Party birthday card

Hello!
I hope you are doing well. I would like to show you one more card I made:

The image is by Bugaboo and I colored it with Kuretake markers, cut it and placed on a green mat, car with a die cut (Sizzix). I used three different patterned papers for the background and a green mat for the whole card. I used a white jelly pen to give some accents in the image. No embellishments to create a very simple look.

Bird with umbrella

Hello, friends!
I would like to show you a new card I made:

The image is Bird Umbrella by Bugaboo And I colored it with Kuretake markers and some white pen for some accents and then cut it with scalloped oval Spellbinders die, I placed on a pink mat cut with a bigger die from the same set. For the background I used a patterned paper pink feathers on pastel yellow, then as mat I used more pink cardstock.

Hedgehog and flower

Hello, dear friends!
I keep feeding my card's box and I love to show you what I am doing... this is one more new card I made, what do you think?

The image is TulipHedgie by Bugaboo and I colored it with Kuretake and Copic markers, then I punched two corners with a round punch and placed it on a salmon color cardstock and did the same for the corners. For the background I used a salmon color cardstock and dots embossing folder (Sizzix), then I used a yellow/salmon striped patterned paper. To embellish it I used a gingham yellow ribbon and made a double bow. I think this card can use some glitter or rhinestones, maybe I will add some bling later!

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!

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???)....

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.

Graduation card

Hello!
My friend's daughter graduated last week and we were invited to the party after the graduation ceremony at school. I made this card for her important evening:

The image is Graduate Ava by Bugaboo stamps and Vicky, my daughter colored it with alcohol based markers. The idea was that she will do a card but then she felt tired, so I used the already colored image to do it.

For the background I used black cardstock and a Sizzix embossing folder (don't remember the name). I made a whole with an oval die (Sizzix) and placed the image with foam tape.

To embellish it I used a golden trim, made three rows and bind them with a knot of the same trim.

I drink coffee and you?

Hello, dear friends!
As in the title of this post, I am a coffee drinker, for hot drinks it's my favorite :)
I don't drink much when crafting, I don't like to bring the cup to my working place because I am afraid to  make a mess if the coffee spills... But between cutting, glueing and this and that, I go to the kitchen and drink some coffee!

I made this card specially to participate in the Spring Coffe Lovers Hop:

The image is by Bugaboo Stamps and I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I made some green details with a glitter glue and I think look nice. I cut it with Labels 2 Spellbinders die cut. The same for the craft cardstock mat.

I used Folia patterned paper, it's all about coffee on a green background. I used a brown ribbon (Crafty Ribbons). With a black fine marker I made some faux statiches around the image and around the background.

Spring is here

... almost here!
Hello, dear friends and visitors.
The last 2 days we had rain here, normal for spring, but this morning we woke up with a thin blanquet of snow..... It looked nice but the trees are about to bloom and that is not good for them :(
Anyways, I would like to show you a spring inspired card I made:

The image is a Bugaboo stamp and I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut it with a circle die cut and the same for the green cardstock mat.

For the background I used white cardstock and a flowers embossing folder. I love dry embossing, it makes a simple paper to look gorgeous! I also used green cardstock to mat it.

As embellishments I used a couple of leaves and ladybugs I have for long time, they are made with cold porcelaine and think they look good with this image.

Green Bird-thday

Hello, dear friends and visitors!
I want to show you another card I made with the set I won at Catch the Bug - Bugaboo birthday celebration a few weeks ago:

I colored the image with alcohol based markers (Kuretake) and I distressed the borders with a green ink pad, then I placed it on a green cardstock mat.

The papers are from two different stacks from my stash, but I think the mix and match goes well....

The only embellishment is a double bow made with green ribbon and green gingham ribbon.

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.
