Altenew PAINTED FLOWERS

Posted on by

Hello folks,
One month ago, one stamp set just knocked me out!! That was Altenew PAINTED FLOWERS stamp set! I don’t know why I couldn’t find it before?!?! @@

Here is what I came up with:
20140804-01
When I made this floral background card, I was inspired by Iwona (Chupa)’s fabulous custom made floral papers. I love all of her cards :D

For my custom-made floral background, I stamped flowers onto the watercolour paper using distress inks (mostly using fired brick). Originally I wanted to do watercolouring but, no needed to be. Because it looks like watercolour flowers just using ink pads. Amazing!!! I then covered the panel with a layer of vellum paper and then I stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment and flower on a separate piece of white cardstock, cut them out and popped them up with foam dots for dimension.

Christmas in August – CASE Study #202

Posted on by

Hello folks,
Christmas is just around the corner? Not yet! But, I need to make 100 Christmas cards from now on.

There are more than 100 homeless people around Sydney city area. Especially in the winter, many homeless people struggle against the cold. It is quite a sad… Our Church supports food and blankets to homeless people in Sydney since 2010. One month ago, pastor asked me to make greeting cards for those hopeless people because of delivering God’s love through handmade greeting card in Christmas and I answered “YES!!” without hesitation. Isn’t that amazing? It is really awesome job and I am so glad to make cards for them. Annnnnnnd… there is one more awesome thing to me! My Christmas card can fit for CASE Study Challenge #202 YAY!!!

CSC202-InspirationThe inspiration photo by Shari Carroll is truly amazing!!

Here is what I came up with:
20140805-01I used big enough Hero Arts Wreath of Leaves Stamp for my first CASE Study challenge card LOL!!

I made two-piece wreath as a focal point. One was for watercolouring, another was heat embossed on the vellum paper in gold. I then tied both of them using red & white twine. I wanted it feel more like Christmas, I used embossing folder on the kraft paper panel and then dabbed onto the paper in distress ink vintage photo. I added some red sequins for finishing touch.

For this, I inked on the flower and leaf stamps using distress inks and spritzed with water at first. I then stamped onto the watercolour paper. After that, I spritzed Mr. Huey’s Color Mists Desert on the white space and affixed black & white swiss dot washi tape for finishing touch.

Here is what I came up with:
20140718-ric64-01
For this card, I chose 3 awesome stamp sets. First was Simon Says Stamp Best Mom Ever for roses, second was Paper Smooches Botanicals 2 and the last was Simply Fabulous Sayings MFT Stamps for sentiment. They are all really AWESOME STAMP SETS!

20140718-ric64-02I made light grey panel with Distress Ink Weathered Wood at first. I then stamped roses and leaves using VersaFine Pigment ink Onyx Black. Next step was… watercolouring! Yay!! :D I used several Distress inks for watercolouring as usual but, used white roses using acrylic paint for standing out in bold relief. I spritzed Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz Frost on the floral surface for finishing touch.
