Penny black Sat. Challenge wk119

This week's challenge is the sketch you see here. I could add MORE of everything on this card, but i TRIED to follow the sketch as close as possible...lol... i used the gel pen to give the shimmer on the ribbon for the gift box. Unfortunately the pic. doesn't show it well...Sentiment & main image were adhered with 3D glue dots, to give both more dimention. i luv PB's cat... it always give me a smile :-)

"Unplanned Sketch Swap" at HM group

This is the card i made for this swap. Unfortunately the card got lost in the mail, and i made the new one, with the same design. Today, i got an e-mail that she received the NEW one i sent a week ago :-) So, now i'm posting my card here :-) This photo is the first card i sent, to my recipient. This time, only the difference from the last one was that i used a bit lighter color green Card stock for the base, cuz i ran out of the one i used for my first card... When i go shopping for papers & card stocks, i randomly chose ones which appealed to me, that time.. So i usually don't have the same card stock nor the paper in stock. I used Christmas Red stickles for "christmas lights" on the tree, to look more festive :-) I really luv this HM image! This was a gift from my online friend :-)

HM & friends monday challenge 78

Happy 2year Birthday!! They are celebrating on their blog, and this is the special sketch for this week. Also they are having blog hop :-) I rotated the original sketch by 90 degrees. My camera doesn't focus on this card at all with the sunlight for some reason unknown, and i had to use the flash, and that made Happy Hopper whiter than actually is :-( And other images too... :-( I punched out the leaves from the orange strip in the middle, attached on the corner of the main image, with 3D glue dots. Then i DOUBLED the glue dots to adhere the pumpkin button, to give more dimention. ...so, are you feeling "Fall is in the air", like him?? ;-)

Mojo Monday 156

This is my card for this weeks sketch challenge at Mojo Monday. Cat, tombstones & spider webs were heat embossed. 2 Bats are brads. I took this pic. in 3 days in different time but the pic. doesn't show the colors of CS & papers well... This year & last year, i'm more into Scary cards than Cute cards, i used to make for halloween. ;-)

Penny Black Sat. Challenge wk118

This week's theme is MEN/BOYS. I hardly make this kind of cards, but when i saw this stripe paper about a month ago, i thought this would be great for boys card so i bought it, even i didn't plan to use it anytime soon. And here it is. I could use it for this card for this theme at PB challenge! :-) I used Souffle pen from Sakura for those white tiny dots by the party hats. I didn't mean to buy this pen but when i was looking for another kind of pen, the store clerk introduced me, and i tried it in the store, and i liked it, so i bought it. I haven't used it often but i like how it looks when it dries, very much. It's like gel pen (opaque) but has more Clear Plastic look to it, giving a FUN look! :-) Hope i can use this pen more often! :-) i used glitter glue (sparkle) on the top of the party hats, and used baby blue glitter glue on the lines on party hats. Main image is attached with pop up glue dots.

Simon Says... Holiday Fun!

This week's theme at Simon Says challenge is "Holiday Fun"! Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas! so i made a Halloween card. I used the leaf punch which has the the similar image of the stamp i used, on the background. Then i used that leaf stamp, to stamp OVER the punched leaf images so that they don't look plain, but rather, "real". Those 2 leaves & sentiment were attached with pop up glue dots to give a bit of demention.
