Get Well Card

Here are the two challenges I would like to attend:

1) Paper Artsy 2018 Topic 10: Paper Dolls

2) Simon Wednesday Challenge: Frame It, below is the challenge photo:

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

I used Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder and watercolor paper to make the background. I love the shimmery look of the background but the photo cannot catch it. I colored the little girl and sun (from Paper Artsy JOFY 42) with Copic markers and cut them out. I die cut a navy stitched rectangle frame and attached it on the background with foam tapes. I also attach the little girl with foam tapes on the background. The polka dot on the girl dress is decorated with white pearl glue. Finish the card by white embossed the greeting (from Pinkfresh Studio) on the background. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Stampin' Up

Stamps: Paper Artsy, Pinkfresh Studio

Ink Pads: MFT, Versamark

Others: Copic markers, Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder, pearl glue, white embossing powder, foam tapes, stitched rectangle die

Paper Artsy 2017 Challenge #5 - Blue and Ochre

Here is Paper Artsy 2017 Challenge #5 - Blue and Ochre. I was inspired by this below photo:

And here is the card I made for this challenge:

The background was made by Infusions and I brushed the border with Distress ink (Salty Ocean). I stamped the flowers and leaves on Bristol paper and watercolored with Distress inks. I black embossed the flower stems on the background and attached the cut out leaves on it. For flowers, I glued the center down and attached foam dots on each petals to make them dimensional. I black and white embossed "hugs" with shifting the stamp a little bit to create the shadow look. Finish the card by attaching dew drops (blue and ochre colors) on the background. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:
Cardstock: watercolor paper, Bristol paper, MFT
Stamps: Paper Artsy, Simon Says Stamp
Ink Pads: Versafine, Distress ink pads
Others: Infusions, clear & white embossing powders, foam tapes

Thinking Of You Card With Infusions

I love Paper Artys's Infusions - a water reactive dye stain with brown walnut crystals in there. Infusions creates a distress and vintage look. Here is the card I made with Paper Artsy Infusions for the background and flowers:

I white embossed the flowers on the watercolor paper (Paper Artsy's Eclectica's Kay Carley 02 set), and masked the flowers. Then, I applied 4 different colors of Infusions on the watercolor paper - Royal Blood, Violet Storms, The Sage, and Lemoncello, sprinkled water and made this background. Remove the masks on the flowers and sprinkle Royal Blood and Are you Cerise Infusions on the large flower, Black Currant Infusions on the small flower, and I used a wet water brush to spread the colors. Stamped the butterflies on another piece of white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. Cut out the butterflies and attached them on the background. Finish the card by white embossed "thinking of you" on the background. Below is another look of the card:

I would like to have this card to attend the following 3 challenges:

1) Paper Artys' 2017 Topic #3 Paints with Infusions challenge - below is the challenge photo:

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

Paper Artsy 2016 Topic 7 - Resist Challenge

Here is Paper Artsy 2016 Topic 7 - Resist Challenge. I was inspired by this funky tree (see below) and decided to make a abstract embossing resist card.

First, I black embossed the stamp images on a piece of white cardstock.

Then, I stamped four different colors of Distress ink pads on my craft sheet and spritz them with Perfect Pearl mist. I black embossed the greeting on a piece of vellum to finish the card. Below is the finished card:

And here is another look of the card:

This card is also one of my cards to attend Mandy's FB April Challenge.

Supplies:
Cardstock: MFT, vellum
Stamps: PTI, Simon Says Stamp
Ink Pads: Distress ink pads, Versafine
Others: Perfect Pearl mist, clear embossing powder
