Paper Smooches November Challenge - Giving Thanks

Here is Paper Smooches November Challenge - Giving Thanks, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I made for this challenge:

I used gesso and Paper Artsy's Infusions to create the background. I stamped the coffee cup (from Cyber Cafe set) and acorn (from Autumn Groves set) on the white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used a circle stitiched die to cut it out and mounted on a glitter black cardstock. I used a border stitched die to cut a corner of the background and stamped "a cup of thanks" on the corner of the black cardstock. Below is a closer look of the card to see the dimension of the curved background.

Supplies:

Cardstock: MTF, Stampin' Up, DCWV

Stamps: Paper Smooches

Dies: MTF

Ink Pads: MTF, Versamark, Archival ink pad

Others: Copic markers, white embossing powder, foam tapes, Infusions, gesso

Paper Artsy 2016 #22 Alcohol Inks and Pens Challenge

Here is Paper Artsy 2016 #22 Alcohol Inks and Pens Challenge. I recently got lots of Paper Artsy stamps from my friend Mandy in Taiwan - she is Paper Artsy's distributor in Taiwan. I used two stamp sets from Eclectica (Kay Carley) line - love all of her stamp sets to make two cards. I was inspired by the below mixed media project made from Louise Christian. I loved her linear movement of the alcohol inks with the flowers. 

I decided to make the pastel background with alcohol inks (shell pink, willow, cloudy blue, and silver) on the Yupo paper. Then I stamped the flowers with black Archival ink pad on the background. I stamped the flowers on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I also cut out the flowers and attached them on the background. Below is the first card I made:

I applied silver glitter glue to decorate the flowers. "Thank you" stamp is from Simon Says Stamp. Here is the second card I made (a top folding card):

I applied white liquid pearls on the top flower to make it a little dimension. I made the movement of the flowers to go with the background.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI, MTF, Yupo Paper
Stamps: Paper Artsy, Simon Says Stamp
Ink Pads: Archival ink pad, MTF, Versafine
Others: Ranger's alcohol inks, glitter glue, liquid pearls, Copic markers
