Freshly Made Sketches #39 and Embellish challenge

Hope everybody had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday, and for those who haven't celebrated Father's Day hope you had a great weekend with your energy reloaded to have a good start of the week.

I combined the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #39 and the colors of the Happy Color Trends Challenge. It is a pretty simple card featuring the new stamp set Make a Cake (126742). I used Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Daffodil Delight, Going Gray and Whisper White for the Embellish Magazine Challenge. Besides those colors the card got to have a happy sentiment.

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Embellish Magazine Challenge and Freshly Made Sketches #36

I love bicycles and the photo that is in the Bicycle Color Trends Challenge. It is colorful and when I saw that photo I felt like grabbing one of those bicycles and riding around the neighborhood, lol. I combined the theme and colors from Embellish Magazine Challenge and Tui's sketch for Freshly Made Sketches. The card came out pretty simple but I like it that way. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Me encantan las bicicletas y la foto que esta en el Embellish Magazine Challenge. Es colorida y cuando vi esa foto tuve la sensación de agarrar una de esas bicicletas y andar alrededor del barrio. Combiné el tema y los colores de Embellish Magazine Challenge y el sketch de Tui de Freshly Made Sketches. La tarjeta quedó bien simple pero es así como me gusta. 

Gracias por visitarme! Que tengan un hermoso día!

Freshly Made Sketches #33 and colourQ #135

Squeezing in under the deadline. It's already been a couple of weeks since I don't participate in these two challenges. Time flies by and weeks pass by and then I realized I had been missing my favorite challenges. Or sometimes it happens that my mojo gets lost. Does it happen to you?

I like the way  I combined the colors of the colourQ challenge. Hope you like my card!
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #19 and colourQ challenge #121

Hi there! Another card for two challenges. I used the sketch by Jen Mitchell (which I flipped over) in Freshly Made Sketches and the colors of the colourQ challenge.

As a base for the card, I used a precut card from the Everyday Elegance packet and then I added the embellishments. I painted the kettle and cup with watercolor, but using very little water because I stamped the images with Staz-On on regular Whisper White cardstock, which doesn't absorb a lot of water. Then I applied Crystal Effects on the kettle and the cup for some dimension.

When I looked at the card after I finished it, I noticed that that is a "morning picture" for me because that is what I do every morning: heat up the kettle to prepare an instant coffee or tea after I drop off my daughter at school, lol.
Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Baby shower card for Freshly Made Sketches

I don't make many baby shower cards, but it is nice to have them ready for when the occasion comes. I love to use subtle colors for these cards. I consider that these colors give a delicacy to the card just as a baby can be so delicate. I have four children, three grown ups (in their 20s), and the baby of the house is twelve, and I haven't gone to many baby showers since I haven't experienced that stage with my children yet, so that's probably why I am not into making baby shower cards often.

That's why I decided to make a baby shower card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Enjoy!
