She Celebrates Life

Hi Friends,

I just got from a crop birthday of one of my friends.  We had a great time laughing and making cards, What better way to spend a day with your friends?  

This is the card I made my friend.  The image is the digital stamp Rosie Frames #2 from Dilli Beans Stamps.  I discovered this store yesterday browsing blogs and was instantly in love with this framed girls.

To paint it I used distress inks, watercolor pencils, India ink and a fine line pen.

I didn't use any embellishment on the card since I love so much the image I wanted it to stand alone.  Here you have a full view of the card.  For sure, I will be buying these girls since I love them and they looks perfect for mixed media projects.

Enjoy what's left of your Sunday.  I am going to take a little nap and then prepare my thing for a new week full of challenges and not so fun things to do ;)

HALF CIRCLE CHRISTMAS TREES

Hi!!

Today that I am free at home to make whatever I like to do and my daddy is cooking for us ;)  This is a wonderful day!!!!

Have I told you I am enjoying the Holidays Card Boot-camp of Jennifer and Kristina!!  They are giving me tons of ideas to incorporate into my cards.  Like this Christmas trees made with a half circle.  

I also used an embossing folder with the letter press technique.  For the snow, I used Tim Holtz clear rock candy crackle paint and after it was dry I added some tumble glass ink to create some shadows.

Today I am working on other cards so soon I will be showing them.

Have a great day!!!

DYSU # 40 BROWN

Hola!!  Llegó una nueva semana con un Nuevo reto en DYSU?  En algunas partes del mundo el clima ya esta cambiando, aquí en Puerto Rico aun se siente calor, aunque ya por las mañanas se esta sintiendo más fresco el ambiente.  Eso significa que ya el otoño esta por aquí, y aunque no necesariamente queremos que hagas una tarjeta con ese tema, si queremos que uses el color MARRON en tu tarjeta o creación de esta semana.

Hi everyone and welcome back to a new challenge at Do You Stack Up?! In many areas, the weather is starting to turn a little chilly and the leaves are changing. The scent of autumn is in the air and with this wonderful season upon us we begin to think of the colors of the season. This week, while you don't necessarily need to make an autumn themed project, we would like to see you use the color Brown.

	Shelly’s Images Winner’s Choice of 3 Digis
	Through the Craftroom Door 1 year PDF subscription

Aquí les muestro la tarjetita que preparé para el reto de esta semana.  Para mi fué un verdadero reto pues utilizar imágenes playeras con negro pues como que no estaba en mi listado de cosas posibles.  Sin embargo, cuando abrimos nuestras mentes a nuevas posibilidades todo se puede hacer.  El resultado me gustó, traté de simular una atardecer en la playa.  Espero que les guste tanto como a mi!!

Here is my card for this week challenge.  This one was not easy since working beach images in black was not in my list of possible things to do.  Still, when we open our minds and try to do new things anything is possible.  I tried to capture the beach at dawn.  I love the results and hope you do too!!

Espero que tengan un lindo día! / Hope you have a wonderful day!

Besitos,
Joan

DYSU #30 Online July 28th "Orange, Yellow and Brown"

Hola chicas,

Hoy mi entrada va a ser en ingles porque estoy un poco corta de tiempo así que pido mis disculpas.

Hi,

It’s another Thursday which means a new Challenge here at Do You Stack Up?.  Today is all about Yellow Orange and brown.  Create any project using these colors and link it to our blog.

Our great sponsor’s for this week challenge are:

Gingerloft

Stitchy Bear

Strech 'n Bubbles

I worked with a great image from Gingerloft named Fishing Kids.  I love so much this image because while I was debating on what to do with it I instantly remembered a quote from Ella Fitzgerald. 

 And it’s because reaching our dreams is like going fishing.  You have to make your part with the bait but then sit still, prevail and let God, nature and your surroundings do the rest.  And while in this process what better than to have a friend or family (or both) by your side fishing for their own dreams but at the same time waiting with you in the process?

For this card I used my Copics for the dresses and sentiment.  Flower soft and polymer clay flowers for the hats.  For the background I used my distress inks.

Hope you like it as much as I do.  See you next week!!

SUMMER CAMP WK 2 TECNIQUE

La tarjetita que hice practicando la técnica que nos enseñó ayer Jennifer.  Súper divertida!  Me encanta porque definitivamente abre un mundo de posibilidades para todos mis stamps.  Espero que les guste!

Here is the card I made to practice the technique that Jennifer posted this week.  I love it since it gives me a lot of possibilities to use my stamps.  Hope you like it!

Que tengan buen día  /  Have a great day!!

HI!! SCC DAY 2 - A CARD SET

El video de Jennifer de ayer me inspiró a crear este set de tarjetitas. Rara vez uso acetato en mis tarjetas pero en verdad que me encanta el efecto del mismo. Aparte de que puedes decorar el interior de la tarjeta y usarlo como parte del exterior.

Para la ventana usé dos moldes de los Nestabilities y mi Big Shot. Para lograr el marco lo mejor es tener el panel de imán que mantiene los moldes en su lugar mientras cortas y haces el repujado.

Espero que les guste!! Hoy tengo nuevas ideas así que ya veremos que sale de todo esto.

Jennifer’s video from yesterday post inspired me to create this mini card set. I hardly do a cut out with a transparent layer but I really love the results. The up side is that you can decorate the inside of the card and use it as part of the front. To make the window I used two Nestabilities dies and my Big Shot. The better way to make the frame with your Nesties is to use the magnetic panel which keeps the dies in place while you die cut and emboss the piece.

I hope you like it! Today I have new ideas so let’s see what I can create with them.

Que tengan un buen día! / Have a great day!
