The Ton September Challenge Guest Design- Mood Board

Hello, there !

I'm honored to be guest designing in the new September Challenge at The Ton's Blog, as I was the winner at The Ton's July challenge.

This month's theme is a Mood Board seen below. Click the images to link back to the challenge post.

What a gorgeous autumn mood board full of inspirations!

When I first saw these photos, I couldn't decide what theme to choose, each was so fabulous, so I once considered making a mood board card again like what I made in July's challenge. 

But how boring it is to make another same card! 

So, here is my take on the challenge.

I wanted my card to be full if autumn mood with harvest of blessings.

First, I cut a 4×5.25 inch panel from natural card stock paper, and stamped mini solid images from Autumn Foliage Stamps set. 

I gave some gradation in each image using 2~3 inks of similar colors, which is also called "multi color stamping" technique. I really love how it came out, so these days I often use this technique in my cards :) 

Next, I stamped a big image from Thankful Cornucopia Stamps set on a white copic friendly paper, then colored it using copic markers. 

Main colors I used are as below;

Cornucopia : E31, E33, E35, E37, E59, E79

Largest Pumpkin : YR21, YR24, YR27

Small pumpkins : YR09, YR07, YR04 / YR18, YR68

When copic coloring was done, I die cut it using Jumbo Fishtail Banner dies, rounded a string and tied a bow. 

On a woodgrain brown card base, I foam mounted the background panel, then foam mounted the fishtail banner with main image on it. Then I added some gold heat embossed sentiment tag. Final touch was adding some sequins. 

That's it. 

Thanks for reading this post.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you for inviting me as a guest designer for the September Challenge. 

I'm very honored to be with you, The Ton Team!

The Ton July Challenge - Second Card

Hello!

Today I'm sharing another card I made for entry into the Tons July Challenge where the cue is "Mood Board".

For detailed information about the challenge, you can read my previous post or click the image below.

I expressed pink & purple, flowery, girlish mood in my card. So here is my take on the challenge.

I used "Haute Stacks", "Sending Peonies", "Marvelous Perfumes" stamps sets in this card.

Background was watercolored and main images were colored with copic markers.

That's it.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading this.

The Ton July Challenge - Mood Board

Hello and welcome to my blog.
Today I'm sharing a card to submit to The Ton July Challenge.
This month's theme is to get inspiration from a mood board shown below.
(Click the image to link to the challenge) 

So, here is my take on the theme.
Since I was so moved by the inspiration mood board, I decided to make my own mood board in this card.

Among lots of inspiration I get from the mood board, I chose several objets which are girlish, balloons, heart, flowers, shoes, stacks, and pink.

I stamped each image on a copic friendly card stock, color them using copic markers, cut squares or rectangles around the images. 

I then prepared A2 sized panel, distressed it with distress inks, added splatters of water, then I foam mounted pieces onto the panel and then foam mounted again onto a white card base.

Final touch was putting some sparkling sequins.

Thanks for reading this post.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Guest Designing at Colorthrowdown Challenge - CTD451

Hello and welcom to my blog.

Today I have a happy news that I'm guest designing for this week's Colorthrowdown Challenge, CTD451.

Since I've loved the CTD color combos and beautiful works by talented design team ladies, I feel so honored for this opportunity. 

The current challenge colors are shown in the image below, which are dark pink, pale pink, green, and white.

(Click the image to link to the challenge site)

So this is my card for the colors.

I used "Dearest Peony" stamp from the Ton. 

To do no-line watercoloring, I inked the stamp with distress inks antique linen for flower, shebby shutter for leaves. Then I stamped it onto a watercolor paper, then watercolored using zig clean brush markers. 

Then I added a little bit of shades using some polychromo pencils.

Next, I stamped sentiment from the same stamp set, rounded a string and put the panel onto a white card base. As a final touch, I put some Sparkling clear sequins mix from pretty pink posh here and there.

 Thanks for reading this post.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Please come to the CTD and have fun making cards with these gorgeous colors! :)

The Ton Stamps June Challenge #2 - Color palette

Hello and welcome !

I'm sharing my second card for the The Ton Stamps June challenge, of which the theme is Color Palette

This is the inspiration image.

And this is my take on it.

I made a shaker card using The Ton Stamps and Sequins.

First, I stamped Peony Garden Cling Background with versamark ink on a watercolor cardstock and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder.

Then I watercolored it using zig clean real brush markers and a waterbrush, diecut it to a A2 size panel. I made another panel and fussy cut a red peony for use as embelishment on the right upper coner of the card.

The big frame die in the card is from Mama Elephant's products.  

Sequins are Tropical Getaway Couture Mix, Vogue City Couture Mix,   Queen Anne's Lace Couture Mix all from the Ton Products.

I stamped Timeless Icons Sentiment with versamark ink on a black cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.

I love the sentiment so much.

"Everyday is a fashion show, and the world is a runaway"

I think this is really true for us crafters :)

Thank you for your stopby and reading this post.

I hope you have a good day !
