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:

Guest Designer for Cre8tive Hands Friends Challenge #1

Hello!

First of all, I want to thank Michelle (owner of Cre8tive Hands Friends) for inviting me to be a Guest Designer in the first Challenge!!!!!!
This is the card I made:

I used a freebie that Michelle has offered at Cre8tive Hands and colored it with markers. I used a punch to round the corners, I also did the same with the pink cardstock mat.

I m learning with my mom and some video tutorials on how to make backgrounds with aquarelles and distressed inks. For the background I used white cardstock for watercolor and used 2 different shades of pink aquarelles and then I made some stains with the darker pink and a metallized pink aquarelle.
I stamped the sentiment from a clear stamp set with pink or fuchsia ink and used the same punch to round the corners. To embellish it I used a pink ribbon and some pink rhinestones.
