Easter Eggs

Hello everyone! It's Maria Pilar here with an Easter card

I used these easter eggs from the store to make a green card with 3 windows, stuck on top of a white cardboard: Easter/Dino Egg, Easter Egg and Egg with Feet.
I wanted to represent the development of "growth" of the eggs. Therefore, the last one is the one with feet. And the message, in this story, could not be other than "Hello vertical".
All are colored with copics and I wanted to give them dimension with Glossy Accents. You can see it in this closest image.

Anything is possible by Maria Pilar

Hi crafties! Maria Pilar here wishing you a Happy New Year. This is my first post of 2020 and I am very excited about all the good things that its 366 days will surely bring to all of us.

This year have some news and one of them is that we will use different techniques every month. In January I propose you this CAS card as inspiration.

On a watercolor paper I stamped with the Stazon Walnut Stain ink both the stamps I used the Giraffe Hug and the sentiment Anything Possible.

The giraffe has its spots colored with Copics and the heart over them. It is the touch of color that stands out on the CAS card.

I pasted this layer over the white card base using double sided foam tape to give more dimension after stretching the edges with scissors.
You can see more details in my blog by clicking HERE.

The other news is that you can get $5 in your store credit account. To do this, you only have to make a card with the category that is promoted that month and the proposed technique that Vicky Briggs has already indicated in another post for the next three months.

Merry Christmas with Maria Pilar

Hello dear friends! Maria Pilar here sharing with you this card at Christmas. So, I wish you all a very happy day full of love.

First of all, I embossed the Snowflake Background stamp with iridescent powders on white cardboard.

Then I stamped on it the Buck and Doe set of stamps placing them to create a Christmas scene.

I die cut this grid background also in white cardboard and I glued with double-sided foam tape, cutting out some lines so that the reindeer's looked good.

In the other hand, I stamped the Christmas Tree Coffee with Stazon ink and placed it on the top of the card.

I die cut a tag for Color of winter sentiment also glued with double-sided foam tape.

You still have a few days left to take advantage of the Crackerbox&SuzyStamps great promotions for December.

Witch's hat by Maria Pilar

We continue with the world of witches at Crackerbox & SuzyStamps and for today I have chosen the Witch's hat with flowers.

The base of the card is black cardboard. I made the background with gelatos and with the spider web die cut, I added a stenciled ghost. This beautiful With's hat is colored with Copics. You see that purple predominates in my card because is one of the colors used for the whole theme of witches, halloween, ...

The sentiment is stamped with Stazon on a baby wipe that I have been using in previous works to clean inks. Everything can be used. Don't throw anything. LOL

The decoration is finished with several sequins glued by the card.
