• http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com: pleated lace
• http://timbroscrapmania.blogspot.com:  pink color
• http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com: sketch #67

It was so so  much fun to put all the 4 challenges in one card!  I love it!
I love to make easel cards, pleating lace was very new to me and it is so easy to make.

I used unwrapped Tilda from Magnolia Stamps, colored her with copic markers and added a little bit of spica on the socks but unfortunately you cannot see. Check a closer view:

Pearls are from kaisercraft, flower is from prima flowers and heart is from K&Company.

I added pleated lace in 2 places on the card... check here other angle of the easel card:

I hope you liked my card and little a little note about it!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hanglar Blog - Challenge #1

Hello Friends,

Today I have just found out that there is a brand new challenge blog in the blog land!!  I could not believe.. this challenge blog is for Hanglar Stamps only and it is called Lovely Hanglar Only.

As for first their challenge they asked to make a card with a Hanglar image, of course, and use the colors pink & green as this is the color combo for their blog!

Unfortunately I  don’t own any H&S stamps, so this image I received in a swap that I joined. I picked this image because I imagined this cute girl bringing the good news about the challenge blog inside of that envelope she is holding!!

I don’t even know what this image is called so I hope to find out more about it….  Once I joined the Hanglar & Stamplar yahoo group but as I could not understand a word of their language I decided to leave the group. So now, I’m sure I will learn more about these cute stamps.

Anyway, to color this image I used my copic markers, papers are from my stash, pink flowers are petaloo and the big one is from K&Company and added few rhinestones.

I’m also entering this card in the challenge at Moving Along the Times Blog with a sketch.

Before I go, I want to show you a closer view of the image:

Thank you for stopping by today and checking my card out!  I really appreciate your visit!!

Hugs,

Vivi

My own background

Hello Friends,

Hope everyone is doing well!

I made this card for my Aunty who just had just a baby girl!! She lives in the countryside of S Paulo and I’m going over there to visit her and her baby next week!

I decided to enter this card in the Cute Card Thursday Challenge which is no design paper!

So, I got a lavender cardstock and embossed it with sizzix template.

For the image I used Tingla from  Magnolia Stamps, colored her with copic markers.

For the white piece of paper I used MS punch, added little purple rhinestones and purple silk ribbon from my stash!

Here is a closer view on the Tingla:

Almost forgot to mention, I added a little bit of stickles on the heart, buttons and bow. Not sure you can see it.. but it is pretty nice and a bit of sparkling!!

I hope you like my card and live a comment so I know you have  been here!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello Magnolia Lovers,

I hope everyone is ok!

Today is my turn to show a card that I made for Summer Theme Challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog.

Oh boy, I had so many stamps I could use and was so hard just to pick one.. So I decided to get this yummiee Tilda one and the Shabby Chic Fence. I colored them with copics ciao markers and on the ice cream I added a little bit of copic spicas. 

Check a closer view:

I used flower soft on the grass.. the regular and ultra fine one..  on the top of the fence I added 2 Magnolia Vintage Roses.

Take a look at other angle:

Background papers  and silk blue ribbon were in my stash, I used a Marta Stewart punches on the white and blue pieces of papers and blue rhinestones for some more sparkle on my card.

I hope you can get a little bit of inspiration with my card and come on over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers and play with us.
