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...)

ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful, you've done an awesome job with the colouring and I really like the lovely soft green of the background. Great embossing too.

ReplyDeleteHey Ardilla,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. It was nice to see you.
Cool card. Love that embossing--so pretty.
Regarding your comment, I'm glad I could help clear up the 'follower exodus' confusion. Isn't it funny how we resort to our insecurities wondering what we might have done or said wrong. At least now you know it wasn't you.
Take care,
Lisa D.
Love your colouring of the blooms - so very pretty; the embossed background on the light green cardstock is perfect.
