Ready for spring

Hello, dear crafters and friends!!!
Since I came back after a long while I am trying to make two or three cards per week, that's why you see me active in the last three weeks :)
I want to show you a new card I made, and because of the picture you can see I am ready for spring (and as I am writing now it's snowing outside!)

The image is an old freebie at Becci's place "Blossom branch". I colored it with my new markers and I am so happy to keep practicing with them, I wish I would have bought more, but maybe later I can buy more colors and shades of every color, hihihi....... I used a pink cardstock to mat the image.

I used some light (or pastel) green cardstock for the background and used an embossing folder with vines and flower.

To embellish it I used some pink rhinestones, and a pink ribbon and made a bow. I think this card could be use for many different purposes (thank you, birthday, just because...)

Purple flowers

Hello!
I hope you are doing well...
I want to show you a new card I made.

I don't remember who is the artist that drew this image, I have it printed for long time, I wanted to try my new markers on it, still a long way to go, I have so much to learn and also to refine... anyways!

I used purple cardstock and used a dot embossing folder for the background.

As embellishments I used some purple rhinestones and a purple gingham ribbon and made a bow. I didn't put any sentiment yet, I like to create multipurpose cards, but I think this one looks a lot as a thank you card, doesn't it?

I am back

Hello, dear friends!
After almost two years of not making cards and not beeing around, I am back!!!
I never thought that when I say bye at the end of March 2014, it will take this long to be able to make cards again, to blog about them and visiting you (I will also start visiting)... I don't want to give details but life is more complicated that what we can think of.
So............ I would like to show you a card I made to start. As you can imagine I runned out of birthday cards so, to be prepared for many ocassions, this is mu first birthday card of this new season.

The image is a From the Heart Stamps and I colored it with markers!!!! Yes, I bought a few markers (Kureteke) to have a new start and feel motivated. I am not still good at coloring with them, I need to learn a lot and also to buy more shades of every color, but I am happy to show you what I did.

I used some striped and dotty papers from my stash and some dark red cardstock ( it is not as dark it looks, I don't know why it looks so dark in the pics).

The only added thing is some white glitter on the cupcake.

I hope you like it! :)
