Rainbow Butterflies

Hello and welcome!!

Today I want to share a pretty and colorful  birthday card. It's a simple card to make.
I simply stamped the butterfly using three different color combos to create a rainbow effect in my card. Then, I gold embossed the sentiment on a strip of vellum and... that's it!

Here's my card...

For this card I was inspired by the following challenges:

• Time Out Challenge #80: "Inspired by words": 'When it rains look for rainbows, when its dark look for stars'
• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make a Rainbow
• Seize the Birthday: The "Toppings" option this time is: Vellum

Thank you so much for visiting and have a colorful day!

Ladybugs and Flowers Background

Hello friends! Hope everything is doing well :)
I love creating stamped backgrounds. For that reason, I'm sharing a card I made using my own background.
I colored it with markers and used a white gel pen to accent the center of the flowers and the ladybug's eyes. For a bit of sparkle, I used a glitter gel pen on the spots of the wings.
I'm playing along in the CA(E) this Sketch #169 Challenge.


¡Hola amigos! Espero que estén muy bien :)
Me encanta crear mis propios fondos utilizando sellos. Por tanto, hoy les quiero compartir una tarjeta que hice con mi propio fondo, el cual coloreé con marcadores.
También utilicé un lapicero de gel blanco para resaltar los ojos de las mariquitas y los centros de las flores; y para las manchas de las alas utilicé un lapicero de gel con brillitos ( en la segunda fotografía puedes ver estos detalles).
Estoy participando en el reto de CAS(E) this Sketch #169, me encanta el sketch de esta semana.

Watercolor Flowers Card

Hello friends!! I want to share a card a I made while playing with my distress inks.
I created my own stamped background and gold embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum. This is my very first time using vellum and I really like how it looks.
I'm entering this card in the CAS(E) this Sketch #168.


¡Hola amigos! Quiero compartir una tarjeta que hice mientras jugaba con mis tintas distress.
Creé mi propio diseño, estampando las flores en papel para acuarela; y estampé sobre vellum con polvos para grabado dorado. Es la primera vez que utilizo vellum y realmente me gusta cómo se ve.
Con esta tarjeta estoy participando en el reto de CAS(E) this Sketch #168.

Here's a close up of the gold embossed sentiment...
