2 challenges, 1 stamp set and a Happy Birthday!!

Hello my friends, I hope you are having a great day! I woke up today with a tummy ache and it doesn't go away! It is bothering me really bad. I am having a very slow day, I was planning on posting this early, but.. now you know why I couldn't. Anyway, enough of me and moving forward to show you a couple of cards I made for a couple of challenges using "Spring Florals" by Gina K. Designs. and also participating in the Color Challenge Blog Hop.

Easter Blessings: For this card I used Creme de Menthe, Lovely Lavender and a bit of Lemon Drop. I stamp the image on White PL CS in Stazon Black, colored it with Prismacolor Pencils, cut out the second image and positioned it on top for a 3D look. I used my oval Nestabilities to cut and emboss and sponge the image.

I added some CB BG and straight stitches. I based my card on the sketch from 2S4U.

Card recipe:

Card Stock: Creme de menthe, Lovely lavender, Lemon Drop.

Stamp: Srping Florals.

Ink: Stazon Black, Memento Sweet Plum.

Embellishments: Ribbon, Pearls, Diamond Stickles.

Accessories: Sewing machine, Cuttlebug, Embossing folder, Daubers, Sticky foam.

Birthday Wishes: For this card I used Creme de Menthe, Innocent Pink and White PL CS. The image was stamped in White PL CS in Stazon Black, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with OMS. I added some of the flowers and leaves for a 3D look, after that I added some Diamond Glaze. The image was cut, embossed and sponged using Circle Nestabilities.

I based my card on the Mojo Monday Sketch.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Creme de Menthe, Innocent Pink, White.

Paper: Baby Girl (Heidi Grace Designs)

Stamps: Spring Florals.

Ink: Stazon Black.

Embellishments: Pink Satin Ribbon (Offray), Pearls.

Accessories: Sewing machine, Cuttlebug, Textile embossing folder, Medium Glue dots, daubers.

Tip, tip: In order to give my image a much real look, I used Glue dots instead of Sticky foam, they work much better!! Hope this tip help you.

And finally, I want to wish my beautiful niece Johanna a Happy Birthday! She is turning 17 today! WOW, I can't believe it. It looks like yesterday when she was born, sadly the same day my uncle passed away. It is amazing how dead also bring life.

I love my niece very much and I miss her a lot!! She is very funny, sweet and the most honest person. Anytime I talk to her, we laugh a lot!! Happy Birthday Johy!! Wishing you the best!

Mojo Monday #56

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great Monday. My sinus infection still on and active, arggghhh, I have good and bad days, yesterday was a really good day and I had some time to stamp after church. I played Mojo Monday 56 (from last week), but when I tried to get a good pic it was too late, so I had to wait until today for a good picture.
Anyway, my card has a lot of heat embossing and 3d effect, so my card also qualifies for October Project Parade by Verve. A lot of heat embossing, the small butterflies in the circle are embossed using gold ep. The big butterfly is embossed in gold ep as well, but on black CS. The flowers are stamped twice and positioned with 3D foam, I colored them with watercolor pencils, markers and them embossed using Clear e.p.
I stitched my second and third layer on CS, added some gold brads and the big butterfly has some mini rhinestones.
The pretty set is Cone flowers by smARTworks.

Mojo Monday #56

I am back!!!!

Hello everyone!!! Did you miss me??? LOL. I want to start this post thanking everyone their good wishes. I have to tell my back is feeling a lot better, the bad headaches (I didn't mention before) are gone; I stopped drinking coffee and I am feeling much better, funny or not I change the decaf for regular and after that I was miserable, now I am taking a break for coffee, LOL, I hope soon I can start drinking my yummy coffee again.

I had a good time with DD, we spent a lot of time in the pool, we hit 100 F (and more), we had really hot days. Today we are going to be only in the upper 80s, still hot for me, but it's better.

On the other hand I spent all this week working outside, we moved into our new house last year, sad to say we don't have a yard, just some grass in the back, so I spent hours pulling weed, racking and getting dark LOL, well something I don't need, but I look really tan now.

Anyway, back to business. I created 3 cards to show today.

Mothers and Daughters Creation Challenge: I created this cute card, I think the pic is not good enough to show the beauty of this card (well my camera is not good,LOL) I made it for MDC Challenge. You have to check this page out. This card is 5 x5.

Sympathy Card: Dear husband asked for a Sympathy card, one of his co-workers loss her mom and I think this card is simple but elegant at the same time. The image is from DRS Designs

Mojo Monday 45: I used one of the Lockhart images images through the WRG. I used clear embossed powder, I really really like this card.For more info about Mojo challenges check here

I hope you like my cards and my come back to blogging.

I will appreciate your comments.

Have a great day
