The Paper Players #87- CAS with buttons from Nance

This is my second card participating in The Paper Players Challenge!!! You can see the other one in my other blog. For the background, I used a technique that I saw in Capture the Moment, called Graduated Background.

I like to create my own background with inks or pastels, because that way I can combine the colors with the cardstocks I have, so I thought that it was great for this clean and simple challenge. The stamp set I used for the flowers and sentiment is Hello Again, which is discontinued, sorry. I made the butterflies with the Embosslits dies Beautiful Wings.

Hope you like my creation. Have a wonderful day! Enjoy!

A Bingo Card for Our Creative Corner

Can you believe that I haven't used the Bingo Card Stamp Set since I bought it last year? I had purchased it with the idea of doing a kind of Bingo game for Christmas with my family but as always, time plays a very important role in my life, and I couldn't make it on time.

When I saw the Our Creative Corner Challenge for this week, I said "Perfect!", this is my time to get the dust off this stamp set and get it ready to go, lol. And so here is my creation, which can be used for a baby shower or after the baby is born. I love to make the animals pop out their faces in different positons in the square. Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Thanks for popping by!

Pals Paper Arts #131

I haven't participated in the Pals Paper Arts Challenge for a while. For this challenge, there is a sketch to follow and I wanted to create a baby room using that sketch. The stamp set that I used for that purpose was Little Additions. This is a set that I have used a few times but for this card, I used nearly all the stamps that come in the set.

I would have loved to create a baby with punches to put in the crib, but I didn't have a sample handy and I didn't want to look for it on the internet because I was so concentrated on creating the room for the baby that I didn't want to lose my inspiration. So the baby will come when she is born, lol. If you have an idea on how to create a baby with punches, I'd appreciate if you could share it with me. Hope you like my baby room. Enjoy!

The Friday Mashup #50

This week for The Friday Mashup Challenge, we have to create a card following the sketch or applying the Faux Mother Pearl Technique by Heidi Baks. I decided to mash it up and do both, and if you haven't tried that technique you should try it. It is very simple and it gives a beautiful look to your card.

I like the way my vintage card turned out. I didn't mean to make a vintage card, but as usual, I start with one idea and end up with a card completely different than the one I had in mind. Does that happen to you? But I enjoy the whole process so it is ok with me. Enjoy!

Thanks for popping by! Have a great day!
