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.

Poppystamps Challenge PSC#32 - Flower Power

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:

The Ton May Challenge - Tic Tac Toe

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:

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day is coming. I made a Mother's Day card for my Mom and attend the following two challenges:

1) Rubbernecker Challenge #8 - Mother's Day
2) Word Art Wednesday Challenge #280-281 - Anything Goes, below is the word art:


And here is the card I made to attend the above two challenges:


I colored the Wildflowers in the Wind stamp set from Rubbernecker with Marvy Le Plume II markers, and stamped on the Bristol paper. Then, I used the damp waterbrush to blend the colors. Once it dried, I brushed the clear Wink of the Stella pen on the flowers. I also shaded around the images with light blue ZIG Clean Color Real brush. The Happy Mother's Day was stamped with Smoky Gray Versafine ink pad and embossed with clear embossing powder. Finish the card by dropping some Tonic Studios Nuvo Jewel Drops (color: sea breeze) on the background. I also die cut the background with a stitched border die and used foam tapes to mount on top of a white card. Below is another look of the card:


Supplies:
Cardstock: Bristol paper, MFT
Stamps: Rubbernecker, Hero Arts
Ink Pads: Versafine
