Lots Of Love

Here is the card I made with the left over watercolor pieces from last card:

I used different sizes of heart dies to cut out the hearts from the white cardstock. I glued down some of the watercolor left-over pieces and cut into heart shapes on the white background. Then I brushed different colors of Distress Oxide inks on the white card under the cutout heart shapes to show up the colors. I stamped "lots of love" at the bottom right of the card and brushed the boarder with Distress Oxide ink. Finish the card by attaching foam tapes under the heart cutout background and showed different colors of heart underneath the heart die cut-out. Below is another look of the card:

The Ton June Challenge - Color Palette Challenge

Here is The Ton June Challenge - Color Palette Challenge, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:

I used two techniques on this card. The first technique is Perfect Pearl lifting using the Wave stamp set. I stamped the first layer of wave with Versamark ink pad on blue cardstock. Then I brushed Perfect Pearl powders on top of the image. I stamped the second layer of wave with Versamark ink on top of the first layer, so the second layer will lift some of first layer's Perfect Pearl powder. I stamped the third layer with navy blue ink pad to finish the shimmery wave. For the pyrotechnics, I used the second technique which is the Transfer Gel with foil paper. I stamped the pyrotechnics with a thin layer of Transfer Gel. Let it dry completely. Then, I put different colors of foil paper on top of each pyrotechnic and went through the laminator. Lifting the foil paper and the dimensional sparkling pyrotechnics are what you will get. Finish the card by silver embossing "You are so awesome" on the background. Below is another look of the card:

Different angle can see different colors of the foiled pyrotechnics, very cool! Below is a closer look of the card:

Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampin' Up, MFT
Stamps: The Ton Stamps
Ink Pads: Versamark, Stampin' Up
Others: Perfect Pearl, foil paper, Transfer Gel, laminator, silver embossing powder

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:

The Ton April Challenge - Anything Goes

Here is The Ton April Challenge - Anything Goes. Below is the challenge photo:

I snapped some dahlia photos last summer when we had a trip to Eureka, there is a little garden next to the zoo and planted assorted colors of dahlia. Below are two photos I love the most:

Based on the inspiration of the above dahlia photos, here is the card I made for this challenge:

I stamped the Dahlia Close Up cling background stamp from The Ton on the watercolor paper and embossed with rose gold embossing powder. Then, I applied watercolor on flower petals to create the first layer of colors. Once the watercolor completely dry, I applied prisma color pencils on the flowers to create the second layer of colors and make more depth of the flower image. Finish the card by embossing the rose gold embossing powder on a stripe of vellum with the greeting "You have a heart of gold" (from MFT). Below is the finished card:
