2 Cute Ink Challenge # 131 - Father's Day.

It's all about Fathers here at 2 Cute Ink Challenges!

 

We want to celebrate them and we ask you to show us your cards for Father's Day!

 

As you know, here in Italy Father's Day is in March so it was a bit "out of season" for me but the image is so cute that it's been very easy to make my card!

 

This is the featured digi stamp:

Alligator Hugs

 

 

Isn't is lovely?

It's available in 2 Cute Ink shop on Etsy.

 

This is my card:

 

I've found this patterned paper from an Italian manufacturer (Modascrap) and I think it's the perfect background for these two cute alligators!

 

My teamies have created stunning cards! If I had to choose one I'd really have problems!

 

I can't wait to see all your beautiful cards!

Not Just Cards Challenge # 21 - Anything Goes.

Good morning and welcome to a new Not Just Cards Challenge!

You may have noticed a few changes, a new look, new badges and the last challenge was Zoe's last challenge. She has sadly had to step down as owner due to a serious illness. We wish her all the best and hope she gets better soon.
 

As usual it's Anything Goes but challenges will now run monthly starting from June.

 

My DT project for June is this card:

 

 

I've had the pleasure to work with a new sponsor: RoseyHearts.

This cute gnome is Strawberry Pipkins. I used my Copics and a very old scrapbooking paper (I'm sorry, there's no name or brand on it). I've had this paper for ages and when I saw the image I immediately thought it was perfect for my card.

 

We have great sponsors this month so don't miss the chance to win one of our fab prizes!

 

If you entered last week, have a look here to see if you're a winner.

And don't forget to check this month's DT projects!

In detail:

 

And this is my card:

 

I decided to turn this Spring Chicken from Pickled Potpourri into a parrot.

I sincerely don't know if it can be similar to a parrot but I find it very elegant in green.

Papers are from Kaiserkraft and October Afternoon and the chicken now parrot is colored with Copics. The sentiment is from an old stamp from There She Goes.

 

We can't wait to see what you create with these colors!

Doves for a Wedding.

Good morning dear readers!

 

Today I'd like to show you one of my latest creations. I'd been thinking for a while to create something elegant suitable for a wedding, like Thank You tags, which could be easily added to favours.

 

A few days ago, while looking through my files, I came across a collection of images perfect for what I had in mind.

 

I created small Thank You tags:

 

 

and bigger Save the Date tags:

 

Graphics was purchased from Aimee Asher years ago and I don't think it's still available.

I decided to match the tags with a light blue cardtosck and a matching satin ribbon.

 

What do you think? Are they elegant?



C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 313 - Father's Day / Male.

Welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

 

This week we have a perfect theme for those who celebrate Father's Day in June (we have it in March): Father's Day or Male Cards, as you prefer.

 

I chose a lovely image, perfect for a man:

 

 

It's Mr. Fix It Car from Karen's Doodles, colored with Copics with papers from Peebles (Front Porch).

I had a great fun coloring this image! Those greens are one of my fav color combos!

 

 

Have a look here on the challenge blog: you'll find last week's winner and Top 3: I chose the Top 3 and well, it was hard to select just 3 cards!

Elegant Squid.

You know, I sometimes often fall in love with certain images and I feel the urge to create something with them.

 

This has recently happened with Squid Doodle from 2CuteInk:

 

 

The only "squid" I had in mind before seeing this one was Spongebob's friend...

I found "her" so elegant that I matched the digi with a girly paper from DCWV and added water bubbles with rhinestones, to make it even mre girly.

I particularly love the flower on her headband!

 

This squid as well as many other summer-related images with super-cute animals can be found here in 2CuteInk Etsy shop!
