Butterfly Thinking of You Now & Always

Butterfly Thinking of You Now & Always

Just made this card for fun and de-stress myself a bit. Furthermore, I found some challenges that are good and interest me to play with! ;p

Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC128 - It's Sketch Time!

I am adopting the sketch from Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC128 - It's Sketch Time! as shown above which is perfect for Lawnscaping Challenge 131 - Off Kilter!

Close-up: Faux messy watercolor background

First, I made a faux messy watercolor background on a white rectangular card stock using my new stamp I bought in early 2015 but yet to get it inky. Then, a pink-green plaid patter paper is trimmed and attache onto a neon pink card base follow by the faux messy watercolor background as in sketch.

Close-up: The butterfly

The butterfly is stamped on a white card stock and colored using Copic markers. It is then die cut using its matching dies. Before it is layer onto the green scallop square using dimension foam, a light blue liner is being applied so that the butterfly image is more focus. The green scallop square is later attached onto the messy watercolor background using dimension foam as well.

Close-up: The sentiment

On a green strip, the sentiment is stamped and attached onto the card base as in sketch. The angle of the sentiment is purposely off angle to emphasis on the off kilter effect. The excess from the strip is trimmed.

Close-up: Shimmer on the butterfly cells

As final touch, some shimmers are added to the cells of the butterfly, both its upper and lower wings.

Dimension: 10.1cm x 15.2cm or 4" x 6"

Belated Birthday Rose

Belated Birthday Rose

Made this birthday card for my colleague whose birthday is on tomorrow. As I do not see her tomorrow plus I seldom back to office, by the time she received my little birthday gift, it will be a late birthday wishes already. Thus, I pre-made a belated birthday wishes card to her instead even though her birthday is tomorrow!

Runway Inspired Challenge RIC #58 - Trina Turk and CAS(E) This Sketch #73

For this card sketch and inspiration, I decided to adopt the combo challenges of Runway Inspired Challenge RIC #58 - Trina Turk and CAS(E) This Sketch #73 as shown above. However, I rotate the sketch clockwise as this time, due to the sketch inspiration, I decided to make a different fold of mini card - a gate fold mini card!

Cose-up : Semi circle in gold embossed pattern on black background 

The background of the semi circle opening is embossed with gold embossing powder over the black card stock. After attached the embossed background onto the barley card base, it is die cut with a circle die to form the semi circle.

Close-up : 3D rose

On a white card stock, three (3) roses and two (2) leaves are stamped and colored using Copic markers. The color of the rose are inspired by the designer clothing. Then, the three (3) colored roses are trimmed so that they can be layered upon each to create some dimension using pop dots. Two (2) leaves are tucked behind the rose as decoration. It is then attached to the semi circle opening as in sketch.

Close-up : Sentiment

On the second fold, the sentiment is stamped on the left bottom corner. There is no other embellishment to the card as I want to keep the card as simple as possible.

Dimension : 7.62cm x 7.62cm or 3" x 3"
