CPS143




Made this one for CPS143.

This week is all about colors. I put myself all in the color mood and still want to find some time for some sketches. I feel more comfortable playing with sketches than colors which means I need to play more color challenges. :)  Can't let the colors beat me!!!

Use Jennifer McGuire's butterfly again. Yes. I love it so much and I just can't stop making them.

I always seek for challenges to push myself more and I am really grateful for all the people who came up with those challenges.Thank you all for the hard work. I am really appreciated.

Thanks Dawn for this wonderful color challenge.

CPS142





Made this one for CPS142. I have lots of birthday cards to made and this sketch just come in handy. This is the first time I try to color a image with pearlescent chalks. I like the soft tune and the little bit shinny. Just a bit , not too much. I hope you can see it in the photo. Somehow Pink and black works very well to me. Black just simply balance out the too girly pink.

I learn how to make the layered butterfly from Jennifer McGuire. So creative and such a unique technique. I would love to try to make a big butterfly using the same technique.

Caardvarks Circle birthday card





Made this one for Caardvarks circle card Challenge.

This is my first take. A fish shaker birthday card. I punch out the fishes using Martha Steward Punch from Shrinking paper. It's the same fish you can see beside the circle sentiment. I love the clear bubbles stickers. So cute. Hope you all have a nice weekend.
I will try to make more if I can make it to the deadline Nov. 17th.

2S4Y Kazans Sketch 39.


Made this one for 2 Sketches 4 You Kazans Sketch 39.This week is involved lots of glitters. This card combines lot my favorite: Favorite color tune, favorite color, favorite shimmery paper, favorite background stamp.....
This not a traditional holiday color and I want to give a bit different for my friends.
I stamp a little ornament underneath the embossed sentiment and I hope you can see it. I like the glitter frame a lot. I used double side type and type around the card then sprinkle glitters on it. It stays pretty well.
TFL!
