Thanks!!

I made this card two days ago, but I didn't have time to post it here. I have been busy lately. Anyway, I tried Heater's Sketch Challenge, I was very happy with my card until I checked her blog again and noticed I twisted it, {frustrated face inserted}

With this card I tried to use the Orange District ribbon, but it looked too thick, so I decided to fake it a little bit ;) I used my Only Orange CS and white ep, my ruler and VOILA!!! I got almost the same effect than the ribbon and it looks perfect.

Card Recipe:

Card stock: Kiwi Kiss, Only Orange, Burgundy, White.

Paper: DP me & my BIG Ideas CC-03

Stamp: Sea Life by H&MStamps.

Ink: Black Stazon, Red (for sponging), White embossing powder

Embellishments: Mini rhinestones.

Accesories: Dimensionals, Diamond Glaze, Ruler, Embossing gun.

I hope you like it.

Have a great day!!!

Dear husband has some days off and he is using the computer a lot during the day, so I have to wait until he is not using it or do this (post late).

I have 2 cards to show this time.

Just Saying HI!! I tried Heather Scott's Sketch at Oz-some stamps. She is really talented and she has a new sketch every Monday, I am always late on my challenges, LOL.

My card is very simple, most of the times I like to add a lot of embellishments, but this time I decided to go "Clean and Simple. The sentiment is from SU Rub-Ons and the swirls under the birds are also Rub-Ons from Bo Bunny.

A couple of cards

Hello!!

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are having a great day.

Here in the NW the weather is great, not too hot, not too cold, just perfect. Rebecca and I went garage saleing yesterday and today after church we stopped in a couple of places, we found nothing great, oh well.

Yesterday, my DD fell down really bad, she was playing with her dolly's blanket over her head, being silly as always and then I heard a big BAM!!! Oh my what happened, I ran like crazy and found her crying and with a big scratch on her chin and a big bruise on her face, poor baby, she looks like she had a big fight with a giant, LOL.


I will come back tomorrow with something new to show you.
Have a blessed night

Nothing special..

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great day. Yesterday I received my stamps from smARTworks and today I want to show some of the projects I have done with my new stamps.
This is a card I made for yesterday's challenge on SCS: "Torn up paper". I have done this technique before, but never in circles, so I tried it out and I love it.
The stamp set I used for this card is Daisy Trio #2. I love this set so much already, I stamped the images 3 times (twice), cut out the daisy part from the second stamped image and adhere to the main image with dimensionals. For every circle I used my Coluzzle and then I started tearing my paper.

For the inside I stamped the image using Clear Embossing ink and powder.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Daisy Trio #2 smARTworks.

Card stock: White, Only Orange.

Paper: BasicGrey "Grow"

Ink: Marigold Morning, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss (all these 3 for sponging) Clear Embossing ink and Embossing powder, Stazon Black

Embellishments: SU Double stitch ribbon, Gold stickles.

Accessories: Coluzzle, Dimensionals, Mini glue dots, Liquid glue, sponges

I hope you like it.
