You are my STAR!

Hello folks,
Today, I want to show you my two different version with one stamp card :D

Let me show you the first card here:
20140711-01I chose absolutely gorgeous Hero Arts Constellation Background stamp for this card. It is really beautiful!!

I heat embossed on the white cardstock using Ranger Embossing Powder Seaform White at first and then sponged onto it using several colour Distress inks. I then spritzed fresh water onto the background paper for making watercolour look. For sentiment, I used On Target Stamp by Mama Elephant and added some gold shape sequins as an embellishment. OH! finally I stamped Korean letters in black between constellation. I have Korean letter – Korean is my first language –  stamp sets and they are so adorable! Combining the letters in this card means ‘I LOVE YOU’ :D

Here is a detailed view:

And…. one more card here:
20140711-03It is kind of a masculine card although there is a glitter butterfly :D

I heat embossed on the white paper in gold and silver. For sentiment I chose Simply Fabulous Sayings MFT Stamps and then heat embossed on the vellum paper in black. I added a glitter butterfly and several enamel dots for finishing touch.

Here is my card for ric #63 challenge:
20140704-01
For this card, I chose Damask Designs MFT Stamps to make a focal point. Firstly, I made deep blue base using Studio Calico Color Theory Ink Deja Blue. I then stamped the largest damask stamp on the watercolour paper using several colour distress ink pads. When I stamp it onto the paper, I spritzed fresh water the stamp lightly and then pressed it onto watercolour paper. I then added more water on the stamped image using paint brush. For sentiment, I chose it from On Target Stamp by Mama Elephant and stamped it diagonally. I coated on the stamped image using glossy accents for finishing touch.

20140704-03I feel like an artist! LOL!!

Watercolour Blooming!

Hello folks,
Watercolour mood today! I love to do watercolouring! I am still learning and practicing over and over again :D

Here is my card:
20140703-01
I made watercolour card with lovely Clearly Besotted Stamps Blooming. Blooming stamp set is so adorable and very good for faux hand-painting technique :D

I chose red and gold colour combinations in this card (Red rose is quite a traditional but very awesome!). I sponged on the white paper with Distress Ink Fired Brick at first. I then layered a mini heart stencil over the watercolour paper and gently applied it with gold embossing paste. Now, it is time to do watercolouring! I stamped rose using Distress Ink Fired Brick and leaves in Mowed Lawn via second generation stamping. I then painted them with a fine brush. I added some red watercolour spots, red sequins, and clear rhinestones for finishing touch.

BUTTERFLY DIE CARD

Hello folks,
I was so impressed Laura Sterckx’s watercolour card at Bonus Day of Watercolor Card Makers! It is stunning!!! So, I chose ‘Simon Says Stamp LEANNA BUTTERFLY Die’ as a focal point of my friend’s birthday card.

Personally, I love butterfly embellishment. The Butterfly symbolises the Covenant in Christianity.

Here it is:

I blended several Distress inks using distress tool and added Shimmer Spritz Sparkle. Making my own embossing pattern with scoring board is so clever!! Isn’t it wonderful technique? LOL!!
