Then, I colored the feathers (from Honey Bee Stamps - Ten Things) with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush and the clear Wink of Stella pen. Cut out these two feathers and attached on an oval vellum. White embossed "Thank You" and used foam tapes to attach to the background. I love the shimmering watercolor effect with ZIG watercolor markers and the shimmer paste.

Here is Poppystamps Challenge #32 - Flower Power, below is the challenge photo:
And here is the card I made for this challenge:
I applied Dixtress Oxide inks over the background using the blending tool. Then, I spritzed water on the Memory Box Floral Mask stencil and "stamp" on the background. Let the stencil stayed on the background for a while and lift it up. The background had the water resist effect. I die cut the Memory Box Honeyblossom Sprig die from white cardstock and attached on the background. I white embossed Happy Birthday on the lower right hand corner. Finish the card by die cutting the stitched rectangle frame from white cardstock and attached it with foam tapes to make it dimensional. Below is another look of the card:

Here is The Ton May Challenge - Tic Tac Toe, below is the challenge photo:
I picked the "glitter", "embossing", and "stripes" to make this card attending the challenge.
I stamped six macarons in a row with the "Macarons" stamp set. I used the Quickie Glue pen to put on each filling of the macarons and sprinkled the glitters on. For the background stripes, I used the post-it stripes and applied Distress Oxide inks to make the rainbow stripes. Finish the card by heat embossing the greeting - Life is short. Eat macarons. I love this card because the colors and macarons make me feel happy. Below is another look of the card:
