Blooming Today!

Hello folks,
Today, I made my friend’s birthday card with gorgeous Blooming stamps by Clearly Besotted. I love flower stamps very much indeed!!

Here is my card:
20140630-01
I like yellow and grey colour combinations. It looks so modern, clean, and bold :D

I stamped roses, leaves, and several different sized circles as background patterns in VersaFine Pigment Ink Smokey Grey at first and stamped one rose in yellow stand out in other petals. I then chose ‘Hello beautiful’ sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Summer Garden and heat embossed it with Ranger Embossing Powder Seaform White. At the bottom of the card, I sponged white cardstock in Distress Ink Mustard Seed and added water splatters for fun!

20140630-02Oh! one more main part of my supplies! I used ‘Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Clear’ on the yellow rose petals.

Runway Inspired ric#62 – ADEAM

Hi folks,
Phew… my hectic days are GONE! (making cards for Gallery Idol contest) :D And now… what am I going to do? Take a nap, grab some coffee, or watching movies? My answer to that would be, making another card LOL!!

I’ve been wanting to challenge ‘Runway Inspired Challenge’ for a long time. Making card in combination with fashion is very interesting!

Here is my card:
20140620-01I love deep blue and white colour combinations. So, I chose ‘Studio Calico Color Theory Ink Deja Blue‘ for making deep blue colour panel and sponged on the white paper at first. I then made several water splatters using watercolour brush. I cut with the ‘Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Drift Craft Die‘ and mounted onto the deep blue panel with adhesive. Affixing butterflies onto the panel, I adhered them partially because, I wanted to show you butterflies fluttering their wings :D

Here it is:20140616-01I named it ‘GARDEN HEAVEN’.

The theme for round 5 is ‘ADHESIVES‘. Adhesives… adhesives… I counted double-sided bonding tape, foam adhesive, any types of glue, and glossy accents. Am I right?
(please~ these are all I have…)
20140616-02
My card looks nothing special… just made with ordinary way… but, my aim for this round was to show you a conventional card with its own unique idea. I chose several colours of ‘Martha Stewart Glitter Powder’ for the background and ‘Summer Garden stamps by Simon Says Stamp’ as embellishments. I LOVE Summer Garden stamps very much. It is so adorable! So, I was really happy that I could use these stamps for my last challenge card LOL!!

I affixed a double-sided sticky tape on the paper at first and then I die cut using MFT Die-namics Triangle Screen as a garden wall hangings.

20140616-03
I then gently rubbed on glitter powder on the sticky part of the paper. Rainbow colours were chose from Martha Glitter Powders. They are super-duper fine and I love them all.
20140616-04

My second form of adhesives – and this is my favourite types of adhesives – is Glossy Accents! I used it to make watercolour flowers more fancy.

20140616-05
Lastly, I used foam adhesive for a 3D dimension of the sentiment, tiny butterfly, flowers, and leaves. :D

Hello folks,
Happy Monday Again!! YAY~ I made it to the Gallery Idol Top 15. I am highly honoured and so excited.

The theme for round 3 is ‘STENCILS‘ :D

Here it is:
20140602-01
For GI round 3, I chose a gorgeous ‘PUNCTUATION Stencil’ by Simon Says Stamp and I named this card ‘Sound of Music‘.

Hmm… You might be wondering “Music? why?? where is musical notes?” Ye! You are right! It is punctuation but, not just punctuation. In my imagination, adding rainbow water drops to punctuation turns into the Sound of Music. LOL! :D

Here is a detailed view:
20140602-02
I layered a stencil over the watercolour paper and blended it with several colours of Distress Inks for making stencil patterns stand out (phew~ there are so many colours!!) and then, I added Shimmer Spritz Sparkle and touches of glossy accents to fresh water drops. The focal sentiment is embossed in Gold and it was popped up with foam dots for dimension. :D

20140602-03Sound of Music… So, shall we dance? You are absolutely delightful!!

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:
20140523-01
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!!

20140523-02Could you see the sparkly surface? It is really beautiful. I love it :D.
