Rainbows and Sunshine

Hello CDD Friends I hope you enjoyed the last release! Waleska here with a very fun project for you! with the cute little umbrellas from the Rainbows and Sunshine set! 

For this project I did a lot of paper piecing and hand cutting which I love doing! I wanted to have all the umbrellas in different colors so I stamped the different umbrellas in beautiful Doodlebug cardstock to give the umbrellas different patterns, after that I cut only the umbrellas and color with markers some details of them.  I stamped the umbrellas all over the front part of the card and glue the pieces, I added sequins in different colors and use the same doodlebugs paper for the card base!  I felt the front part of the card had a lot so I stamped the sentiment in the inside of the card.

                                    

This is another way you can use the paper scraps you have around! I hope you give this idea a try!!

Graduation Congrats/Oxide Inks with Desert Storm Cardstock/Oxide Inks

Hello Friends and Welcome to another inspiration card for the Always Fun Challenge blog!!! The theme for this week is "Graduation"and I went for a non traditional Graduation card with a Congrats sentiment.

CARD DETAILS: For the card today I used Nina Desert Storm Cardstock and a stencil I made with my Silhouette Cameo.  Since I have been obsessed with Oxide Inks I use them for a very colorful card in colors Broken China, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick for the sentiment I did an inlay technique I learned with the always Fabulous Laura Bassen... I stack 5 congrats dies to create the dimension and added clear sequins.  

                                 

I hope you can join us on the Always Fun Challenges blog... there you can find inspiration every Monday for the different Challenges and have fun with us!

Hope you have a great day!

Hooray.. You Did It!/Graduation Card

Hello Friends and Welcome to another inspiration card for the Always Fun Challenge blog!!! The theme for this week is "Graduation"and I went for a male graduation card with a very fun Sentiment.

CARD DETAILS:

I noticed that since I tried Oxide Inks they are my go to inks for blending, because they blend so effortless, beautifully and the effects they make.   I blended Oxide ink colors Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio and Faded Jeans and add some flicks of water with my distress sprayer. I die cut my blended piece with one of my new Gina Marie dies which I love.  The cute bear is from the Page Huggers from Mama Elephant,  this set has so many accesories, you can use this cute critters for many occasions, this kind of  sets are a MUST have because there are many uses for them!

I hope you can be inspired and play along with us at Always Fun Challenges blog.

Have a Wonderful day!

Lawn Fawn is Amazing at creating very sweet images to make us go Crazy about their stamps.

CARD DETAILS: 

For this card I used my favorite combination of Oxide Inks Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet and Broken China I wanted to create the illusion of bubbles with the color but I think I used to much Violet.  I die cut different sizes of circles to fit the cute elephants and mouse and to fill the white space in the card I stamped the little cake and heart from the set in the same oxide ink colors. With Black Versafine I stamp the Wish Big sentiment. I love the vibrant colors you get with oxide inks

Dream Big

Hello Craftin Desert Divas Fans! Waleska here to share with

you a very Dreamy card! with my favorite little girl!

And two complementary colors that look great together.

For this one I used the Inside Scalloped Circle dies in different

sizes to create some focal points in my card and color the 

outside part of the circle with a red marker and the inside part 

with Merman ink.   I color the sheep and clouds with a grey

 marker to give kind of a fluffy feel!  I added some touches of 

Stickles to the girl pijamas and added sequins in two 

different colors.

I hope you can be inspired to use complementary colors in 

your cards, you can use a Color Wheel for that!

Hello Friends it is time for another...

The beautiful inspiration has some light colors

that inspire me to create this card!

I did some smooshing on the card base with colors 

ballet slippers from Lawn Fawn, Lilac Lane from Umbrella

Crafts and Tumbled Glass distress ink.

I used the flower from Thankful by Julie with

gold embossing powder on lilac and light blue cardstock

I finally die cut the Beyoutiful sentiment and added 

some touches here and there of gold embossing powder.

As you can see I love the Challenges at the Ellen Hutson

 very unique products, #2 the BEST prize from all and #3 they

Dry Embossing Technique

Hello Friends this week at the Always Fun Challenges

the theme is "Dry Embossing"

I created this card with a technique I learned from the

Awesome Jennifer Mcguire Link to her video

"Dry embossing with Die Cuts"

I used a very old Spellbinder Die cut for the technique

and added a little color with blue sparkle washi tape and

a stripe of green cardstock

The stamp sets are from My Favorite Things:

Penguins in Paradise

Label Maker Sentiments.

I hope you can join us and have fun!

Nautical Cards

Hello Friends!! I have been very Nautical this days with the

new Sunny Studio Stamps release with lots of Pirates,

Mermaids and Sea animals! Today I wanted to share a set

of 3 cards I made inspired on a card I made for my sweet 

daughter Leah and of course I needed to make one for my

boy Ian too.... if not I get in trouble!!!

All this cards are 7.5 x 4.25 inches.

For the first card I used the Pirate Pals stamp set with the word

AHOY that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo, my idea was to 

create a little scene inside the "O", for the background I did 

some dark blue stripes... I added the sentiment

 "You Are a Treasure". (This was for my boy)

For my next card I used the Magical Mermaids and I wanted to 

create the feel of  the mermaids peeking on the Ship windows... 

for more details on this card you can visit the 

Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog

where I show how to create the woodgrain background.

For my last card I wanted to create a night scene with the 

Pirate Pals on the beach, I created the background with

Oxide inks in colors Faded Jeans and Broken China.

This set was so much fun to make!

I have to admit that I love this new Sunny Studio release!

Hugs,

Waleska

Love Puffin

Hello Friends!! a couple of weeks ago I won a $50 prize

at the ClassRoom at Ellen Hutson blog and with 

that prize I bought this cutie!!! it is a small set from Avery Elle

My card today is for the Challenge #5

For a Female/Mum at Always Fun Challenges

To tell you the truth I did not know what this animal 

was... so of course I googled it... and they are the

cutest little animals ( I totally thought they were not

real)   hahaha

I used Distress Oxide inks for the background in colors

Peeled Paint and Broken China, and to tell you the truth

I am anxiously awaiting for more oxide ink colors,

they blend so well I just looooove them!

For the rest of the scene I added some little elements from

the set! The tree trunk is a die you can find at the 

Craftin Desert Divas Shop it is called "Scene Builder Dies"

I added clear embossing powder to the puffins and the

tree trunk and they look awesome, if you want to get a 

more realistic look!

I love this little set! totally worth it!

Hugs
