Amuse Marigold Thanks

Happy Saturday!!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I just got home from a wonderful class teaching by Julie Ebersole from Amuse. She is  SUPER talented and full of energy. This is my first time taking her class I LOVE it. I want to take this card to say thank you to Julie for a wonderful class.

There is a wonderful surprise for me. I met talented and sweet Ashely, Cherry Hill Design. She sits right across my table and we are working together. So exciting. This is the first I actually meet someone I know from the blog in person. (So sad, we don't have a camera with us to "keep" the moment.) I know I will take more Julie's class and I promise next time when I meet Ashley I will make sure we get the photo DONE.

Take home two beautiful stamps Marigold solid and Marigold. I am so inspired by Julie's card and made this one for PDCC44. I have this week's "colour horribilis challenge" stuck in my head for few days. I have no clue how to put these three color together and I think Amuse stamps are perfect for this challenge.

I stamp Marigold with watermark ink on Navy blue cardstock and use clear embossing powder.Trim a piece of mustard cardstcok and adhere on card base. Trim a white panel, ink up Marigold solid using two color, Mustard Seed distress ink (Ranger) and Pink A la mode(Hampton art). Stamp sentiment(So Artsy from Hero Arts) with Ocean Depth(Versa Magic). Adhere on card and add pearls.

Note:Really it's a bold bright pink (see the color Here) but after it mix up with the mustard seed it turned into kind of orange tune to me. It's a beautiful mistake and I hope this still qualify for the challenge.

PDCC43

Last minute card for the PDCC43. A quick post. I stamp the Wild Bouquet on white cardstock. I color the tips of the flower with Lime Star Gelly Roll. Adhere on a green panel and adhere on punch out borders. After adhere the focal panel on light green card base. I add Glossy Accents on the tips and glue the punched out butterflies. Add gems. TFL~

I have a blog candy giveaway, please see the details on the previous post.

Close up , you can see the glossy accent.

Color Cue 6

-->Happy Saturday. I just had a nice weekend breakfast with my DH. I love weekend breakfast because we can sit down and take our time without rush. It's a raining day in Seattle. I guess we will have to cancel the garden mission and find something indoor to do. 

Made this last minute card for Color Cue 6 using Cream or White/Coral/Kradt/Brown. Here is my take.

I die cut 4 butterflies from pattern paper. Adhere the first one on white die-cut big scallop rectangle. Glue the other 3 in the center and bend the wings. Add glitter glue on the first one. Quick and fun. 

Close up to see the glitter. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend.

Tuesday trigger:She sells seashells

Happy Friday. I made this one for Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger:She Sells Seashell. The moment I saw the photo, I know which stamp I want to use immediately. The sea shells in Hero Arts:Antique Engravings set are perfect for this project. I had hard time putting them together. This is my fourth try and I like the final result. Play along and there is time. You have until Sunday August 15 to submit your project.

I am inspired not only by the seashell bracelet but also the pink bottle in the back. I decide to add a bit pink. I want to keep the focal image as monochromatic as possible and just a little bit shine from the Stickle. Not too much cause I don't want the Gold over powder. Keep it under a soft tune.

Thanks for Stopping by.Have a nice weekend.

PDCC40+Hero Arts

Hello, how is everyone's Tuesday? I am busy in the kitchen and the craft room. I made strawberry Jello with real strawberries in it. Summer time is great time to enjoy all kinds of berries.

Here is my take on The play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC40. It's color splash week and it means black and white with a hint of color. Black and white, I have to play. This week's color is Green. Here is my take on the Challenge. It's hard to take a good picture of this card. I am wondering id that's because of the glitters. I took a LOT and they are all loose focus. I picked the best I can get and sorry about the bad picture.

 

This month Hero Arts new challenge theme is Keep in touch&back to school. Keep in touch can be friendship, hello, thinking of you.......,I will enter this one to the challenge.

I use my favorite Hero Arts Dogwood stamp and new favorite Lace background. Stamp the dogwood with white ink on black cardstock. (I could 've use white embossing powder but I didn't for this card I want the subtle color from the white ink.) Punch corner. Die cut label and trace the frame with black pen before take out of the die. Stamp sentiment with black ink and thread ribbon. Adhere on black pannel and affix on card base.

Close up to see my glittered green butterfly.
To make the Glitter butterflies. First I stamp the Lace background with Peel paint and Shabby shutter distress ink on white cardstock. Peel off one side of the Peelnstick double-sided adhesive sheet (You can find it at Craft store at the type/adhere section)and affix on the stamped panel. Punch butterflies with Martha Stewart punch, peel off the other side of the sheet and sprinkle MS crystal coarse glitter. Glue the butterflies with glossy accent and add gems and bow.

**Thank you True for reminding me to enter this one to Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge#5 , using black and white with ribbons. **

Thanks for stopping by.
