Picture Inspiration at Catch the Bug

Hello and good Saturday!
Today it's my last post as Guest Designer for Catch the Bug challenge. I want to thank to Bugaboo and Tammy Miller for giving me the opportunity to make a project every week for the last three months. It was fun!!!
This week's challenge is a picture inspired and this is my card:

This is the picture to inspire us:

The digistamp is Flower Bird and I colored it with alcohol based markers.

For the background I used light yellow cardstock and dots embossing folder (cuttlebug).

To embellish it I used Cappuccino baker's twine (the twinery), I cut a swirl (Sizzix) on kraft cardstock and some leaves (Sizzix) on green cardstock and then I glued some yellow fabric flowers.

I hope you like it and come to play with us this week.

Bingo Challenge at Catch the Bug

Hello and happy Saturday!
This week our challenge at Catch the Bug is a Bingo, you have to choose one of the lines, in any direction. I chose Bugaboo image - Tag - Die Cuts. This is my tag:

The image is Lion love and I colored it with alcohol based markers. I cut it with Nestabilities Labels 2 and did the same for the two color cardstocks (yellow and orange).

I used yellow and orange ribbon to finish the tag. I think this tag could be used as a bookmark.

I hope you liked this little tag and feel inspired to join us this week.

Challenges:

Recipe challenge at Catch the Bug

Hello and happy Saturday!

This week we have a recipe challenge at Catch the Bug: 1 image, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments. This is the card I made:

I used Kidz Pug and colored it with Kurecolor and Bic alcohol based markers. I cut it out. I love animals and most of my cards have one on it... I have a dog, her name is Chicky and is a Cocker Spaniel. The one in this card doesn't look like her, but I love the image, it makes me think of me and my dog.

I used some scraps patterned papers in sky blue and pink colors. I used an oval and a circle die to cut them. I placed the girl sitting on top of the circle. for the background I used a pink cardstock base.

To embellish the card I used a blue flower ribbon/lace, three little butterflies and three rhinestones.

I hope you like it, feel inspire and come to play in our challenge this week.

Color challenge at Catch the Bug

Hello!
I am late to show this card. My mom's computer crashed badly yesterday, something burned inside (because the smell) and it is totally dead and we can't, for now, recover the files inside :(   We are using an old computer now, it is very slow and sometimes freezes, so I hope to be able to post this new card:

Our challenge this week is a color challenge (see picture). Purples and green!!!!!! I really like this color combo, and you?

I used  Hedgehog Flower and colored it with Kurecolor and Bic markers- I cut it with a circle die (Sizzix) and used the same shape for the purple mat. (I am not really happy how it looks).

I used some patterned paper from my mom's stash and purple cardstock.

To embellish it I used purple baker's twine and a lilac heart button.

I hope you like it and feel inspired to play with us this week.

Bingo challenge at Catch the Bug

Hello!
Sorry I am late to show this card for this week's challenge at Catch the Bug. Yesterday we had a musical show in our school and I was part of it and with the practices and the presentation I was very busy and just now I have time!!!
I want to show you this card I made with the Bingo:

I used Brat Cupcake Wagon and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I think I am improving in my coloring, I feel happy with this one.

I cut it with a circle die (Sizzix) and the same for the mat.

The patterned papers are from my mom's stash and I used a combination of purple ones.

To embellish it I used three pearls and I did faux stitches with a purple marker.

This is the bingo chart for this week. I did the line Bugaboo Image - Pearl - Birthday.
I hope you like it and come to play with us this week.

New Challenge at Catch the Bug

Hello!
Today I am not showing you a card, today I am showing you a "desk organizer", this week at Catch the Bug our theme is  Recycle, Upcycle or use Household item.

I used the digi "Puppy pile" and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a circle die (Sizzix) and made the same for the green cardstock mat.

I was in need of just one pice of organizer, I have many different container on my desk, but they were all spread around. To build the organizer, I used five cans, (different sizes) and a cardboard cilinder. I used two different shades of gree paper to wrap every piece and with a hot glue gun I glued them together on a cardstock base. To embellish the organizer I used scrap paper and a butterfly punch.

I hope you like it and feel inspire to recycle, upcycle, re-use something and come and play with us.

Anything goes at Catch the Bug

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today a new challenge is starting at Catch the Bug and the theme is ANYTHING GOES, a favorite, right? This is my card for this week as GDT:

The image is Kidz Punky Topper and I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I feel very happy with the coloring. I am improving at using the brush and I can see this image looks better than others I did before :)

I cut it with a circle die (Sizzix) and did the same with the dark pink (or fuchsia) cardstock for the mat. I also did a bigger one with a pink cardstock and used a dott embossing folder (sizzix).  The idea for the LO it's based on a sketch I saw in a blog (Paper Craft Crew Challenge #187), but reinvented it.

I used Poligrphiservis patterned paper for the lower part and I left the white cardstock base for the upper part of the card. As embellishment I used pink ribbon and made a bow (I feel so happy that I learn how to do the bows myself!).

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to play this week with us.

Since we moved to our house in the fall, we were adopted by a cat, we call her Mishi.  My mom didn't like cats before (now she really likes Mishi), that's why Mishi is not allowed at home, we builded a house outside in our yard for her (the cat, not my mom); now the cat is pregnant and I really hope to have as pet one of the kittens... Well, that's why I chose this image today. Here is a pic of Mishi, our lucky cat:

Bright and Cheery challenge at Catch the Bug blog

Hello!
Today I want to show you a card I made as GDT for Catch the Bug Challenge this week. The theme is BRIGHT AND CHEERY. And this is my card:

I colored Edward Elephant - Flower with alcohol based markers (Kuretake) and cut it with an oval scallop die (Sizzix), then I distressed the borders with a green ink pad.

I choose green and yellow combo as base for my project. I made my own background with acuarelle paints... I love this technique. I just discovered it a few weeks ago and I am preparing a few more backgrounds :)

The sentiments (Birthday Wishes) is from a clear stamp set, I used a glue pad for embossing and golden powder to do it. I am learning to use the embossing powders with stamps. I used green and yellow ribbon, made a double bow to embellish the card.

I hope you like my card and come to play with us at Catch the Bug this week.

Anything Goes at Catch the Bug (Bugaboo challenge) GDT card

Hello!
Finally the day is here, today is my debut as GDT for Bugaboo stamps at Catch the Bug challenge blog. Every first Saturday of the month the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

... and this is my card:

I colored the digistamp My little sock monkey with flower with alcohol based markers (I am also learning this).I used a pink cardstock mat for the image.

I made my own background, I am learning watercolor technique for background and I am so excited, because you can choose the colors and make the background to work for you :) I used more pink cardstock to mat the background.

The sentiment is from a set of clear stamps, I used a pink ink and pink embossing powder for it. I am loving using the embossing powder now that I learned how to do it.

The only embellishment is a pink ribbon and I made the bow. I also learned how to make them, in the past, my mom always helped me, but finally I can do it!

Hope you like the card and come to play with us this week.
