Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #146

Hi everyone, Welcome to another Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge, 

This week our theme is Anything Goes!

And our awesome sponsor is STAMPlorations. The winner will get $10 gift certificate.

Here is my DT card featuring sponsor's image Seashell, Heaven Sent, and Bubbles Stencil.

First, I printed the Seashell image, colored it with color pencils, and cut out.

I then stamped the sentiment (from STAMPlorations Heaven Sent) and splashed some brown colors over a circle panel and I used it as the base for the seashell. 

 It looks like a seashell on the beach. 

To create the background matching my theme, I put the Bubbles Stencil and applied some bright and deep blue colors. 

Lately, some of my favorite products are STAMPlorations stencils. They are versatile and so much fun to play with.

Hope you all enjoy our inspiration cards of Day1.

Here is my DT card:
Using: Happy Flowers - ARTplorations Stencil, Fond Expressions

This one-layer card simply featuring Happy Flowers stencil is very easy to do. First, I applied some water on my card base, placed the happy flowers stencil over it, and applied some orange, yellow, red, green watercolor directly. I really love those watercolor rendering effect! After the colors dried, I put the stencil back, and drew around the edges of the flowers with a gel pen to give it a bit of interest.

To finish, I heat embossed the sentiment from Fond Expressions with gold embossing power on black paper, and added some gems.

Day 1 ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop

Hi, everyone. It's time for happy STAMPlorations Stnecil Blog Hop!!! 

Today the design team girls are sharing some awesome stencil projects, 
and here are what I came up with:

For this card, I showed an layer stenciling technique from Jennifer McGuire, 

but I had some change.

First, I chose a purple cardbase, placed the Nestled Circles Stencil on it, and applied white VersaCraft ink . After the white ink dried, I placed the stencil back on top of the pattern,  reversed the direction of the stencil instead of shifting it slightly, and then applied seedless preserves Distress Ink, so that you can see those fabulous ordered and symmetrical geometrics pattern.

The bear from STAMPlorations Heaven Sent was colored with Copic and trimmed with scissors. I also die cut a circle vellum as a base for the bear.

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.

SIX (6) winners (2 winners per day) will receive their choice of ARTplorations stencil. Winners will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the designers' blogs.

THX -shaker card 小花搖搖卡

Hi friend! Today I would like to share a flower shaker card. 

As I mentioned before, I love flower stamps very much xx 

For this card, I die cut a circle from Wplus9 to create my shaker window. 

I stamped several little flowers, leaves and butterflies from Avery Elle using VersaMagic and Memento Ink, and fussy cut some of them. I then arranged those flowers along one side of the circle window.

Next, I put some flower-shaped sequins into the shaker.

Finally, I stamped the word with black ink. 

今天與大家分享一張小花搖搖卡~ 最近各家廠牌很流行做遙遙卡，造型各式各樣，當然搖搖卡的靈魂人物-亮片，也跟著火紅。今天這張卡片我用的亮片其實只是在九大文具店買的便宜貨，但我個人覺得物超所值，有小花造型，還有不同顏色，重點是一瓶才12元! 用便宜、隨手可得的材料來做卡片，一直是我想推廣的，畢竟藝術印章及其相關用品很貴，再加上運費更是不得了....。無奈我個人還是忍不住被國外廠牌吸引，尤其是有出以花為主題的印章，所以就掉到印章坑裡，無法自拔了!
言歸正傳，這張卡片主要用的章是AVERY ELLE，我首先用Wplus9的圓形刀模割出一個遙遙卡的窗戶，在背面貼上透明塑膠片，之後再倒入亮片，並用泡棉封住。接下來翻到正面，將印好的小花、小草沿著圓形邊緣拼貼，很像設計造型花圈。這張卡片就完成了。

Thank you for standing by. 

Have a nice day.

STAMPlorations sketch challenge 34

Hi, It's time to share another STAMPlorations weekly sketch with you! 

Here's our gorgeous sketch:

And here is my DT card:

This card features Botanical Lush Stencil along with Subway Art Builders: Dare stamp set.

I started by creating the front panel which is filled with flowers and leaves. I put the Botanical Lush Stencil on the green paper, sponged with white Versa Magic ink, and heat set the ink until it was dry.

 To add more white effect on the edge of flowers and leaves, I heat embossed the edge with VersaMask pencil and white embossing power. 

I then colored those flowers and leaves with color pencils. 

For my background, I put the stencil on another green cardbase, applied a mowed lawn Distress Ink . The green cardbase was also mounted to a white layering card to tie in the colors from the flowers and leaves.

To finish of, I stamped the sentiment from Subway Art Builders: Dare stamp set with black ink.

Hope you play along with us!

Hello, beautiful

Hi, Today I have a flower card idea with nail polish. 

I finally got to play with the Altenew stamps and they sure are fun. There are so many ink combinations that can be used to make gorgeous roses. I loved them all so much!

For this card, I was inspired by Altenew May Challenge: From Places Abroad – Tunisia, so I decided to make these roses in gold, blues and aqua colors.

I used the combination of light blue, aqua and gold colors to stamp the roses on a white panel. The blue pattern behind the panel was created using the leaf stamp and blue ink.

For the dimension of the roses, I adhered a trimmed rose and some gold string. 

Then, I stamped some little flowers with gold ink, and added some gold dots using nail polish. I really interest them add to the card! 

Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment from  Simon Says Stamp in gold on black cardstock.

I also send this card for dear Sandie!

      Surprise! Happy Birthday Sandie!!!!!

今天與大家分享Altenew的玫瑰印章，這款印章最大的特色就是可以蓋印出多層次效果，非常美，因此算是最近歐美很火紅的產品(其實已經紅一陣子了，只是礙於缺貨和寄送時間，我最近才拿到手)。

中間三朵玫瑰花的部分，我是以VersaCreaft的淺藍、淺綠、金色蓋印。為了增加立體感，其中一朵特別用泡棉貼在背後。背景藍色花紋是利用同款印章組裡面的葉子外框印章蓋出來的，我覺得單獨只蓋葉子的外框也有不同的特色。字章則來自Simon says stamp和mama elephant結合設計的印章。我蓋在黑紙上再燙金。

最後，為了增加整體卡片素材間的連結，我又蓋了一些金色小花，並利用金色指甲油點綴其中。此外，我也用金色印台蓋出一條金線，以區隔卡片的前後層次，並以金線裝飾於玫瑰花的背面。

Thanks for joining me!

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #144

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge, 

This week our theme is CAS! 

Here is my DT card.

This is a simple card with a simple background and adorable penguins.

I started by creating the nestled circles background. I put the nestled circles stencil (from STAMPlorations) on the white cardbase, and then I applied some white embossing paste on the top of the stencil.

After the white paste dried, I applied some bright and deep blue inks on it with blending tools.

 I really like the ombre look! 

The adorable penguins were colored with markers, and trimmed with scissors.

 I also stamped the sentiment with black ink.

Hope you play along with us,

 the winner will get 4 digis from our sponsor- Sweet Pea Stamps.

Thank you for standing by.

Have a nice day.

Just for you

Hi everyone, Today I would like to share a card I created for celebrating my friend's birthday.

I really love these gorgeous flowers from Simon Says Stamp and Clearly Besotted! 

I think those tiny details in flowers are suitable for heat embossing and watercoloring.

For my card, I just heat embossing those flowers in white embossing power onto watercolor paper. I wanted to create a vase with bouquet, so I used masking technique repeatedly. After that, I sprayed some water on watercolor paper and painted those flowers with watercoloring.

Then, I stamped the sentiment beside the vase.

At the end, white and clear sequins were the final touches for this card.

大家好，今天與大家分享的卡片靈感來自瓶花，印章品牌是Simon Says Stamp 和 Clearly Besotted。其中SSS的這組印章線條很細膩，我覺得很適合利用白色燙凸和水彩來表現。

為了要呈現瓶花的感覺，我重複了Masking技巧很多次，才能既呈現原有花的細膩線條，又不至於太多雜亂。等到燙凸都乾了後，我用水彩很隨性地暈染，任顏料自然融合與流動。最後才加上黑色的字章以及白色和透明色的亮片。順帶一提，最近卡片界很流行亮片風，幾家大廠牌都紛紛推出五顏六色可愛亮片!

 

I really love this soft and dreamy watercoloring effect! 

Well, that is all from me today. Thanks for joining me!

STAMPlorations sketch challenge 33

Hi, It's time to share another STAMPlorations weekly sketch with you! 

Here's our fabulous sketch:

And here is my DT card :

For this card, I showcased two STAMPlorations stamp sets (Fond Expressions and Trendy Feathers). I created my background by using watercolors. After watercolors dried, I heat embossed those sentiments with gold embossing power. I love the way the sentiments pop off that blended watercolor background! 

To take on this sketch, I added a green cardstock which had been cut its border. I also added a vellum above that green cardstock for layering effect. 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment with black ink, and tied a thread.

Hope you play along with us!
