Hello, dear friends!

Cre8tive Hands and Melonheadz joined a few weeks ago and released 4 owls as freebies... This is a card I made using one of Cre8tive Hands freebies.

 
I colored the image with markers and then cut it out and placed it on a double green/white mat cut with a die (labels 1 or 2?).

I used Poligraphservis dp (a Russian company) plus some green cardstock.I used some heart green/yellow ribbon and made a bow. I used a few rhinestones to embellish the card.

Hello and happy to see you around... thanks for your visit!
As you know I was out of cardmaking for almost two years and came back a few weeks ago. I feel like there is no so many people visiting and encouraging each other like it was before, or is it only me feeling it? I lost a few followers as well, I heard that google is cleaning the people that has inactive blogs... but to tell you the truth, I would love to have more comments and friends visiting... So you are very welcome!!!
OK, enough... I hope you like the card I made:

I used a From the Heart digistamp, I colored it with markers and used a punch to cut two of the corners to make them round.

The background paper is Poligraphservis (a Russian paper!!!) and I used the same punch to make the round corners here too. I also used  lace, pink cardstock and a copic black marker to make the faux stitches.

Cute owl

Hello, dear friends!
How are you? For me, this has been a very busy week and just today can come around to blog a little bit about a card I made:

The image is "Tulip Owl" by 2 Cute Ink Stamps and I colored it with markers. To cut it I used a circle die and left the flower sticking out.

For the background I used a flowers embossing folder on the half of a white cardstock and purple cardstock to mat the circle image and the background. To embellish it I used three purple rhinestones.

I like to make cards that can be used for any opportunity like birthday, thank you, just because.... I think this one is one of them, I can put a sentiment when I will use it :)

Forget me not

Hello, dear friends!
How are you doing? Here I am again to show you another card I made.

The image is Cute Bee Flower by Bugaboo stamps. I colored it with Kuretake markers and cut it with a circle die living out the flower, that I colored as a "forget-me-not". I also used some glitter for the wings.

I used white cardstock and an embossing folder for the background, some dp scraps and green cardstock to mat the image and blue to punch some flowers. I used yellow rhinestones for the flowers to make them go together with the image.

I used a flower clear stamp and Memento black tuxedo ink. Then, I colored it with aquarelable pencils and cut and made the border with the flowers shape. To finish every flower I used a  rhinestone.

I used a green gingham ribbon, and I made a double bow to embellish the card.

Butterflies rainbow

Hello!
Hope you are doing well... Today I was playing a little bit with some scraps of paper and a butterfly punch and did three cards with that. I've got some inspiration on Pinterest.
This is one:

As I don't have a border embossing folder, I used a dotty one on the up and down edges. I also used a round corner punch for the corners of the background.
Some butterflies are glued with foami tape and some other have a little rhinestone on top.

And this is the version with black background:

Challenges:

Simon says: one layer

No matter how long the winter...

...Spring is sure to follow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, hello... are you like me? Do you wait the whole winter for spring?
I like winter and the white snow covering everything, but this week was the coldest for us here and my arms are hearting after shoveling snow during three days..... I am not complaining but I have enough winter this season :)

This is my new card:

The image is FTHstamps and I colored it with my markers, I don't know if I am improving with them, but surely like the intense colors.

I used some dp from my stash and also an embossing folder for the background. To embellish it I used three pink rhinestones.

Hello, dear friends!
I want to show you a card I made... I am coloring a lot and making cards, but I don't have the time to post them and blog about them, hahaha...

The image is a Sassy Studio Design (I've got as freebie a while ago), and I colored it with Kuretake manga markers. I cut it out and placed it on a pink oval mat.

The paper is from my stash, the same for the pink cardstock. To embellish it, I used some pink, purple and blue baker's twine and made a knot and a few rhinestones to give some sparkle.
