C. C. Designs DT card for Deb's Creation

Good morning to you all. Today, I feel like a CAS mood, not sure why, but I wanted to do a CAS card which is not my usual style. But once I colored this Mistletoe Snowhill by C. C. Design from Deb's Creations, I remembered I had this purple flower ribbon a while ago, which I think it fits so well on this image. Talking about Deb's Creations, don't forget the Queen of Cards competition is starting on June 1st over at Deb's Creation at Ning. The first challenge is staring on June 1st, so remember to go check out!!

I am using this card for the following challenges:
Aly's Sunday Challenge (ASC18) - Bows and Ribbon
Creative Craft Challenge - Ribbons and Bows
CWC005 - A touch of green

Since this is the image of Snowhill holding a mistletoe, I wanted to keep this within the flower platform, that was why I used the flower ribbon, the purple flowers, the flower DP, and the flower brad.

Here is the cute image

Here is a closer view on the ribbon and the little "dream" acrylic word embellie

Laid the card flat so you can see the dimension

Ok, that's all I have for you today and hope you like what I share today. I have more projects to show you soon and hope to see you again for my next post. Thank you so much for stopping by :o)

Bride Tilda Distress ink + Copic coloring

Good morning, a short post today.
I've never tried painting with distress ink, but since going through so many wonderful bloggers' blogs and saw their wonderful painting job, I decided to play a little with it and see what it would turn out. Also, I've never tried using water color paper before. This image was stamped on a 140lb water color paper.

I bought this Bride Tilda from Magnolia-licious a while ago, but never get a free moment to use it. Today I picked her as my practice and was hoping I am able to get some vintage theme somehow. Hehe, thank you Bride Tilda for letting me to try you!!

I tried to take a pictures on each set of colors I used to share with you today. The Distress Ink I used for this practice is "Walnet Stain".

This is my finished image coloring. As you see, that I painted over the outlines, which happens to me often, because I tend to use the lightest color to brush over top and blend the colors, so for not caring about painting it over the image outline since I usually cut out the images for my projects.

Skin tone: E11, E00, E000, Distress ink


Outline - W00, W1, W5, Distress Ink

Hair & Crown- YR24, YR23, Y17, Y00

Wedding Gown - BG93, W5, W1, W00

Bouquet - R59, R14, R02, G99, G21

Ok, that's all I have to share with you today and hope you like this post :o) Thank you for stopping by today and hope to see you again soon!

Closer view of this darling image. I've added stickle on her dress trim.

I used 3 ribbons/trims on the side (I laid a piece of fibre on top of the lace on the left) and put buttons, rhinestones & pearl flower on top. I actually sprayed glimmer mist on the lace trim on the left to dye it a little orange to match the cardstock. This lace originally is white.

Added more rhinestone flower & pearls on the side

Handmade flowers Tutorial

Good morning everyone. As I promised a few days ago from my Tilda card post, here is the tutorial of for the handmade flower embellishment. Sorry that you only see one hand on these pictures as I was taking my camera on one hand and doing the tutorial on the other hand at the same time ;-p

You need flower punches (any petal shapes), Glitter Mists (Golden Terracotta) & (Pearl), Stickle and Distressing Ink (not shown)

Step 1: spray a very light layer of Golden Terracotta glitter mist on a plastic sheet.
Step 2: Spread the paper petals on the plastic sheet and then spray the Pearl glitter mist all over the petals.

Step 3: Make sure to spray the pearl mist, so that the petal is wet enough.
Step 4: Scrunch each petal into a little ball while they are still wet.

Step 5: Once you scrunched all the petals, wait for a couple minutes.
Step 6: Open each petal and at the same time shape them into a real petal shape with your hand to add more dimension.

Step 7 & 8: When you finished shaping the petal, spray another layer of mist to make them more sparkly.

Step 9: For distressing look of the flower: paint the petal edges with distressing ink, then assemble the different sizes of petals together into a flower
Step 10: For glittery look of the flower: paint the petal edges with stickle (see right below)

Here are the semi finished flowers (distressing on the left and glittery flower on the right). It doesn't seem so sparkly on this picture, but it actually is quite sparkling. Final step to finish these flowers is to add a rhinestone or pearl in the middle, then you are done :o)

Hope you like what I prepared for you today and have fun trying them out. Thank you so much for stopping by today and will share more if there are more ideas :o)
