Tulip Congrats

Tulip Congrats
Made these congratulations cards for my manager and segment lead who won the AP level recognition recently. I am so proud of them.

Freshly Made Sketch #532 - A Sketch by Kim
I am adopting the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #532 - A Sketch by Kim. Both the cards will be the same sketch except for the tulip where the colors are changed. and yes, I am into Fusion Card Challenge - Tulips as well where I was inspired by the tulip photo where coincidentally I just bought the Pretty Pink Posh Tulips stamp set recently.
Close-up: The tulip in purple and glitter
The tulips are stamped on the white card stock and colored using Copic markers. They are die-cut using the matching dies. Two (2) more pieces of the matching dies are die-cut from white card stock to be a layer at the bottom to create dimension.

Close-up: Dark purple background
For the panel, a slimline background dies is used to die-cut the dark purple card stock and divided equally in length. They are attached to a cream card base as in the sketch followed by the die-cut tulip.

Close-up: Die-cut sentiment
The sentiment is die-cut onto white and yellow card stocks twice. They are then stacked together to create dimension with the yellow die-cut sentiment on the top layer. The die-cut sentiments are attached to the dark purple background panel.

Close-up: The tulip in red and glitter
The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the tulip itself to make it sparkle and shine. Some pink gems are added to the top and bottom edge of the dark purple background panel as well.

Flower in the Mason Jar Mug Welcome Abroad

Flower in the Mason Jar Mug Welcome Abroad
One of my ex-colleague and good friend will be joining the current company I am working for. This means that we are going to be colleagues again after 11 years! In order to celebrate the occasion, I am going to make her a card to commemorate the moment.

Freshly Made Sketch #529 - A Sketch by Jen T
This time, I would like to make a mini slimline card as I have some pattern slimline envelopes that I bought some time ago. The mini slimline card would be 3.3" x 6" to be fitted into the envelope. For the sketch, I am adopting the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #529 - A Sketch by Jen T as shown above but mirrored it.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC155 - I choose flowers, coloring, and green
I also chose flowers, coloring, and green from Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC155 for this card and flower and pattern from Just Add Ink #597 - Choose Two.

The flower in the Mason jar mug image is stamped on the white cross-stitched panel and colored using Copic markers. The edges of the panel are down-toned with some green ink.

Close-up: The leaves border
On a red card base, a dotted pattern paper is attached to the top of it. For the border edge, a leaves border dies is die-cut from green card stock. It is attached to the pattern base as in the sketch in the mirror direction.

Close-up: The sentiment on the banner
The sentiment is stamped onto a green banner and attached to the card on the left bottom using form tape.

Close-up: Shimmering flower and water
The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the main flower focal, and water to make them sparkle and shine.
