I colored it with copic markers. Decorated the card with K&Company and Basic grey papers added petaloo flowers, rhinestones and added Stickles  on the border.
Below the tulip I added  some flower soft. Check it out on a closer view:

Patriotic House Mouse

Hello Friends,

I hope you are keeping well!!

Today I would like to show you a card that I made with House Mouse - Make a wish stamp for Stamping Scrapping shop.   I made a patriotic one as US will be celebrating the Independence day very soon!!!

Let me tell you the details about my card:

Paper are all  free digitals that I got from the web... as I live in Brazil, it is hard to find a paper like those in here...

I colored the mouses images with copic markers, top of the cupcake I didn't color at all,  I embossed with heat gun and them added glitter and stickles...  for the cupcake I used paper piecing... and of course, I use a little of my flower soft for the grass. (I'm in love with flower soft hehe)

I colored the blue and read  rhinestones and the blue flower with my copics markers as I didn't have those colors ones again.

I think it is a pretty good idea to color them with copics with you need a specific color and you don't have it right away. I will do that more often now!

Take a look in a closer view of the cupacake:

I hope you liked my card and leave a little note for me so I know you stopped by!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Magnolia Stamp Lovers – Challenge#13 – Color Combo: Red, Blue & White

Hello Friends,

I hope everyone is keeping well!!!

It is time for a new challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog and I’ll be hosting this one.
As in USA they will be celebrating Independence Day on 4th July, I decided to propose a color combo challenge:  Red, Blue & White.

So this is the card I made for the challenge:

Let me tell you about the details of  it:
Well, I did not have an American Flag in here, so I created one  with pieces of cardstock I had in my stash and I added red stickles all around the flag.

Flowers are from Prima but I didn’t have the blue one, so I got my copic B39 and color it and added a little bit of copic spica  baby blue color.  For the rinhestones I used the square shape and again as I did not have the blue color, I colored them with my copic B39.

For the image I chose Tilda writing Diary from Raising the Celling Collection and you can find available at Stamping Scrapping.

Not sure you can see but I added a little bit of copic spica, buttermilk color, on the book.  

And here are the copics I used on Tilda:

So now, you have till 4th of July to join us at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog. Cindy, the sponsor of Stamping Scrapping is offering a prize for a lucky winner!!

Thanks 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!
