More of Vanessa's Order

These are Vanessa's Thank You cards with her company logo inside. I picked up a lot of techniques from Cardmaker magazine. I think my favorite technique is the paper collage.   CARD 469

 




  This was an old Thank You piece that I was going to use a long time ago but never did and recently found. I thought it went perfectly with this card.  CARD 470
 






 CARD 471





  CARD 472








 I really need to figure out the settings on my camera. Not happy with the way some of these pix turned out. Some were too light and others too dark.   CARD 473












 This Angel Tilda came out perfectly with this card. Def. one of my favorites.  CARD 474








 This card was so much fun to make! I loved making this paper. I want to use this technique more often because I have so many scraps!   CARD 475





 This card is another favorite of mine. It was featured in Cardmaker as a way to incorporate the making paper out of scraps. I'm so glad I had all the materials needed so I could make a replica. The love the chocolate and pink color scheme.  CARD 476









 CARD 477







 Another favorite of mine. This one took a very long time to make but I think it was well worth it.  CARD 478

Non-Magnolia Christmas Cards for Ecuador

These last two Christmas Cards are for my uncle Hugo and my uncle Ruben in Riobamba. My dad liked these very much. They both have the Nativity scene in them.

CARD 451






CARD 452

Edwin and Tilda Celebrate the Holidays... in Ecuador!!

Here are more of my cards for my relatives in Ecuador. A lot of these are for my cousins. We have a big family down there. We couldn't send to everyone unfortunately.

CARD 442




This is Magnolia Stamp #3020 Cozy Tilda. I love coloring this stamp. The hearts at top are a bit difficult if you don't have a fine-tip point but I make up for it but cutting closely to the lines.

CARD 443





This is the first card I made for my relatives in Ecuador. I thought I was going to make all of them with Tilda with a Piglet because in Ecuador pigs are called chanchos in colloquial. And little piggies are called chanchitos. Native cuisine in Ecuador consists mostly of pork so I thought it would be cute to send this Tilda with the chanchito.

CARD 444





Finally, one of my favorite Tildas. This is the Angel Tilda I think? She's not on the site right now so I can't link back to her (or Tilda with piglet). But I really love the way this card came out. The ribbon is so beautiful and soft and I love the snowflakes. I sued Prismacolor Pencils to color this one and Prismacolor markets for the stars, wings, and headband.

CARD 445




Also, I'm trying out different sizes for my pix. I like the way the bigger pix look but I take so many pix that it might fill up too much space. Not sure yet what to do.
