Challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Paper Piecing

Hello Friends,


I hope you all are keeping well!

Today is my turn to show you a card with paper piecing that I made for the Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog (http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/).

I just love paper piecing.. it is so easy and so pretty!!

I used the 903 Charleston Tilda from Magnolia Stamps and paper piece her dress and her shoes..  what a chich gal this is (hehehe), I inline her shoes with copics spica, but unfortunately, it can't be seen on the pic.

I colored her hair, skin and little flower on her dress with copics markers.

Flowers are from prima, pins from making memories and rhinestones from kaisercraft. I outline the white rectangule with stickles.

Not sure what is going wrong, but I cannot link the words right now, so I'm copying the link below for you can go directly to them at Stamping Scrapping.

Kissing Couple

Hello Friends,

Here is one more card I made last week as per my friend request. This is to give to her boyfriend, so had to be very romantic one!

Green color is his favourite color, so I made it in green.  This gorgeous paper I received from my kind friend Pat Smith. 

As it is for a boy had to be simple one so I decided to make an easel card!

Here is a closer view on the image:

Images are Tilda and Edwin from Magnolia Stamps and I've colored both of them with copic markers, on the grass I used flower soft and the bird I made it 3D.  To embellish the card I put heart shaped brads on each corner and green silk ribbon.

Take a closer look at the bird:

I can tell you that my Friend's Boyfriend liked the card very much!!    I'm really glad about it!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

A cute Penny Black Girl

Hello Friends,

Last night when I got home from work that was a envelope waiting for me from my Dear Friend Liliam Abrams... 
She told me a week ago that she was sending me some Popcorn Teddy Bear images and I was so excited about that because they are so dam cute, but when I openned the envelope besides of the Teddy Bears  there was too Penny Black, Tildas, House Mouse stamped images and cardstocks.. OMG.. what a gift... everything is so pretty!!!

So I made a card this morning that I want to show you!!  It is so cute!!  Love the image!!

Dark Blue flower paper & PB image is from Lilian and light yellow and plain blue cardstock and ribbon are from Gail Lass.

Others embellies are from  my stash.

I'm entering this card on Friday Sketchers with the sketch.

Six Girlfriends

Hello Friends,

I had a really difficult challenge for me!! I was asked to make a card with 6 different Tildas representing  each one of the 6 girlfriends...    

OMG, it took me 4 1/2 hours to finish this card.  But I can say now , I'm pleased with it!!!

And the most important thing, my Friend love it!!! She is going to give to her girlfriend as it is her birthday!!  This is different friend from the one I made a card couple of days ago!!!

Anyway, she asked to do not put any sparkle, gem, nothing.....   for me it is a hard task as I adore embellishing the cards with rhinestones and others... heheh

I had to use a plain cardstock beucase I thought it would be too much wiht a pattern cardstock  and as I didn't had much room to work with a sketch I decide to do a simple one...

Just got  this gorgeous green plain cardstock that I received from Gail, a bit shining..  couldn't resisit hehehe

I colored all Tildas and logs with copcis markers...   used flower soft for the grass and little flowers are Magnolia. I put a very tiny half adhesive pearl in each corner..

I really liked it and you????

Leave a comment and let me know, ok?!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Hugs,

Vivi

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,

Vivi

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!!

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:
