Cardmaking Italia - challenge di Aprile

Ciao a tutti !

oggi sono molto emozionata perché pubblico la prima card per il dt di Cardmaking Italia!

Il primo challenge del mese di Aprile consiste nel seguire la moodboard che vedete sotto;  potrete partecipare creando una card o tag o segnalibro, con almeno due colori di quelli presenti ,ma potrete inserire o lasciarvi ispirare anche dagli altri elementi nella foto.

Hi everyone!

Today I'm very excited because I'm publishing the first card for the Cardmaking Italia dt!

The first challenge of April's month consists in following the moodboard that you see; you can participate by creating a card or tag or a bookmarker, with at least two of the colors that

you found, but you can also insert or get inspired by other elements of the photo too. 

Vi devo dire che uno dei miei colori preferiti é il giallo, quindi

ho giocato facile! Per la mia card ho usato tutti i colori della palette prescelta, usando i vari toni del giallo, il nero e il grigio e per emulare la trasparenza della foto presente nella moodboard ho usato il vellum.

Inoltre, l'ha fatta da padrona la parola "change": il mio cambiamento é stato quello di non fare nessuna colorazione!! cosa davvero insolita per me:-)

Ora ditemi cosa ne pensate:

I admit that on of my favorite colors is yellow, so for me has been a pleasure doing it! For my card I used all the colors from the palette, using some shades of yellow, black and gray, and to imitate the transparence of the picture of the moodboard I've used vellum.

Moreover, the word "change" played a big role in my work: my change has been to not do any coloration!! A very unusual thing for me :-)

Now tell me what you think about it:  

Come vi dicevo, questa volta nessuna colorazione ma solo timbrate, e cartoncino colorato.

Per lo sfondo ho semplicemente timbrato il bellissimo background della My favorite Things e per realizzare foglie e fiori ho usato il set "Rose Furries 3D die " della Altenew.

Anche il sentiment é della Altenew ed é semplicemente timbrato su cartoncino nero ed embossato in bianco.

Ho incollato tutto su una base nera e ho rifinito aggiungendo qualche piccola paillette dorata e qualche puntino nero qua e la-

As I was saying, this time non coloring but only stamps, and colored cardstock.

For  background I've simply stamped the beautiful background from My favorite Things and to create leaves and flowers I used the Altenew's "Rose Furries 3D die" set.

also the sentiment is from Altenew and it's simply stamped on a black cardstock and embossed in white.

I've glued everything on a black base and I finished by adding some golden paillette and some black dot.

Spero che la mia card vi sia piaciuta e che  vogliate seguirmi anche in questa nuova avventura!

r chi ancora non lo conoscesse vi invito a seguire il gruppo FB di Cardmaking Italia  per mostrarci i vostri lavori e lasciarvi ispirare dai nostri challenges.

Aspettando di vedere i vostri lavori vi mando gli auguri  per una buona e serena Pasqua.

Noi ci ritroveremo presto

"Hoppy" birthday

Hi crafty friends!

I'm here today, to share my latest card made using the lovely Magengo Digi stamps.

To start my card I printed all the images on X-Press blending paper and cut them with the Silhouette Cameo. Then I colored the image I need for the card with Copic Markers.

As a next thing I thought about the background coloring it too with Copic.

I put it on a A2 card base and  over I start to insert all the elements, I had previously colored ,using the mousse pads to add dimension.

Here some other pictures:

To make this I used the digi sets "Funny Frogs" and "Awesome day".

You could find them and many others  in the Magengo Etsy shop.

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading me!

Ciao ciao!

You color my world - Spring tulips by Alex Syberia Design

Hi crafty friends!

this is Nicoletta here to share the card I made for March release Instagram hop !

As always, Alex created some beautiful digital stamps that I’m sure you’ll love. For my card I chose to use the  "Spring Tulip A2 Card Panel" .

First off I printed the image on XPress It Blending card paper and then I colored it with Copic Markers.

I started with my lightest color, R30,  to continue with my darkest one,  R59,  using a flicking technique that it's basically a  very fast move of the brush tip with the final part  thicker  and lighter than the start point.

You could use the top of the tip or the side of the brush. In this case, and generally when I color flowers I prefer to use the top of the tip to have more definite strockes.

After the R59, I continued with my medium colors, the R37/R35/R32  and at the end with R30.

To intensify the shades I repeated these steps one or two more time adding in the zones I want more darker a little bit of W8.

Notate the when I color flowers I used to color one  petal a time

I cut an A2  black base card  and using the white acrylic paint I made  the drips and  over   themI added some  other white paint splatters.

Once the coloring is completed  I cut out the flower and I started to think about the card base.

I added the flowers coloring on the top of  black Cardstock  and using a rectangle stitched die I cut them togheter.

Then I glued the flower  on the top using  mousse pads to add dimension and I completed adding an embossed sentiment by Altenew who represent in totally, t he card idea.

The black background with  dripping ink represents the black and white  life's  routine and the red flower gives it  value thanks to all the people who stand beside us giving us their love, friendship and smiles.

That's that for today!

I hope you enjoyed this post ! be sure to take a look at the beautiful release by Alex in her Etsy shop here.

Ciao Ciao

Wishing you the happiest birthday

Hi everyone!

I'm  here with a new nspiration card!

Let me tell something about... so.. since I saw the "Sweet Love Cupcake" stamps set in the AlexSyberiadesign Etsy shop,    I felt in love with it and I was so inspired by the Alex's coloring.

Yesterday I celebrate  my daugher's  15th birthday, and when I was thinking at her birthday card I had no doubt about the stamp  I would use :-)

This is the result:

To make the card, I simply printed it on Copic X-Press blending paper and then I colored it with Copic Markers, emphasizing  details with Prismacolor pencils and a white gel pen.

I framed the image with a black line , I added the sentiment by Simon Says Stamp and the lovely sequins to give some shine point.

Here the coloring's detail:

This the "Sweet Love Cupcake" digi stamp I used:

My daughter appreciate it so much!! Hope you like it too.

Thank you for stopping by

Sending you...

Hello crafty friends! I'm here to share with you a new card made using a digi set from the Alex Syberia Design February release. As I saw the collection I was sure to make some card using the adorable "Love Cookies" digi set, so today I had some fun making a very Clean & Simple card.

I  create my background using  the single elements of the "Love Cookies" digi set,  merging all together in MS Word.

Then I printed it and and an extra cookie into X-press Blending paper.

I left the background in black and white and I added it on the white base cardstock; the extra cookie is colored with Copic markers and added on the card using the foam pads to give some dimension.

I competed the card adding a foam die cute and a little string sentiment I made using a die and a clear stamp by Simon Says Stamp.

This the digital set I used you could find in the Alex Syberia Design Etsy shop

that's that.

I wish you a lovely week!

Ciao Ciao!

     

Up. up and away

Hi everyone crafty friends!

I'm here today to share my new card made using the digital stamp set from the new release from 

Magengo Design,

As always, Rana has excelled herself so every set is amazing:

I had har time choosing but I decided to use the  "Love is in the air" digi set and this is the result:

I used the .png file and I created the scene in MS Word, then I printed out it on X-Press Blending Paper.

For the hills and the tiny village I was inspired by an illustration I saw in the web so I drew them by myself  and I colored everything with Copic markers.

For the sentiment I die cut the word "You" and added the happy birthday embosed string,

Some enamel dots add the final touch:

This is the "Love is in the Air" digi set I used:

That's that for today!

Hope you like my inspiration card .

And remember to visit the Magengo Etsy shop to see the all the beautiful Digi stamps.

See you soon !

Ciao ciao 

 

  

Alex Syberia design team - Celebrate you today

Hello friends! I'm  here today to share with you my very first post as Alex  Syberia Design DT member!

You could understand I am very excited to join in the team so Alex thank you so much for asking me.

As a first card I share that I created for the IG hop to celebrate the amazing February release.

I chose the Floral Garden A2 card panel digi stamp and a clean and simple style and this is the result:

 

To create this card I imported the digi stamp on MS Word and  print  out on Arches Coldpress Watercolor Paper and

watercolored it using Schminke Horadam watercolors.

For sentiment I used an old Make it Crafty outlined chipboard: I embossed in white the outline part and  colored in shades of blue the top. I added a little blue label in which I stamped  and embossed in white a little sentiment from the Birthday Message set by Mama Elephant.

Here the digi stamp I used you could find in the Alex Syberia Design Etsy shop along with many other.

That's that !

Thanks for stopping by
