Plumeria card panel

Hi crafty friends!

I'm back  with a new card, this time colors with Prismacolor pencils!

In the last days I was tidying up and reorganizing some drawers ...

It's been a really  long time  since I've played with my pencils  so when I've opened their thin and I've smelled the parfume my noose is stuffed and I couldn't resist to use them and this is the result: 

To make the card I printed the Plumeria card Panel on Strathmore Toned gray paper and I started my coloring. Then I played with a white gel pen to emphasize the flower' borders.

In the top I stamped a little sentiment by Mama Elephant and I put  my front card on a white cardstock base.

This the digi stamp I used you could find in the AlexSyberiaDesign Etsy shop!

Hope you like my card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pull for surprise - interactive card

Hi crafty friends,

here I am with a new card made with  Magengo Design products! 

As I saw the April release I felt in love with the bees  set and  I was thrilled for the "Pull For a Surprise" cut file to create an interactive card ; so mixing and matching the elements this is my card:

The front of the card:

 The interactive part:

But now let me say something about the making!

As a first thing I opened the "Pull for surprise cut file" in the Silhouette Studio program and I insert the images I needed in front of the card and in the interactive panel! Then I printed and cut the file.

In the front of the card I colored the hive with Copic markers, then I masked it  and using the "Honey Bee" stencil (I previously cut) I blended some shades of Distress inks to do the honeycomb.

In the bottom I stamped the sentiment.

Then I colored the interactive insert too and I assembled all the parts together  to create my "Pull for surprise" card.

It's very simple to do but if you want to see the details, go on the MAGENGO's blog, HERE,  to see the clear tutorial, Rana made for us.

I glued the "Pull for surprise" over the white and Kraft  base card, and over I put an other lovely bee and some sequins.

Fabulous Floral slimline card

Hi crafty friends!

Today I  share with you a new inspiration card suturing a new stamp from the March release by Alex Syberia Design !

I love all of them and trust me,  it's so difficult to choose one to work with, but at the end I picked out the lovely Fabulous Floral Slimline card panel and I had so much fun coloring it!

 To make the  card I used for the first time the "Foil Quill heat pen" by We R Memory Keepers in combination with the Silhouette Cameo and the result looks amazing!

Once I had my stamp foiled I simply watercolor it and then add some splatter of rose gold paint and at the end I add the little sentiment.

This is the digi stamp I used and you could find it and many others in the Alex Syberia Design Etsy shop. 

That's that for today too!

Before I go I want to say you I hope my card can inspire your creativity and thanks for stopping by and reading me.

Ciao ciao

It's time to take a break

Hi crafty friends"

Today to share with you a new Magengo inspiration card I hope you could appreciate.

In the last time I'm enjoying to play whit cut files, dies and digi stamps mixing some sets to create a scene and inspired by the new release set this is my work:

As a first thing I printed the rainbow on Neneeah paper and I colored with whit Copic markers.After I masked the rainbow and I blended the sky using Distress inks.

The hills are made with a Lawn Fawn die, and blended with Distress inks.

After, using the Silhouette software, I printed  and cut out all the elements I needed for my scene.

I colored everything with Copic markers and put them on the background,

At the end I framed the scene using a die cut by MFT.

Below some other pictures:

These are the Magengo products I used you could find in the Etsy shop.

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

Ciao Ciao

"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
