Para esta tarjeta use aserrin para simular la arena, porque no encontre la arena, jejejej pero me parece que se ve bien!! me gusto el efecto, pinte las nubes con distress ink, e imprimi la estampa digital en kraft paper, para darle efecto bronceado a la imagen.

For this card I used sawdust to simulate the sand, because I couldn’t find my sand, hehehehe but it seems pretty good!!! I like how it looks, I panted the clouds with distress ink, and printed the digi stamp in kraft paper, to have the tan look.

Reto # 27. Monocromatico celebrando a Papa



Hola amigas: aqui estamos con otro reto en Latinas en America, el reto de hoy esta dedicado a un ser muy especial, en mi caso lo es, mi Papi!! es un ser maravilloso, que aunque siempre tuvo que estar fuera de casa, tuvo que hacerlo porque estuvo trabajando para poder darnos todo lo que necesitabamos, por el soy lo que soy el dia de hoy, siempre me apoyo  y a estas alturas de mi vida lo sigue haciendo. Mi papa es el mejor Papa que me pudo haber tocado!! te quiero mucho Papi!!!!

Hello friends: here we are with another challenge  at Latinas en America, and today’s challenge is dedicated to a very special person, in my case he is, to my dad!! a wonderful human being, although he was always far away from home and he had to do it because he was working to give us everything we needed; because of him I’m the person who I am today, he has been and is very supportive,  at this point of my life he is still supportive!!! He is the best dad ever!!! I love you very much dad!!!

Pues para este reto elegi usar azul y blanco, aunque es monocromatico pues como que usar puros azules no me agradaba mucho, y creo que asi se ve bonita!!!  Y pues aqui esta mi tarjeta con ventana!!! que tal??

For this challenge I decided to used blue and white, I know is a monochromatic challenge but I did not like how it looked only with blue, and I think it looks beautiful like this! So, here is my window card!!

Y que creen? Betty de Simply Betty Stamps nos patrocina el dia de hoy!! siii, son un deleite sus estampas tanto digitales como las rubber y clear, pasen a visitarla a su tienda!!!  A mi me encanto Big Gift Lilly Digi  y decidi no colorear el digi, si no hacer “paper piercing”, imprimi el digi en cardstock negro para el cabello, beige para la piel, azul para el mono,  papel decorado para la pijama y el regalo, corte todos los pedacito y los pegue.

And guess what? Betty of Simply Betty Stamps is sponsoring us today!!! yes,  her digi's, rubber and clear stamps are just beautiful, stop by her store!!! I choose to use Big Gift Lilly Digi and I decided to no color her, instead I decided to do “paper piercing”, I printed the digi on black cardstock for the hair, beige for the skin, blue for the bow, pattern paper for the pajama and the gift, cut all the pieces and glue them together.
