20140922-0120140922-02I stamped holiday petals and leaves in Versamark ink shaped like Christmas tree and heat embossed them in white. I love doing white on the kraft paper. Yay!!

My second Christmas card here:

The Card Concept #17 – Be Inspired…

Hello folks,
Today I am sharing a new The Card Concept #17 Yay!!

InspirationPhoto17Here is the inspiration photo for The Card Concept #17. A large olive green flower is so pretty!

And… here is my take on the picture:
20140815-No17-01I love green colour. Especially I feel refreshed with white & green colour combo!

For the greenish background panel, I chose Hero Arts Everything Flowers background stamp. I heat embossed it onto the watercolour paper in white at first. I then blended on the panel using Hero Arts Shadow Ink Lime Green Mid-Tone and Distress Ink Mowed Lawn. Dye inks dry quickly and will work well on many types of paper. I love dye inks very much :D

For elegant and classy looks, I used lace trim and stitched grosgrain ribbon – stitched ribbon was inspired by the stitched headboard – and I used word die ‘LOVE’ instead of stamping for sentiment. I decorated white flowers and silver sequins for finishing touch!

OCC SYS 2 DAY 1 – HELLO

Hello folks,
I’m so glad that I participated in Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. There are full of inspirations!! I strongly recommend it.

SYS2_participant
Especially I was in awe of Shari Caroll’s hello card. It was so amazing and I was inspired by her.

Here is what I came up with:
20140807-01Unfortunately I didn’t have the featured background stamps but it was totally OK! I used beautiful Hero Arts Everything Flowers Stamp instead of them :D

I applied on the background stamp using Evergreen Bough, Rusty Hinge, Bundled Sage, and Victorian Velvet Distress inks and then spritzed the inked stamp with water using a mini mister. I then stamped the background image on a watercolour paper panel (smooth side). After the stamped panel was completely dried, I spritzed Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz Sparkle a little bit and cut the stamped panel and applied Rusty Hinge ink around the edges of each stamped square. I affixed the squares to a white cardstock panel using foam dots for dimension. I die cutted two “hello” pieces with black paper and adhered the pieces together using a glue pen. Lastly I decorated the vellum die cut butterflies for finishing touch!

20140807-02Phew~~ I finished one of my homework of Day 1. By the way, I love Wplus9 Hand Lettered Hello Die!!
