I Thought of You...Card

Hello!
I'm here with my second card of the week!
This was so much fun to make...
Creating a little scenery on my cards is my favourite thing to do!!
Isn't this little birdie adorable?
The picture doesn't show really well but, 
I have spritzed some grey ink on the "moon" to give it some colour.



Oi gente!
Estou aqui com o meu segundo cartao da semana.
Adorei fazer este aqui...gosto muito de criar cenarios nos meus cartoes.
Acho que e' a coisa que mais gosto de fazer com as minhas criacoes.
Voces nao acham esse passarinho a coisa mais fofa?
A foto nao mostra muito bem mas,
eu esborrifei tinta cinza na 'lua' para dar uma cor a ela.

 The card picture shows a bright blue, but in real life it's more of a green-blue.
All the blues and greys were pretty much based on the Mood Board by WPlus9 Challenge.

It was very sunny this morning when I was taking the pics....




Materials Used:
Stamps from WPlus9, Lawn Fawn
Dies from Sizzix
Inks from Rangers
Spritzer from Stampin'Up
Markers from Stampin'Up
Patterned Papers and Cardstocks from SSS Card Kit


My challenges are:

I hope that you liked my cards this week!
Have a blessed week.

Hello You Card

Hello Friends!!
I've been very busy with my work lately and I am finding it quite hard
to find the time to craft... : (
I know....we all have busy lives!..
Somehow, I managed to make my cards for this week.
My first card is this one using the perfect pearls on the background.
I didn't want the card to look too dark
so, I decided to show only part of the dotty background.
I've added a bit of dimension to the cream panels and
to the trees as well.
I love my dimensional adhesives!
For my card base, I've used craft cardstock.
I think any card looks great with craft cardstock base, don't you?
I hope you like it.



Ola pessoal!!
Eu ando meio atolada de trabalho esses dias e estou achando dificil encontrar
tempo para brincar com os meus papeis.... : (
Eu sei...todos temos vidas corridas!...
Mas...consegui terminar os meus cartoes desta semana! 
Esse meu primeiro teve o background (fundo) dele feito com 'perfect pearls'.
Tem um video que explica a tecnica no link da PTI no final deste post.
E' um video em ingles,mas se voce tiver alguma duvida, terei o maior prazer em ajudar : )

Nao queria que o cartao ficasse muito escuro, entao decidi expor somente parte do
background de bolinhas.
Coloquei dimensao nos paineis e nas arvores.
Adoro os adesivos dimensionais!
A base do cartao foi feita com cartao de cor craft (natural)
Eu acho que qualquer cartao fica legal com essa cor como base, nao acham?
Espero que gostem.

The tree with the heart looks white in the photo, but it's actually light-blue.
I guess I didn't get the best light for my photos today....sorry about that.


On the inside...a little heart.
 Can you tell I love hearts?....

Materials used:
Stamps from PTI,Lawn Fawn

Flying By To Say Hi Card

Hi there,
Because my theme this week is cityscape,
I have my second card here for you.
My card was inspired by the colourful houses in Murano-Italy.

I have heat embossed the house images and then coloured it  with my
Stampin'Up markers.
Gotta love those markers...
they got the prettiest colours you can think of!
This stamp set from Lawn Fawn (Flying By) was a gift
If you are in the UK check them out,
they have a great selection of hard to get stamps!



Ola!

estou postando aqui o meu segundo cartao .
A inspiracao foram as casa coloridas de Murano na Italia.

Desta vez, eu carimbei a imagem de cidade com embossing ink e depois
passei embossing powder branca.
Em seguida, pintei com as canetinhas da Stampin'Up.
As cores dessas canetinhas sao do outro mundo!!Lindas!!
Esse carimbo de aviaozinho de papel, foi um presente da querida Louise do Make The Day Special.
Se voce mora em UK,
vale a pena checar o shop dela,pois tem uma variedade de carimbos que sao
dificeis de achar por aqui!

.
 Again, the embossed dies cut alphas are on the inside of the card.

Hello Friends!
I hope that you are enjoying this sunny weekend!

My card today was made using those cute houses from Claudine Hellmuth's stamp set.

Have all her stamps..... : )
And she is my inspiration for this card.

O meu cartao de hoje foi feito com esses carimbos fofos de casinhas da Claudine Hellmuth.
Adoro os carimbos dela!!
Coleciono todos eles... : )



 I've used the embossing die cut alphas on the inside of the card.

I like it : )

Thank You For Your Kindness Card

Hello, hello!!
My last card for today.
I have this tea cup stamp set from PTI for quite a while and thought
it was perfect for this card.
Again, I've use the watercoloring over embossed images technique on the background.
It's a great way of making your own patterned paper with stamps
that you already have.



Hello,hello!!
Meu terceiro cartao desta semana.
Tenho esse carimbo de xicaras faz um tempinho e achei que seria perfeito
para este cartao.
Usei a tecnica de aquarela sobre a imagem carimbada com embossing powder
para o fundo.
E' uma maneira excelente de fazer o seu proprio papel decorado
usando os carimbos que voce ja' possui.





Materials used:
Stamps from PTI and WPlus9
Card Stock from Stampin'up
Inks from Stampin'Up


With this card I am participating on the following great challenges:

Find Your Happy Every Day Card

  Hello crafty friends!
Here's my second card.
Again, flowers....lots of flowers!!
The embossing and watercoloring technique was fun to do.
(check the video from PTI in the link @ the end of this post)
I don't own one of those watercoloring pens so, I used paint brushes from Claudine Hellmuth.
It's a messy job, 
but if you don't mind a little bit of inky mess
you'll love to try this one!



Ola amigas criativas!
Aqui esta' o meu segundo cartao de hoje.
Flores....muitas flores!!
Essa tecnica de embossing/aquarela foi divertidissima.
Eu nao tenho uma daquelas super canetas de aquarela , entao usei o meu velho pincel.
Faz uma sujeira danada,
mas se voce nao se importa de um pouco de tinta espalhada pela sua mesa
voce vai gostar desta tecnica.
(Tem um video explicativo no link da PTI no final deste post)

Happy Birthday Card For My Son

Hello friends!
Can you believe we had snow today here in London?
I know, it's crazy!
Well...a pretty busy day too...
lots of work deadlines and
I even managed (somehow!) to make a birthday card for my son!
We celebrated in a brazilian restaurant he loves 
and it was sooo good to eat some of our favourite food in the whole wide world!!
Now I am here thinking how am I going to burn all these calories tomorrow : (  

So here's my card.
I've used the stamp collage technique.
It is so much fun to mix various stamps to create a background!
You start to look at stamps in a different way....




Ola amigas!
Voces acreditam que nevou hoje aqui em Londres?
Loucura nao?
nao me lembro de ter passado tanto frio assim em toda minha vida.
Foi um dia super corrido tambem...
muitos prazos de entrega de trabalho 
e mesmo assim, eu ainda consegui fazer este cartao de aniversario para o meu filho!
Fomos celebrar num restaurante brasileiro e degustamos a melhor comida deste mundo!!
Coxinha, pastel e pao de queijo!
Yumm

Aqui esta' o cartao do aniversariante de hoje.
Usei a tecnica de colagem com carimbos.
Super legal misturar varios carimbos para criar uma estampa!
Faz a gente olhar para eles de uma forma diferente....


 A bit of glossy accents to highlight the stamped stars.
