My Lucky Charm - LF March inspiration week

Hello!!

It's the end of Lawn Fawn March inspiration week  but we will be back on April with another one and April is just artound the corner ;)

The star of the shw today is My Lucky Charm, a stamp set with all kinds of lucky charms with their coordinating dies :)

For my first project I made a tag using Maneki Neko (the lucky cat) and I tried a classic Japanese look with the distressed edges, the speckled cardstock and the cat stamped on it with just a bit of coloring. Well, I don't know if I achieved that look or not, but that was my inspiration :)



As a finishing touch I added some twine and a pair of jingle bells, that I thought match the cat theme nicely. I hope you like it!



My second project is a bright card with a background full of lucky charms (and some friendly chicks hee hee) and just a circle with an old sentiment that I find perfect for this new set.



I added a vellum circle behind the sentiment circle to soften the busy background around the sentiment.



Don't forget to take a look at the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration from the DT and a giveaway!

Oh! And we have the winners of the Crafty Friendship Blog Hop! Let's see... (drum roll)

Crafty Friendship Blog Hop!

Hola!!
Today I'm celebrating crafty friendship with a group of crafty friends with an amazing blog hop. 

If you're hopping from the sweet and talented Francesca, you're on the right place. If not, and you want to start from the beggining, go to Heidi's blog :)

Esther Rovira from Arcadia de Papel Blog is the special Honoree of this year's blog hop, because her support to many blogs, in Spain, USA, and some other places in the world. 
Also we chose this date because is her blog's anniversary!
And she happens to choose me as the special guest for the blog hop!! I can't tell you how happy and honored it makes me feel :)
Esther is spanish like me and she's very supportive and nice. She always put a smile on my face with her comments.

I want to dedicate this post to all my blog followers, all who take the time to leave those comments that always brighten my day and to all that don't comment but are also there. I'm so thankful for you, for your time and your kind words, for having me in your life.
I don't leave comments as frequently as I would like to do so I really appreciate the people that give their time as gifts supporting others with their comments and love. When Heidi sent me the list of participants in the blog hop I said: Gosh! I already know almost all these girls! And I know them because of their comments on my blog ot flickr and I tell you, I love all of them. They're super talented, sweet and supportive :)

How amazing is this crafty world, it's full of incredible people and I made a lot of friends from all around the world, people that I would never know if Internet would not exist.

So I'm totally in celebrarting crafty friendship, I already have my party hat on! Let's go, here's my card :)

I wanted to keep the card simple with a lot of wite space and a big pop of color. I just love that sentiment, it's from an old set but the font is super pretty, don't you think?
I stamped all the background with soft grey trees and colored the sky only inside the frame.




I removed the ink from the faces of these two furry friends so they look as you were seeing them from the back. So they are enjoying each other while looking to the horizont into the woods... It's also like a "you color my world" reference :) Yes, I'm loosing my mind lol



Anyway, I hope you like it!

Lawnscaping challenge #44: New technique

Happy Monday!!
Hi! Today is the second Monday of the month so... It's time for another Lawnscaping challenge! All you must do to enter this challenge is try a new technique when you make your project, is that fun!

I won't lie you, I had a hard time with this challenge, lol! I tried some new techniques that ended like a total mess, even one of my jeans ended all inked, and It's pigment ink!! Ooooops!

Finally, I decided to try something less original and I inked an embossing folder for my card. I know this is not new for most of you but I've never tried it and I love it! I used Wet Cement ink and the embossed stripes look deeper and cool. :)
Also, I'm starting to learn how to crochet so I crocheted a chain using Lawn Trimmings and added to my card. I fun when you can mix your different hobbies ;)
I love the color combo in this card, it's based on the colors from the stripe of cloth from Amy Tangerine, I started adding colors and layers and this card came up with lots of dimension!
