Trick or Treat

Hello and welcome!!

To celebrate Halloween I've made a card with purple clouds and cute bats.

I created my own mask die cutting a circle from regular copy paper and then attached it to the card base using low tack tape. I stenciled the clouds using purple Distress Ink.

Then stamped the bats and glued googly eyes for a fun look.

Here's my card...

Let's Get This Paw-ty Started!

Hello and welcome!!

I've already started making birthday cards for next year. My mom, sister and hubby celebrate their birthdays on August, so I made them a fun and colorful card featuring a cute lion, which represents their Zodiac Sign: Leo.

I used watercolor paper to create my card base. Then, I used my Le Plume markers to watercolor the background and to color the lion, birthday hat and balloon. And as a final touch I glued googly eyes to the critter.

Here's my card...

Christmas Flowers

Hello and welcome!!

I've made a Christmas card using stamps from a new stamp company called Evermore DiCor, their stamps are high quality photopolymer and the best part … the sentiments are in Spanish. So this year I'll send Christmas cards to my loved ones in Spanish, yay!!

First, I white heat embossed the 'Feliz Navidad' sentiment and Christmas flowers. Then, I colored them with my colored pencils. I love how this card turned out … simple and beautiful!

Here's my card...

100% Fabulous!

Hello and welcome!!

I've made a clean & simple card featuring an adorable unicorn.

I stamped all the elements to create a little scene and colored them with colored pencils. I applied Wink of Stella to add a bit of sparkle to my unicorn's wing and wand.

Finally I die cut the frame (twice) using turquoise cardstock and glue it to my card front to frame my cute little scene.

Here's my card...
