How to: make a colored vintage photo

Muuuuum! I don't want to go back to school! LOL 
Yeah, going back to work after 2 weeks of winter break will be hard...
There's a new challenge starting right now at
and it's
RIBBON
Just that simple as it sounds. Just use ribbon.
Our sponsor for this one is
so grab your ribbons and make something for our challenge!

I decided to upcycle a ribbon for this vintage card.
But I have to start from this photo. My printer have only black ink installed at the moment, so I was wondering if Promarkers can do that and color a photo. They can! So, here's a hand-colored vintage picture with Promarkers.
I wanted to do some heat shabby embossing, too, but I haven't got 2 things: heating device and shabby embossing powder. So, I heated the elements over the candle and put the copper powder first and then white. Voila!
The ribbon is upcycled from a gift we received for X-mas (wine glasses). I love it's deep brown color. The sentiment says 'Most beautiful wishes'. For the papers, which were very delicate, I used THIS hand-writting stamp.
And here's my 'making of' photo - do you make a mess like this, too? LOL
There's only one big table at my small apartament, so when I craft, you have to eat having the plate on your knees. Not very comfortable...
Thank you for visiting my blog!
