THINK PINK!

Hello everyone! Here's my 2nd post for today, so if you wanna see my earlier post, just kindly scroll down. :)

This card is for ODBDSLC82 challenge -- Think Pink!  (Think Pink and Encouragement in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. (it need not be on the theme of breast cancer but it must be pink and have a verse or sentiment of encouragement)

My verse is from ODBD Scripture Collection 2009.  I believe that this is an encouragement verse as it implies that everything has its own time; if there is sorrow, there is also a time for joy; if there is sickness, there is a also time for healing. 

I stamped the scripture on a white cs, die-cut with Fleur de Lis Rectangle and while still on the die, I sponged it Memento Angel Pink using my large sponge dauber.  My dp is from Basic Grey Sultry which was matted onto a pink cs (too dark for this photo but it's a bit lighter IRL). The butterfly was cut from the same background dp with an additional stamped swirl from one of my stamp sets. I adhered a baby pink ribbon on the left bottom side, then finished it off with stacked of flowers and pearls for the butterfly.

Here's my card:

Thanks for looking and  see you again on my next post!

Hugs to all!  God bless!

Christmas Stocking

Happy Wednesday everyone! We're having a lovely weather here in Sydney today. Not too hot, not too cold -- just right! :)  Lovely weather to sit, stamp and create a card for this weeks colour combination challenge (CC347) over SCS.  The colours for this week are: More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy.

Here's my take on that:

I didn't have any SU! More Mustard cs left so I just chose a cs closer to it.  My image was coloured with mostly SU! markers to match that's why there isn't to much shading done here. The only Copic marker that I used was E000 for the face. I didn't know what was on my mind when I did the faux stitching, LOL! Oh well, all was pierced and done. Haha! I actually made some faux stitching error on the bottom right so I just concealed it by adhering a burgundy flower on it. :) Smart move eh?  The Always Artichoke base was embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflakes 2 embossing folder and the burgundy strip was also embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder (I forgot the name). Finished it off by embelleshing the white part of the image's hat with Stickles Star Dust.

Here's a closer shot of the image:

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and die-cut with Nesties Deckled Rectangle Lrg while the mustard-coloured cs was cut free-hamd using a deckled decorative scissors. The edges looked like they were cut with the same material. :)

Thank you for the visit and I'll see you on my next post.

God bless!

SAME BUT DIFFERENT

Good afternoon and happy Thursday everyone!  Yes, my cards for today are same but different! LOL!! Same lay-out used but different when it comes to the elements (colours, materials, etc.) used.  These cards are part of my orders and the lay-out was based on a card which was ordered from me last year, by the same person who is my churchmate/friend, Bing. :)  

I happily obliged to grant her request provided that only the lay-out will be retained because I don't feel comfortable creating two identical cards! Identical in every aspect, that is. I don't know about you, but for me, it's my principle. LOL! 

 Anyway, here are the cards:

 Materials used:

Stamps: Jemac Stamps

Paper: white cs, DCWV dp, mint green cs

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder, Spellbinders Labels One and Four, McGill branch punch, flower, paper rose, Kaiser pearls

Materials used:

Stamps: Jemac Stamps

Paper: white cs, Perfect Plum, Basic Grey Koshi dp

Ink: Memento Dew Drop Sweet Plum

Accessories: Craft Concept Cottage Floral embossing folder, Spellbinders Labels One and Big Scalloped Ovals Lg, McGill branch punch, Green Tara flower, paper rose, Kaiser pearls

These cards along with another one (which I will be posting soon) are my entries for the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge (HYCCT1125) over SCS.  I'm also entering these cards to Joan's World Cardmaking Day Blog Candy!


Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

SAME BUT DIFFERENT

PSALM 28:7

Hi everyone! It's my first time to join the Hope You Can Cling To challenge on SCS and it's so overwhelming to see lots of participants and stampers doing this as a support to cancer survivors.

My card is a small square and I used the papers that are leftovers from a card that I created last night. The colour is more of "plum" but I guess it's also part of purple family. (if I'm not mistaken) LOL!

The bible verse is from Unity Stamps and stamped with Versafine Onyx black onto white cs then die-cut with Spellbinders Labels Four. I also did some sponging around it using Memento Sweet Plum. Flowers are from my stash and I used Basic Grey Pearl (black) for its center. The SU! Perfect Plum cs was embossed with Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder and the strip of dp is from Basic Grey Koshi pad. This is another entry for my cousin's WMCD blog candy. This is card #2, Joan! :)

Here's a close-up of the verse:

BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE!

Hello everyone! This is my take for this week's CAS challenge (CAS140) at SCS -- cupcakes!! In my case, it's just a cupcake with a lady sitting on it. LOL!

This is my 2nd time to ink this image (given to me by my cousin who's also into stamping). I stamped it using Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured with Copics, die-cut with Large Deckled Rectanges (Spellbinders) then sponged around the image with Versamagic Sahara Sand using my big dauber. I stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts on the bottom left of the image panel, adhered onto the embossed card base using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder then finished it off with a grosgrain ribbon, a button with twine and some Crystal Stickles to adorn the cupcake. YUM!


I'm also submitting this to my cousin Joan's WORLD CARDMAKING DAY Blog Candy!

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Happy Saturday everyone! Now I can finally upload the card that I made for our church pastor's 43rd wedding anniversary last Monday.

The card's lay-out was based on SC351. Great sketch and I'll probably use this for a couple of times on my future cards. The background panel was embossed using Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder. I actually inked one side of the folder before running it through my Cuttlebug machine to give the background a very light "teal" colour. I then matted it onto a teal cs, stamped the sentiment and cut with Spellbinders double-ended tags die and sponged around it with the same ink I used with the embossing folder.  I then used a teal satin ribbon that I bought from Alice in Paperland when I visited their shop few weeks ago and finished off with 3 Kaiser pearls on the bottom right. Oh, I actually sprayed Glimmer Mist Pearl on the embossed panels but the camera didn't capture its sparkle. It looks good IRL. :)

Thanks so much for looking and for always visiting my blog.

Until next post. God bless everyone!

CAROLERS

I like paper piecing! And one of my stamps that I always like to do this technique with is my Carolers by Clearly Wordsworth.

CAS as it is, I stamped and coloured the image (the male carolers) directly to the card base and paper-pieced the ladies. Cut a two different size strips, stamped the sentiment (from the same set) and did some scoring using my Scor-Pal.

Thanks for looking and have a blessed THURSday! :)
