The Flower Challenge #16 - Spotlight Stamping Reminder

Hello everyone!!! Hope you are having a wonderful time in the first month of 2018! 

It's already midway of January! And time for a reminder project at The Flower Challenge. 

We are having a challenge of Spotlight Stamping. And this is my reminder card using that technique.

I started by heat embossing the Peony Crush background stamp by The Ton on a Bristol Smooth paper in Liquid Platinum. I then cut the area I want to color using a Double Stitched Square die (The Ton) and colored it with Color Burst powders. I added some silver watercolor for the background.

I adhered the heat embossed panel on the cardbase, added a strip of teal glitter tape horizontally on the middle of the panel and foam mounted the colored square panel onto the card. the sentiment from Kaisercraft was gold heat embossed on some vellum, fussy cut and added on the card.

That was a quick one with a beautiful result imho :) !
Please stop by The Flower Challenge blog for more inspiration! Hope you play along!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Seize the Birthday - No Topping

Hello again! 

I'm popping in to share a birthday card with you! The first challenge of the year at Seize the Birthday is now live. And we have no toppings option this time around! It's good for warming up, right :) ?

No Topping

My card is featuring Bouquet Rose Fussy Cut stamp set, one of EunJi's digital stamps. 

I printed the image on a mixed media paper and colored it using Inktense colored pencils. I colored the darkest tone first and blended it out using a damp brush. After done with coloring I cut the panel, along the outline of the image on the right side and foam mounted it on the red cardbase. The sentiment from Summer Blooms set by The Ton was gold heat embossed on some vellum. I cut the vellum in a banner and glued it onto the card. To finish off I added a yellow rhinestone on the sentiment banner. 

That's it from me! Hope you'll play along!

Please stop by Seize the Birthday blog for more inspiration from my team mates and our new surprise party guest Kristie Goulet! I'm sure you all already know her blog full of her gorgeous creations, Kreative Kristie!

The Flower Challenge #16 - Spotlight Stamping

Hello all! Hope you're having a wonderful week so far! 

Today I have two cards to share with you. 

The January Challenge at The Flower Challenge is all about Spotlight Stamping! I've made two cards in the same layout using Wishful Rose by The Ton. 

On the first card the rose was watercolored and for the second card I used alcohol ink to color the rose. 

To start off I heat embossed Wishful Rose in Liquid Platinum on Oatmeal cardstock (WPlus9) and again on some white cardstock. I then watercolored the rose on the white cardstock and adhered the panel on the cardbase. I cut out a circle from the Oatmeal cardstock using a Double Stitched Circle die and foam mounted it onto the card. The sentiment is from Celebration Rose Cluster (The Ton). I finished off the card by adding three clear Dew Drops (The Ton) onto the rose.

My second card is a shaker card. This is a CAS(E) of my own card.

I heat embossed the  Wishful Rose on a clear acetate sheet in Liquid Platinum and colored it with Purple Twilight, Pool, Aqua and Citrus alcohol ink. Before assembling the shaker card I blended the cardbase in Broken China and Peacock Feather to create the background. I filled the shaker window with some iridescent sequins. The sentiment was white heat embossed on a strip of purple cardstock and foam mounted on the card.

One more pic of both cards together :)....

I had so much fun to try this interesting technique again! Hope you'll give it a try too!
Now please hop over to  The Flower Challenge blog. My teammates have created some pretty projects for you!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!
Have a happy day!

The Ton January Challenge - CHEERS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

Wishing you all a year even better than the best!!! 

My first post in 2018 is for The Ton January Challenge! Our cue word for January 2018 is CHEERS! 

I've created a New Year's shaker card using Country Rose Cluster set. I was thinking of the New Year on the other side of the earth! I imagine the New Year in the south hemisphere like this :)! - Firework in the sky over a field filled with roses! 

To start off I heat embossed  Country Rose Cluster two times on Bristol smooth paper using Rose Gold embossing powder and watercolored them. I used coral and pink to color the roses and purple and turquoise to color the leaves. I cut the images using coordinating die and set them aside. To create the background I blended an A2 panel in Peach Blossom, Iris Blooms, Crystal Pewter and Smoky Quartz and added white splatters. After the background panel was completely dry, I heat embossed the fireworks from Pyrotechnics in Rose Gold  and Silver glitter EP. I masked the border area so that the fireworks are only inside of the frame. The frame was cut using Double Stitched Rectangle dies from a white cardstock on which I adhered transparent Adhesive Glitter paper. I heat embossed the sentiment from Born Classy in Rose Gold on the clear acetate sheet and adhered it under the frame.

I then started assembling the shaker card. I used sequins from New Year, Violet Sprinkle and Disco Spring Couture Mix as shaker elements. I then placed the Country Rose Cluster on the window as shown in the picture and finished off the card.

Hope you will play along! Your project should show a Ton product as the main focal point. Stop by The Ton Challenge blog for challenge details and more inspiration! There is as always a $50 gift certificate to The Ton shop to win!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a happy day!

Lovely May from Altenew has created for all blog hop participants this banner showing best 4 of each crafter. I chose 4 cards created using different coloring mediums.

For this blog hop I chose 9 projects I made using Altenew products throughout the year of 2017. I'll add the link to the original post (please click the photo) along with a short description about each card. 

So let's get started! 

As you may know I love to color big floral images using alcohol inks. To create this cards I gold heat embossed the Sketchy Floral set on alcohol ink cardstock and colored it with Ranger alcohol inks.

This card was my entry at July Inspiration Challenge. I colored the camellia from Build-a-Flower: Camellia set using Artist Markers set A. I have a coloring video on the original post.

This card was made for the Altenew May Release Blog Hop. I watercolored Enchanted Iris using Zig brush markers. I love this stamp set and was so happy with the result :)!

This card was one of my projects I made using new Artist markers. I love the coral and warm gray combination on Golden Garden images. I was so happy with the result because the watercolor wash of the background in gold and payne's gray turned out just as I wanted :).

This card was my entry at January Inspiration Challenge and one of the winners. I created the background first and colored the gold heat embossed Best Mom image with acrylic paint.

This card is featuring Build-A-Flower: Camellia set again.  The first flower of the Build-A-Flower series. I watercolored the camellia in coral and gray. One of my favorite color combinations :).

This card was my entry at August Inspiration Challenge. Super chic color combination! I colored the butterflies from Bejeweled set with aqua and green alcohol inks and blended Hazelnut on the background.

The floral arrangement on this card was created using Remember This stamp set. I colored the images with Artist Markers set A. It was my first trial of the Artist Markers set A and I was so pleased with the result.

I've created this card to celebrate Altenew's 3rd Anniversary in April by using several floral stamp sets: Best Mom, Remember This, Spring Daisy, Garden Treasure and Beautiful Day. I love how this card turned out and the sentiment from Moments in Time set.  

A good life is a collection of happy moments!

Magnolia Fussy Cut - EunJi's digital stamp

Hello and happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a good start! 

Today I want to show you two cards I made using Magnolia Fussy Cut , one of EunJi's beautiful floral digital stamps. 

Magnolia Fussy Cut

I printed the whole image on a mixed media paper sheet in gray and watercolored them. 

For the first card I colored the biggest image using pearl watercolor. It's shimmering, but the picture doesn't show it well. The sentiment is from Happy Wishes by Penny Black. I cut the panel using Double Stitched Rectangle die by The Ton and cut along the outline of the image on the left side. I pop the panel up using foam adhesive on the dark brown cardbase.

I used the other magnolia images to create my second card.

The front panel is with the two magnolia flowers on the top of the stamp. I fussy cut the third flower and a bud (which are on the left side of the stamp) and then added them onto the main panel after I drew the stem for the third flower by hand. I glued a strip of green shimmer paper on the bottom of the card. To finish off I added Crystal Stickles on the center of the flowers.

I'm still learning how to use the digital stamps. But I can say I love that the size of the image is adjustable when I have digital stamps.

I want to enter the second card into Addicted to Stamps and More #272: Make Your Mark.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Have a wonderful week!
