Hi there, friends!
How's your weekend? I had a fabulous weekend away filled with learning and lots of coloring with my copic markers! I met two sweet ladies who sat beside me during both days...Michelle and Helen. Lori Craig taught the class. She was amazing and so patient! I colored a santa at one point, but didn't want her to see it. I said, "Sorry, I failed...lol"! She said, "You'll get it...keep practicing." By the next day, it just seemed to come all together, and I was quite pleased with some of my colored images. I will post some photos soon. I think I improved with my coloring skills. And, I know I'll need lots more coloring to practice...great fun!
But, first I want to share with you a quick card I made for my sis-in-law's birthday. I recently purchased the Bigger Blooms stamp set from PTI. I love how it makes a wonderful background with the various flowers. So, I was looking at my card and thought...hmmm...does it need some glitter? Well, uh-huh...I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I added glitter to the center of the flowers.
So, what do you think? Do you prefer the first or second card? I believe I prefer the first card. Oh well, I'm just going to have to hide my glitter...lol! Ok, that's all for now. I thank you so much for always leaving such sweet comments and supporting me and my blog! Take care, hugs!

I think they are both beautiful. It's a lovely set of stamps and the colors are saying "spring":). Great cards!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I like the glitter in the centers, I bet in real life it looks really shiny! What a fun way to use that stamp set...you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI do love those blooms, Maria. Plus, you've used some wonderful inks for them.
ReplyDeleteI like both your cards but, like you, I love the clean look of the first one.
Pretty card, Maria! If you ask me, I think everything is better with a bit of sparkle!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had loads of fun this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your stamped background. It looks good both ways. :)
LOVE both but the glitter is my FAV! I thought you were going to tell me you colored all of those flowers, Maria!
ReplyDeleteBecause your stamping is so beautiful ... both cards are amazing!! I'm sure your SIL will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous!! The stamped flowers are stunning and fun!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are such lovely cheerful little flowers, Maria!! Can't really make up my mind if I prefer them with or without the glitter, but on second thought I think I'll go for the one without the glitter!! Your SIL is going to love this card!!
ReplyDeleteThis card is SO beautiful--with or without the glitter! Such cheery colors and a fabulous design. Your SIL is so lucky to be receiving such a gorgeous handmade creation!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like it either way especially those cheery colours!

Both versions are perfect! What happy and pretty flowers! And I'm so jealous about your classes! Can't wait to see some of your lessons!
ReplyDeleteYou make me think I need to put that set on my wishlist! I think I like the first one the best, even though I'm a huge fan of glitter. Recently I added it to the centers of my flowers & then had to scrape it carefully off as it just didn't look right. I was lucky not to ruin the card.
