Another Mo manning card

Thanks for your nice comments on my cards; I greatly appreciate them.
I have bought many Mo's images but it's so hard to choose which to color! I loved these 2 images (which I put together for obvious reasons) and although I know they would be more challenging to color, I decided to only use 4 family colors. I know I have to keep practicing but I really liked how it turned out.




The images were impressed on x-press copic paper (I love it!) and die cut with nestabilities label 1 and label 1 small. I added some sparkle to her earring; I hope you can see it but it's hard to capture that on this bad quality pictures. Sorry!
A very simple card that reminds me that I need to improve my cooking!
Thanks for visiting :)

Torico's digi!

Hi everybody! I hope you are enjoying this week and staying cool. Here in San Antonio we have reached the 3 digits! 105 F! So, please, drink plenty of water while you stamp!

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I found Torico's digis while surfing the net for cute digis and I knew I had to have hers!




My card features this pretty girl, just bloomed, which I paired with Memory box paper, twine and a felt flower I made with a scalloped circle nestability. The sentiment comes from a nice HA set I won, courtesy of dear Chan!

This card is going to my husband's grandmother :)

Hi everybody. I hope your week is going well so far. I'm having a lot of fun with digital images for my cards. There are several good quality brands out there but since I love girly-cute images, I found Wee stamps a perfect fit :)

Wee stamps are designed by Silvia Zet, probably you guys already know her store :)
I chose fairy colors (not pink this time!) and since I hadn't colored anything in BG and V colors (copic), this was the right time. I finally got x press copic paper and I can tell you it's the best paper for copic markers. Your blending comes almost effortless and you don't waste precious ink like when you use thicker paper like pti (it takes longer to achieve decent blending imo).



I paired this cutey with the wonderful memory box paper (hmm, I guess it is Pixie and minuet) and nestabilities 18 for the focal die image. I had to add some sparkle to the scene and to the little one's nose.
A button from BG and a tiny tag from pti complete my card. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Birthday card

Hi back! I better post this before my "craft time" is over :) I used a cute PB stamp for this birthday card. I need to send it to my friend (kind of belated greetings! oops) and I hope she likes it :)




I used the new paper line from MME life of the party. Since the paper is kinda too colorful, I was afraid there was no space for the sentiment... I hope it doesn't look too saturated/over the top. I used some spica pens to highlight the flowers but it's hard to catch the shine.

Not my best coloring (I colored this like 2 months ago! (I know, shame on me!) but I'm still learning and have some fun during the process.
Thanks for visiting and for your nice comments. Have a great Sunday!

Hi there! I'm back to post this really quick. I'm supposed to get ready (and baby) to go see a teacher who is retiring today! Aww, after more than 30 years of impeccable work and patience to 2nd graders...
Anyway, I have this card which is kinda neutral, for a girl or a boy, but celebrating (any event, told ya it was neutral!)






I tried to capture the glittery candles (stickles) and icing ( pink spica) but my photography skills are in its infancy.
I have more cards that I need to photograph but maybe during the weekend. Thank you for visiting and enjoy the holidays!

More cards

I finally had a chance to shoot these pics of some cards I made. The 1st card is from the TGF set I got a week ago. I think he doesn't really look like a traveler since his clothes are really clean, lol. The moment I saw this stamp on Alice Wertz's blog, I knew I knew I needed to get it! I copied it, uhm, got inspired and made my version:


I'm not sure about this one, it seems to me that the background is kinda distracting from the focal stamp:

I wanted to enter this one in a contest but I'm so insecure about it. Maybe I will get it better next time:


I adore this PMS fairy! My coloring sucked but I enjoyed making it nonetheless:

Oops, my 1st copic card, I made it last year and I haven't sent it to my MIL; I think I can improve it:
Until next time! Thanks for visiting!

Finally a card!

I have neglected posting here because I have had more than I could handle but I try to stamp as much as I can.
This is supposed to be a quick post, though. I got my new TGF stamps this last week and I needed to start playing with them right away! I managed to get this card done in a couple of hours. I paired this pretty girl with Graphic 45 paper (once upon a spring time) and some OA I got from Claudia's store( I love that little store because she ships right away and I always get my goodies in less than 3 days!).


I know my coloring is still in its infancy but I love coloring with my copics! I'm waiting for a small order (24, lol) of copics from a store that I'm not sure I like (carpe diem), the copics, sketch, were on sale, 3.90 each, but then their customer service is awful! They just don't tell you when your order is shipped and for clearing your payment, they take 3-4 days! Otaku fuel is muuuuch better about that but their prices are not on sale right now (4.90 regularly).

Okay, enough venting, lol. Thanks for visiting!
