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.

Fusion Card Challenge - Tulips

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.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #395

For this card, I am adopting the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #395 as shown above.

I decided to use these cute and adorable birds images as they mimic the couple where both of them are wearing glasses as well. All the images are stamped onto a white card stock and colored with Copic markers. Then, they are die cut using matching dies. On a white parchment paper texture card base, pattern paper with varieties of heart shapes and colors is attach onto it.

Close-up: Images on the stitched journaling card

On a pink embossed stitched journaling card die cut, the sentiment is stamped on the right bottom. Then, the images are attached onto it using dimension tape. A red/white twine is used to tie the tree trunk and the birdhouse. The whole stitched journaling card is then attached onto the card base using double sided tape.

Close-up: The shimmer on the hearts and glasses and the coat of glossy accents on the glasses

Finally, a red heart gem and some pink and red circle gems are attached to the upper left and right lower side of the stitched journaling card as in sketch. Some shimmer is added to the glasses of the birdies follow by a coat of glossy accent to make it more realistic. Some shimmer is applied to the hearts as well.

CAS(E) This Sketch #204

I adopt the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch #204 as shown above. However, I flipped the sketch 180 degree so that it fit my image.

The sentiment is stamped onto a green strip (same color as the card base) and attached onto the house image as in sketch.

For finishing touch, I added some white pearls above the chimney mimicking smokes coming out from it. I also apply a layer of shimmer and a coat of glossy accent to the window glasses to make them shine and glass lookalike!

Sketch Saturday Week #402

I am adopting Sketch Saturday Week #402 as shown above.

Elephants Wedding Wishes

Elephants Wedding Wishes

Made this wedding wishes card for an ex primary schoolmate who is getting married this Saturday.

Viva la Verve Sketches - November Week 1 Sketch

I am adopting Viva la Verve Sketches - November Week 1 Sketch as shown above.

Close-up: Chinese wedding related pattern paper and stripe banner

Pattern paper with 'double happiness' in Chinese character, '喜喜' and Chinese wedding related images is used as the overlay of the background. Then a stripe banner is die cut and attached onto the pattern paper background as in the sketch. A silver ribbon with hearts 'hanging' on the sides are attached onto the earlier two (2) items as shown in the sketch. I did tie a bow as it is hard to tie a bow using this ribbon due to its 'hanging' hearts on the sides. The whole panel is attached onto a red card base using dimensional foam and double sided tape.

Close-up: The female elephant (cow) and male elephant (bull)

The elephants are stamped onto a white card stock and colored using Copic markers. I did not use the elephant natural colors as I like to differentiate the male elephant (bull) and female elephant (cow) literally. Then, they are die cut using the matching dies.

A stitched journal is die cut onto a light pink card stock which will act as the base for the elephants to 'sit' on as shown in the sketch. The sentiment is stamped on center top of the journal card and embossed in gold.

Close-up: Sentiment embossed in gold

The elephants are arrange accordingly below the sentiment and attached onto the journal card using dimensional foam tape. Some hearts flying out above the elephants are stamped onto the journal card to represent that these elephants are in love or is a pair of couple. Finally, the journal card is attach onto the card base as shown in the sketch.
