Virginia’s View Challenge – All Things Colored

Hello crafty friends!
I am so delighted (and excited!) to be a guest designer on Virginia’s View challenge blog today, with Kathy Racoosin. I am so honoured to be there with Kathy! I can’t believe it’s real!

Virginia’s View is definitely one of the most famous challenges, and I know that there are tons of sweet fans out there (and of course, I am one of them).

I hope you enjoy my post today. Have a good read!
VirginiaViewBannerToday is all about COLOUR! I believe that flowers are the best way to show all the colours of the rainbow. In additions, the layered petals of flowers are perfect for expressing different colours on one spot.

YoonsunHur-VirginiaView-ATo create the card, I 1) Stamped layered flowers and leaves on watercolour paper panel using several colours of Distress inks (Red flowers: Festive Berries, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany / Pink flowers: Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry / Yellow flowers: Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade / Leaves: Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn). 2) Stamped the sentiment at the centre of that using VersaMark embossing ink, gold heat embossed. 3) Coloured loosely around the flowers with Broken China Distress ink using waterbrush. 4) Spritzed with a Perfect Pearls Mist over the flowers. 5) Tied the bottom of the stamped panel using natural twine. 6) Mounted the panel on white card base using double-sided tape and then embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.

YoonsunHur-VirginiaView-BHow did I make my second card? Well, it was no different to the way I made it the first card. But this time, I used cool colours instead of warm colours. I stamped the first layer of these blue flowers with SSS Lake shores hybrid ink, second layer with Audrey Blue dye ink and then the last layer with Blue Jay hybrid ink. For the leaves, I stamped the first layer with SSS Jellybean, second layer with Scuba and the last layer with Blue Jay hybrid inks.

SSS STAMPtember® – Band Camp

Hello crafty friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Stamptember-Wplus9Today I want to share with you a couple cards I’ve made using so precious Band Camp stamp set. It is made in collaboration with Wplus9 for STAMPtember®!!
Stamptember-Wplus9The band camp stamp set took my breath away when I first saw it. These 4 adorable kids in the set looked like Christmas toy soldiers and it reminded me of my warm Christmas memories. Oh! I really, truly love it!!

YoonsunHur-20150921-SSS-Stamptember01To create my first card, I 1) Stamped lots of images onto the watercolour panel randomly using VersaFine pigment ink Onyx Black. 2) Coloured them with Distress markers and then coloured the rest areas with Festive Berries Distress ink. 3) Stamped the sentiment on the black card stock using embossing ink, white heat embossed. 4) Mounted all elements as shown to the Fog Gray card stock.
YoonsunHur-20150921-SSS-Stamptember02I will definitely use it again with Christmas sentiments during Christmas season!

YoonsunHur-20150921-SSS-Stamptember03For my second card, I was totally inspired by super talented Debby Hughes’s watercolor rainbow card. She (absolutely) blew me away with her watercolour masterpiece!!

To create the card, I 1) Blended on the watercolour panel with Festive Berries, Mustard SeedMowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers Distress inks using mini blending tool. 2) Spritzed the inked panel with water and added water droplets. 3) Stamped the kids and banner from the Band Camp set on the white card stock using black pigment ink and then fussy cut them. 4) Stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the inked panel and then mounted it on the white card base. 5) Adhered the kids and banner as shown to the inked base using dimensional foam tape. 6) Embellished with a few clear sequins.

That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy STAMPtember®!!!

SSS STAMPtember® – Darling Friend

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
Stamptember-PPPToday I want to share with you the card I’ve made using the oh-so-adorable Darling Friends stamp set.

SSS-PPPJust a little bit of background information – Simon Says Stamp made it in collaboration (so specially) with Pretty Pink Posh for STAMPtember®!! As many of you already know, this stamp set and matching die sold out soon after the launch, but it has now been restocked at Simon Says Stamp store! YAY!!

Here is what I came up with:YoonsunHur-20150916-SSS-Stamptember01For my colourful rays, I used the newly released SSS Hybrid inks. I love SSS Hybrid inks along with other STAMPtember goodies! They have so soft and pretty colours!!

To create this card, I 1) Masked off rays using washi tape and blended with various colours of SSS hybrid inks using mini blending tool. 2) Trimmed the inked paper with SSS Stitches Rectangles Die. 3) Made the balloon shaped window at the centre of the inked panel using balloon die from the Darling Friends dies and then attached the white heat embossed sentiment over the window panel using dimensional foam tape. Hmm… is that all? NO!!
YoonsunHur-20150916-SSS-Stamptember02Ta-da! There is another fun inside the card! The big balloon is floating high up in the air!! Ooohhh… I wish I could travel by hot air balloon right now!
