Rainbow birthday

Hi!
This is a CAS card I made today, I saw some cards like this on Pinterest, of course, this is one is different but I like it! (if you click in the word Pinterest, you'll see my inspiration)

I use my watercolors to make the background, then use the Happy Birthday stamp with Memento tuxedo black ink pad. Placed it on a black cardstock mat and card is finished!

Kraft Stars

Hello!
Today I would like to share with you a very simple card I made, I found some inspiration on Pinterest, I liked a few cards made with Kraft paper/cardstock on white background...  (if you click in the words Pinterest, kraft paper, cardstock on and white background, you'll see my inspiration. This is my take:

I love stars in Christmas, stars are so important for Christmas!!!! I used Kraft paper and a star punch. I used the positive and the negative shapes. I used some rustic thread (don't know the name in English) to hang the stars and used some foamy tape to anchor them to the background. I finally added a sentiment (free on-line vector)... I had to cover a mistake I made when I tried to stamp the sentiment and didn't look good at all!
I hope to do better with Kraft on white in future, but for being first time it's not that bad either!

Bloom where you are planted

Hello!
Today I want to show you a CAS and quick card I made to say bye to some dear friends that are leaving. I know they will be very fruitful wherever they are!

I used Sweet November Garden Gnome Myra rubber stamp, I inked it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. Second time I used this cutie!!!   The stamp is big, so I only used some red cardstock for the mat. I had the sentiment kept in my computer, (sorry, don't remember where I've got it). To embellish I faux stitched around the image and the sentiment with Triplus fine-liner marker Staedtler, I also used some paper flowers and with green twine I made a bow for its center.
I hope you like it.

Jingle Bells and Stars

Hello, dear friends!
I am preparing my Christmas cards, and today I have a new one to show you.

The image is by Bugaboo and colored with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I used a punch to round the corners in the image and the green mat. I used some patterned paper from my stash, the same golden stars on green and red backgrounds. To embellish the card I used a wide red Christmas ribbon with stars, a very thin red ribbon. I also used three bells and tide them with a bow and glue three golden stars.

I hope you like my card!

Blue and silver

Hello, my friends!
I would like to share with you a couple of images of a Christmas card I just made...

I think the image is from A Day for Daisies, an old freebie. I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Spellbinders label die and used a bigger one for the blue cardstock mat. I also used a silver ribbon and three silver snowflakes. I think it can use some glitter too... maybe I will add some! The back papers are from my stash, the silver one I've got in an exchange and the blue one is Alt-Abdi (from Kz.)

Hope you like it!

Classic Christmas colors

Hello everybody!
I want to show you a new card I made for Christmas using traditional green and red colors.

I don't remember where I've got the image (I think it's a Cuddly Buddly freebie from long ago), I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a Sizzix oval die and with a bigger one I cut the green mat. The patterned paper is from a Russian pack (don't remember the brand). To embellish the card I used a red Christmas ribbon and some glitter for the image.

Gingermen card

Hello friends!
I made my first Christmas card and here it is! It is a very CAS one :)

The ginger-man image is a freebie at Beccy's, I printed and colored it a couple of years ago, when I still didn't have markers.... I cut out each of them and used some foamy tape to place it on the red gingham mat. To embellish the card I used a green Christmas ribbon and added some glitter.

Hope you like it!

Pretty flower girl

The image is by Bugaboo. I colored it with Copic and Kuretake markers. I used a Spellbinders die to cut it and the same one for the green mat. The dp is a Russian one (which brand???).... I used green ribbon and made a bow with a little daisy paper flower and added some green rhinestones to embellish it.

Girl with flowers

Hello!
Trying to come back to card-making with some rhythm... to tell you the truth it is not easy, I feel that I forgot how to make things (like little bows), how to combine papers or to do a card without sketch, hahaha...
This is a new card I made. I hope you like it.

The image is by Bugaboo. I colored it with Copic and Kuretake markers, the faux stitches are done with Triplus fineliner Staedtler marker. The dp is a Russian one (don't remember the brand), and some green cardstock. I made the flowers with two punches and some foamy tape  and used small rhinestones for the centers.

Birthday Penguin

Hello!
After more than 2 years after my last post, I am back with a very simple card. I feel rusty after so much time that I didn't make any card, I was coloring though, but not too often either... life is complicated sometimes!!!!
Anyways, here is my card, hope you like it.

The image is by 2CuteInk, and was colored with Kuretake markers, (the coloring was done by my daughter), and I made the rest.  I cut with a Sizzix circle die and the same for the green cardstock mat. I used a Happy Birthday embossing for the background, a little bit of a very old dp, some green ribbon to embellish it and that's it!
