Say it with flowers

Hello!
Today I want to  show you a new card I made for a friend who is leaving, I don't like to say "bye" but is better if I can give a card for it...

The image is by Birdie Brown and my daughter colored it with copic and kuretake markers. My friend is always full of joy and so fun, I thought this image would work perfect for her, hehehe.... anyways, I used a striped patterned paper and a salmon color mat for the image and the whole card. To embellish it I used a teal flower ribbon and orange rhinestones.

Hello, dear friends and visitors!

I would like to show you a card I made:

The stamp is by Mo Manning, I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad to print it on the paper. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a circle die cut and used a blue ink pad to distress the border. The same for the sentiment that comes in the set.

The dp is Poligraphservis and I also used some blue cardstock. With the same blue cardstock I punched some daisies and used a blue rhinestone for each flower's center.

Hello and happy Friday!
Today we have a new challenge at QKR Stampede and it's a favorite one:

ANYTHING GOES!!!!!!!

I chose to make a Valentines/Friendship card:

I used the image Secrets (digi 14312) and the sentiment Secrets and friends (digi 14713)  and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it with Labels2 Spellbinders die and made the same for the purple mat and the same with the sentiment.

I saw this color combo in another blog and wanted to try it: purple/orange. I used 2 different colors from the Circles dp collection by Alt and purple cardstock for the mat.

As embelishments I used a hearted purple ribbon and made also a bow and to decorate the bow I used a white heart with some purple embossing thread (DMC). I also used some purple gems for a corner.

Better with Friends

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Today I want to show you a card I made for the freebie challenge at Imagine That!

The image is Jenn 'n Friends and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I used glitter for the snow and the fur. I placed the image on a purple cardstock mat.

I used one of the sentiments that comes in the set, I think this is a good way to say thanks to a special friend (preparing for Valentines). The dp in the background is Sarabooks Amethyst.

To embellish it I used a couple of swirls (Sizzix die cut) in purple and white and some purple rhinestones. Some metallic snowflakes with more rhinestones and a purple ribbon and made a bow. (Yes, the ribbon is purple, but I don´t know why, in the picture looks blue...!)

Hello!
I was so thankful today that I saw a reminder in a challenge I want to participate... "Imagine that" has a freebie progressive challenge going on and I am almost late to link it.
This is the card I made:

The image is part of a gorgeous set called "Bouquet for..." and the freebie is "...my friend". I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and then placed it on a green cardstock mat.

I used papers by Folia and by Rosie's studio and the same green mat for them. The sentiment is a Create with TLC and also placed on a green mat.

I complete the sketch using three green rhinestones. I was looking today for a sketch to make this card and found one I really liked it and also the theme of this challenge goes perfect with my image and the sentiment.
