Digital Pencil Too- Summer is coming!!!

Happy Thursday everyone! We 're having a brand new challenge for you this week at Mo's Digital Pencil Too and our supertalented teamie Kat would love to see some "summer" on our cards/projects. The weather has been quite strange here lately, can't really call it "summery", look forward for the hot and shiny days of summer!

For my card today I merged this beautiful Mo Manning mermaid called Mairin- which is part of a Little Mermaids Set , with a Coral Seafloor by Make it Crafty:

Card recipe:

Stamp: Mo Manning - Little Mermaids Set, Make it Crafty- Coral Seafloor

DP: SW- Cukoo- True Blue- digital

Embellies: Wild Orchid flowers, quilled flowers, shells, ribbons, paper doily, charm (The Ribbon Girl)

Sentiment: foam die-cuts with a Tim Holtz alphabet die

Here are some close-ups of the card:

The colors are actually peach and aquas but, as usual lately, my photos don't do justice to my work:(.

If anyone is interested, I have this card for sale in my Etsy shop.

So this is my creation for this week's "summer" challenge over at DP2, hope you will join us in the fun, there are so many precious images to play with on this theme! Look forward to see waht you come up with!

Also, if you're looking for some inspiration, please take a look at the wonderful creations my DT sisters have prepared for you starting with the challenge blog here!

Thank you all for coming!

Flourishes GD- It's Summertime!!!

Hi there sweet friends! I took some time for myself this weekend and did some coloring; I have been rushing things up the past few weeks with cardmaking and my "non existant" spare time. So I was happy to just sit down and make some cards:)

This is my last week as Flourishes guest designer, I'm so thnakful the lovely girls at Flourishes offered me the opportunity to play with these gorgeous stamps! Thanks again!

This is a card I made with one of my favorite stamp sets ever!: Beach Life, which you can find here in the Flourishes Store.

The flowers are quilled, I also added some shells and corals and a  Memory Box border die cut for the waves.

Here are some close ups:

Flourishes Guest Designer- Butterflies

Hello my lovelies! Here's my 3rd post as Flourishes Guest Designer, I really enjoy working with these cute stamps and I just wish I had more time to color:(

This week's challenge theme over at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday is Butterflies, so you either use an image with butterflies in it or just use die-cuts as I did:)

I'm so really sorry about my photo, my camera is broken and have not a clue how to fix it nor time to go and get it repaired. Hopefully, tomorrow I shall change the photo but since I'm already late with my post, I'd rather use it as it is:

The worse part is that I can't manage to take a good shot of this image:(. You can take my word it looks much much better in flesh. This stamp is part of a set called Spring is Sprung which you can find in the Flourishes store.

Today we have all of our new  Friends of Flourishes Team members sharing their “butterfly” inspirations with you!  Take a moment and leave some love on all of our designers’ blogs.

• Allison Cope
• Broni Holcombe
• Deborah Anton
• Denise Marzec

• Judy Rozema
• Katie Sims
• Iulia Tomoiaga- that's me:)

Come and hop along and visit with all of our super talented designers and join us in our challenge this week for a chance to win!! Please head on over to the Flourishes Challenge blog to see the details!

Thank you so much for your visit! Have a wonderful day!

Lili's Little Fairies- Thank You Card

Hi there! This is my second post for today, I'm really proud of myself:). No idea how I managed to have all the cards for the DT commitments done lately, I'm busy at work, at home and everywhere I go...lol. Maybe I just want to see if I can get all things done... hehe.

I really like the card I made for this week's challenge at Lili's Little Fairies, those elegant flower vases recently released by LOTV look wonderful on cards and are so very versatile!

We would like to see some "Thank You!" cards this week at Lili's Little Fairies,  we all need some of those don't we?

For my card today I used an image from the new released black and white sketch pads at Lili of the Valley called Wild Flowers which I coloured with copics and promarkers and set it against some patterned cardstock from my local store. I made some crocheted flowers, I think thet look nice on this type of card, added glitter, ribbon and some buuterflies and a stamped the Thank You sentiment (from Flourishes).

If anyone is interested, this card is for sale in my Etsy store.

Hope you will join us for this week's challenge! It's always a pleasure to see what you all come up with every week!

Big hugs to all!

I used for my card one of the newest and lovelies Mo images from the spring collection called Spring for sale, you can find it here in Mo's store.

CAS at Mo's DP2

Hi everyone and yes, I was able to make a CAS card for this week's challenge over at Mo's Digital Pencil Too. Those who know me also know clean and simple is not my cup of tea but I surely found it was lots of fun and soooo very quick to make, of course. I'm not even sure if it's clean enough...lol, I surely know it is simple:)

I've had this image already colored for a while now waiting for some time to do a paper-pieced chair, well, I just went on finding a lovely sentiment to go with it and I think it looks sweet:

Card recipe:

Image: Mo Manning- So funny

Coloring medium: copics/promarkers

DP: Old Sweet Times by Julianna Kneipp

Sentiment: computer generated ( if you want it, enlarge the image and save it on your computer from below)

This is my short post for today; hope many of you will find an extra minute to join us for this easy challenge! Look forward to see what you come up with!

Thnk you all for coming!

Hugs,

Flourishes Guest Designer

Hi there sweet peeps! A few months ago I have been asked to be a Flourishes Guest Designer, one of those opportunities I really love to take on, since I've always admired an love these stamps seeing them on varous blogs. I really looked forward to actually play with them !

This week's challenge over at Flourishes is Black Accents. I nearly never use black on my cards, most people find it's a mourning color and I have problems using the right amount of it with the right embellishing. I wanted to make a spring card but black just wouldn't fit in. So I went for a Christmas card, way too early for Christmas I know:)

I know the gorgoeus image speaks for itself, but I really love adding embellishments, as you know:).This stamp is a part of a set called Winter Bouquet, you can fin it in the Flourishes Store.

Hope you will be joining us for our  "Black Accents" challenge this week at Flourishes! Look forward to see what you peeps may be coming up with, I surely need inspiration for using black! Denise, our challenge hostess says you can use black matting, black die-cut images, black ribbon, or try the popular "chalkboard" technique that's popping up all over the blogging world. So, it's up to you now!

The Flourishes Finest Design Team will be joining for this challenge.  Here is a list of the Flourishes DT:

 Please take a look at their individual blogs!

• Allison Cope
• Amanda Havon
• Broni Holcombe
• Christine Okken
