Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone!
 This weekend I decided to start making Christmas cards! I am very excited even though I don't have a lot of materials suitable for holiday cards in my stash ;( Anyway I subscribed to Quick Cards magazine and I was very surprised when I received a goodie bag full of christmas papers and embellishments. They are from dovecfaft ( if you are interested you can see the offer here )
  The cards are very simple. There are no images, no colouring and not a whole lot of embellishments. I used the same stamp for all three cards and I stamped it with Lady Bug Red Memento Ink. The flowers, brads and ribbons are all from the dovecraft. :) And here are the cards:

Update

Heyy everyone,

I just moved to London and I have been trying to settle down for the past weeks which has not been very easy so far. :( I still don't have internet access at home and that's why I haven't been posting.
Anyways, I am back and I am really excited because I just opened my Etsy shop. There aren't a lot of listings yet but I will try to update it regularly :)

Wedding card

I had this 6x6" Wedding Paper Pad that I have never used. Yesterday I decided to put it into use and made this card. It is simple but elegant. I didn't use any images as I thought just a sentiment would be enough for such an occasion. I thought a lot about whether to put a lot of flowers as always but at the end I decided to go with 3 of those C.C. Designs Pixie Roses - they are adorable and are just perfect for this card.  The sentiment is from AmyR's All about Love set and I used Spellbinders Labels 18 to cut it out. At the top angles I put white pearls. The card is also finished inside. This is one of my favourite cards and of course I didn't have time to take a proper picture of it before giving it (  so excuse the bad quality pictures :).

Happy Birthday Card

I made this card for a friend of mine. I used Sugar Chic Paper pad and as you can see in the picture - lots of flowers. The image is called Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta and I think it is very appropriate for a birthday card. The pearls are from Kaiser pearls and I coloured them with my copic markers. I did the same with the flowers. I find it much more efficient to buy white embellishments and colour them by myself because that way I have a lot of different colours but I don't spent a lot of money :) The sentiment is from Kimmie's everyday sentiments and I used Spellbinders Labels 18 to cut it out.
Anyway here are the colours I used for the image and embellishments:

Skin: E000, E00, E93
Hair: YR24, YR31
Clothes: BG13, BG15, V05, V06
Cupcakes: E23, BG13, V05
Flowers: BG13, RV55, Y15
Pearls: E02

* I have added Diamond Stickles Glitter to her wings and the flowers. *

It's your day Card

For this card I was inspired by the Bo Bunny Ambrosia Collection Paper pad. I just bought it and I love the colour combinations that they have used. The stamp is called Some Odd Girl Birthday Mae. The flowers and the little pearls are coloured with copic markers. I am not sure what brand the brads are, I found them in my supplies but I don't remember where I purchased them from. This time I finished the card inside as well.
The colours used for coloring the image are:

Skin: E50, E00, E11
Hair: E23, E27, E29
Clothes: Y15, YR68, V05, BG13, BG15

Flowers: V05, BG13, YR68

C.C. Desings

Last night I coloured some images from C.C Designs. The first one is called Birgitta Blowing Hearts. And the second one is Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta. As always I used my copic markers and here are the colours I used:

For Cupcake Birgitta:
Skin: E50, E00, E11, E93
Hair: YR31, YR24
Clothes: BG13, BG15, RV55, B00
Cupcakes: RV55, E23, B00
Border: B00
Shadow: W0, W1

For Birgitta Blowing Hearts:
Skin: E000, E00, E02
Hair: E23, E27, E29
Clothes: BG15, YG03, YG05, RV13, RV14
Chair: T4, 0
Border: YG05
Shadow: W0, W1

For both images I have used Spellbinders Doily Heart Circles to die cut them. :)

Thank you Card

This is my third attempt to make a card. I didn't have matching embellishments so I used my copic markers to color the flowers and the pearls. The papers I used are from a Basic Grey Paper Pad. For the colouful panel below the sentiment I used a flower stamp but since I don't have any inks yet( apart from black one) I used my copic markers as inks. It did work, however I wouldn't recommend doing this technique with expensive stamps as they do get a little damaged. The colours that I used are:
RV42 Salmon Pink
R27 Cadmium Red
B02 Robin's Egg Blue
Y05 Salad


Here are some pictures of the finished card:
