Missing you

Hello my friends! Hope you are having a great day. Yesterday, I received some sad news, my niece's dog of 14 years died. I got really sad because I got that dog for her when she was only 6, now she is 20. I talked to her last night and she was very sad but feeling better. The saddest part is that her dog has been my dog's (his name is "Bethoven") company for over all these years. My sister told me he was crying and I am pretty sure he is missing "Pelusa" so much. He is 14 years old too. I wish I could bring him here, but I can't. My family there (Peru) is taking care of him now.

Anyway, I was feeling kind of blue, because I am missing my doggie and my family too! so I decided to make a card to send to my niece and I hope she can feel better soon.

I usually don't use too much black on my cards, but I think this one turned out pretty good. Today, I got  my new SU paper "Love Letters" and I decided to give it a try. I also made more paper flowers in different colors, :) this one is pure ivory, the edges are ink with Antique Linen and Tea Dye, I add some Clear Glitter from MS.

I am combining several challenges and they are:

Directions:

• Make card from card stock.
• Mat card stock and patterned paper, ink edges and stitch.
• Die-cut label, sponge and stamp image and sentiment.
• Add ribbon using scor-tape.
• Add paper flower and buttons.

Missing you

A note of Thanks.

Hello my friends, here I come again, my second post for today. This time I am playing Kristina Warner Challenge: One Layer Card. I am not a OLC maker, but once in a while I challenge myself to try it, I love embellishments too much :)

Anyway, for my card I used 7 different ink colors!!! I started stamping the Weave BG from smARTworks (now 50% off while sullies lasts!!) in Ginger, Tangelo and Walnut Stain Ink. Then I stamped the images from On The desk set (Cornish Heritage Farms) in Espresso Ink. Then I stamped the side pen in Peeled Paint Distress Ink. Finally I sponged the borders, I started with Tea Dye, Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock" White (GP)
Stamps: On the Desk  (CHF), Weave BG (smARTworks).
Ink: Ginger (Adirondack), Espresso (Adirondack), Tangelo (Memento), Peeled Paint, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain (all Distress Ink by Ranger)

Hope you like it.

Hello my friends, I hope you all are having a great day! Lately, I've been suffering from Sinus Headache, I would say that I've been feeling miserable. No energy, and no time for stamping. But today, I am feeling a lot better, my headache is not too bad, so I decided to stamp!! I think this is the best therapy when you are not feeling well.
Anyway, I forgot to mention that Queen Kat Designs had a contest last month and I am in the top 10 finalist!! So, on the second round I have to create a card and a 3-D project. I have created and Easel Card and a Vintage Book

Easel Card: I've been wanting to make a card with this technique since forever :) So, I thought this could be a good time for it. I love how this turned out. I used Gina K.Pure Luxury card Stock. I love it, the CS is so thick and works great with this kind of technique. I sponged and stitched the borders on the big panel. The main image was cut and embossed with Circle Nestabilities and adhered on a Square Panel ( cut and embossed with Nestabilities as well)

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Pure Luxury White, Pure Luxury Brown.

Paper: Out & About (My Mnd's Eye)

Ink: Espresso (Adirondack) Desert Sand (Memento)

Stamps: On the Desk (Cornish Heritage Farms)

Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon (Offray), Clear Rhinestones (Kaiser Crafts)

Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, Border Punch (Fiskars), Nestabilities (Circle and Square), Dimensionals, daubers.

Mini Vintage Book: I cut 4 piece of 3"x3" Pure Luxury White CS. Then I stamped the BG images, after that I stamped the main images in Rich Cocoa. After that I sponged the borders and the inside of each square. Finally I punched every corner and added some Gold Cording and made a bow at the end.

Mini Book Recipe:
Card Stock: Pure Luxury White.

Stamps: On the desk (Cornish Heritage Farms), BG-12 Weave and BG -14 Marble (smARTworks).

Ink: Rich Cocoa (Memento), Ginger (Adirondack), Peeled Paint Distress Ink (Ranger), Real Red (SU).

Embellishments: Gold Cording (Gina K. Designs)

Accessories: Daubers, Hold Punch.

I hope you like them.

Have a great day!!
