ARE YOU READY FOR CHRISTMAS?!

Yeahhh!!!! I'm still in time for a new Christmas in July card and I had a lot of fun making it….it's always a pleasure playing with Lawn Fawn goodies!!!

I started my card cutting a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock, I ink blended it with seedless preserved, blueprint sketch and black soot Distress Oxide inks and I splatter it with water and a bit of pure platinum Nuvo Mousse loosened with a drop of water.

I then built up my scene using Lawn Fawn "Stitched Hillside borders" and "Peekaboo backdrop" dies.

Critters are from different stamp sets (snowmen are from "Ready, Set, Snow", mouse is from "Friends Forever" and llama and penguin are from "Say what? Xmas Critters"), I stamped them with Memento black ink and colored with Nuvo alcohol markers.

Well, that's all for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have found some inspiration.

See you soon. Hugs, Silvia.

A SEASIDE FRIENDSHIP CARD

Hi there!
Today I'm back with a Summer themed card.
I immediately fall in love with the Hello Bluebird "Seaside Girls" stamp set when I saw it for the first time and now I'm soooo happy to play with it!

I first stamped all the images with Memento black ink and colored them with both Spectrum Noir and Nuvo markers.
(girl skin Nuvo 477, 475, 473    brown hair Spectrum Noir RB4,RB3, RB2, RB1      blonde hair Spectrum Noir BO3, GY5, GY4, GY3     pink dress Spectrum Noir MG5, MG4, MG3, MG2, MG1     turquoise dress Spectrum Noir GT3, GT2, GT1)

I then die cut a white rectangles with La Coppia Creativa "Rettangoli Decorati" dies, ink blended with spun sugar and tattered rose Distress Oxide inks and splattered with water.
I also die cut two sand hills with Lawn Fawn "Stitched Hillside Borders" dies and two wave stripes with Craftin' Desert Divas "Outdoor Landscape 2" dies.
I then ink blended the first ones with antique line and walnut stein Distress Oxide inks and the other two with tumbled glass and salty ocean Distress Oxide inks.
Before putting all together, I stamped the sentiment and the seagulls with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossed them.

I really love how this card came out and I hope you like it too.
Thank you so much for passing by and have a great day.
Hugs, Silvia.

"WARM WISHES" FALL CARD

Hello and happy Monday to you all!

Let's start a new week with a new Fall themed card featuring several Lawn Fawn goodies.

I also colored some pumpkins with Nuvo markers (393, 392, 391, 389).

I then started working on my card base.

I used the two largest dies from the Heffy Doodle "Imperial Stitched Rectangles" and I die cut a brown rectangles from the " Knit Picky Fall" 6x6 paper pad and 2 white ones.

I ink blended one of the two white rectangles with Distress Oxide inks (shaded lilac, seedless preserved, wilted violet and blueprint sketch) and I splattered with some water and some confetti white Perfect Pearls.

I then die cut the second one with Lawn Fawn "Meadow Border" dies and I colored with shabby shutter and walnut stein Distress Oxide inks.

The sentiment is from "Thanks a Latte" stamp set and I heat embossed it with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

"YOU ARE MY RAINBOW" INTERACTIVE CARD

Hello there!!!
How is it going?
I've just come back from 10 wonderful days in the Greek island of Crete and now I'm ready to go on in my cardmaking adventure.
As some of you may knows, I was one of the Mama Elephant Top Card Contest runner up and I'm sooooo excited about it…..I just can't believe it yet!!!! But I've also some other news I can't wait to share with you.

Anyway, today's card is one I made using a lot of Heffy Doodle stamp sets and dies.

I started die cutting a white rectangle with the largest die from the "Imperial Stitched Rectangles" and I ink blended the edges using  the "Cloudy Skies" stencil and pumice stone Distress Oxide ink.
I then used the ink smooching technique  and my beloved Distress Inks to create the rainbow center and I die cut the word "RAINBOW" with the amazing "Stiched Alphabetters" dies.

I stamped my images from "Absotoothly Awesome", "Quack Me Up" and "Unbearable Without You" stamp sets with Memento black ink and I colored with Nuvo markers and Spectrum Noir markers.
I attached everything using some liquid glue and some foam tape, I matted with a black rectangles and I added some movement putting a mini wobble behind of the pink fairy.

Well, that's all for today.
Thank you so much for passing by taking a peek.
Have an amazing Sunday!!!
Hugs, Silvia.
