Birthday cake

Hello!
I would like to show you a new card I made:

The image is by SKdigis that I colored with Koh-i-noor watercolor pencils. I cut it out and placed it with foamy tape on a red circle mat. The background is done with a happy birthday embossing folder on blue cardstock. To embellish it I made a few pennants and glue them with foamy tape on a red twine with some knots to make it look real and dimensional. I also added a sentiment (free vector).

Challenges:

Hello and happy Sunday!
I would like to show you a new card I made, I ended with the birthdays one for now and I made a few valentines:

The image is by SKdigis and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a purple cardstock mat. I cut the image and the mat with Lables1 Spellbinders.

I used ALT paper for "heart" collection, in purple and yellow. I used purple cardstock to mat everything.

To embellish it I used a hearted ribbon in lilac, purple and yellow and made a bow. I used heart shaped yellow rhinestones. Finally a red paper rose to finish the layout. I hope you like it!

Penguin in blue

Hello and happy Saturday!!! It's me again...
When I thought I finished with Christmas cards, one friend of mine asked me to do for her a few more Christmas cards.
The thing is, here where I live, just few people celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, but New Year is a big celebration and they use the same symbols that we use for Christmas. And for some, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. In the next days I 'll make some cards and show you... they will be simple and not to fancy as I have to rush (LOL).
This is the second one (you can see the first one here):

The image is SKdigis Penguin (freebie for November) and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a red mat. I used glitter for the top of the hat and the snow.

 I used light blue cardstock and Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I cut the corners with a round punch.

I used blue and red Christmas bakers twine (Doodlebug) to embellish it and also I punched a snowflake, a daisy (yes, it´s a flower) and a red rhinestone and built it with foam tape to give dimension to the snowlfake in the corner of the image.

A penguin card

Hello!
I am back after a few days of absence... I wasn't inspired and didn´t want to craft, don´t know why, but today I have something to show you:

The cute image is by SKdigis, Chilly the penguin,  and it was a freebie last month for the ones that linked cards on the FANtastic linking party, hopefuly next year will be back :) I colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a green cardstock mat and glittered the snow and the top of the hat.

I didn´t use dp, only white cardstock and Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. A little bit more of green cardstock for the mats.

The only embellishment is a pewter snowflake brad on a green penant. Hope you like it!

I can tell you this card fits with the weather we are having here, since this morning we are having snow and the T° dropped dramatically... this little fellow would be very happy around :)

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

I {heart} sketches: sketch #45
Add a little dazzle: embossing
Crafting by design: AG/ penguins
