Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Flower Power

Hi everyone and happy Sunday.... I just found out there are a lot of challenges from the Moxie Fab World..... I was inspired by this:


I love flowers and I like to make them. So, I decided to enter this challenge. But the problem for me for this challenge is the color--orange, purple and blue. This is a real challenge for me and I would like to try my best and put all those colorful flowers together in one piece.


I hope you all like it.

Thanks.

Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: A Tag

Hi everyone, Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge for this week is showing a Tag.... here is my submission for this week challenge. Enjoy!!


I like this tag a lot. The background of this tag is wood...... and I distressed around the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink. For this tag, I also want to play with the Old World textured cardstock stack by DCWV. I just got it and I love the vintage and shabby look of the paper. Here is the closer look to it:


Both of the flower is fully made by using EK success flower punch.....the smallest and the medium one. I hope you all enjoy my work. Thanks.

Rusted Enamel

Hi, everyone... I am making this decor for my craft room and guess what -- entering the Studio L3 challenge for this week, Rusted Enamel technique..... The detail will be in Tim's book calls A Compendium of Curiosities.


All of the die cutting right here are All Tim's... Caged Bird, Baroque and Tattered Florals. The bird cage right here is made by the technique (Rusted Enamel) using Weathered Wood distress ink. Besides, I did some extra work on the cage. I applied some of the brown acrylic pain over it after everything is done.

I hope you all like it, thank you for stopping by.

Embossing

Here we go...

I like 3D projects. Besides to embellish the project with charms, buttons and so forth to give it some dimensions, embossing is one of the technique that I love the most because I like to give everything that I make a little dimensions and textures, no matter it is dry embossing or wet embossing. So, I decided to make a tag by using few techniques for my husband valentine's.


This tag right here is also to enter Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge this week: Embossing. As you can see, I used few of the Tim Holtz texture fade embossing folders for the background and the heart wings die. I applied Fired Brick Crackle Paint from Ranger to the heart and embossed it with UTEE. For the crown, I embossed it with gold embossing powder for few layers. The flower is made out of Tattered Florals die and the letter is from Tim Holtz Carnivale die.

I hope you all like it and please leave your lovely comment  right below here, thanks so much.

Valentine's Card

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.... I have made few cards with valentine theme......


This is one of the Valentine's Card. On this card, I applied few techniques to make this background. I like how it comes out and in love with this technique. Again..... I am using Tim Holtz texture fade embossing folder to dry emboss it and then I used Weathered Wood distress ink from Ranger to ink it up the raise part of the embossing area. Most of you guys know that distress ink can be an embossing ink, so I wet embossed it with clear embossing powder after I inked it up with distress ink. After that, I inked the background again with Walnut Stain distress ink. The Walnut Stain distress ink give it an old look to some of the area that is not being embossed. I like the effect very much and just could stop playing with this technique again.



I used Tim Holtz Heart Wings die and Tattered Florals die here. I used one of the coolest Tim Holtz texture fade embossing folder to emboss the heart and applied some pearl acrylic paint. If you guys have any questions, please feel free to email me and I will be very happy to answer and thanks for stopping by again...
