CAS(E) this Sketch & Runway Inspired

Hello...Everyone, today is a sad post for me since this will be my first time stepping down on a design team
CAS(E) this sketch and Runway Inspired Challenge.
I just want to say THANK YOU to Chrissy and Jennifer, for they have given me a chance to grow
and learn lots with these challenges and I am very grateful :)

For these combined challenge...I really love how this turned out.
I hope that you will enjoy the sketch *-* wink..wink.

For my take, first I created a card base and heat embossed the new Wplus9 release Borders & Backgrounds 4 with white embossing powder on a black cardstock as a panel.

Then I created my own flower image using refill inks (papertrey ink & distress ink). After creating my own image on a watercolor paper. I simply fussy cut the flower and leaves image....though a lot of cutting, but its all worth it.

As for the sentiments I also used the new Wplus9 April release Hand Lettered Hello. Then for the final touch I did use some distress ink splatter after I dilute it with plenty of water.

Here's the full card.

I hope you enjoyed my card.
I cannot wait to see what you guys will create with this combined collaboration of challenges :)

Thank you so much for visiting me.
Have a Fabulous week creating :)

Runway Inspired Challenge #55 - Pamella Rolland

Hello...Everyone....
I hope you are enjoying your weather at your neck of the woods, its already spring here in Jacksonville
still a little chilly from time to time :) but the weather is pretty awesome.

For
Runway Inspired Challenge #55
we have a photo inspiration from Pamella Roland, so gorgeous and sophisticated, don't you think?

To start my card........

1. First I created a card base from a white cardstock and created a panel a little smaller than an A2 card.

2. I next stamped my sentiments using Wplus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths.

3. As for my glittered circle panel, I first cut a negative from a circle die-cut from Spellbinders circles then apply the versamark ink pad directly to the circle die-cut and heat embossed it with Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder.
4. After heat embossing with the Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder  then add the Martha Stewart White Gold Glitters then heat it up again with the heat gun to adhere the glitters onto the circle die permanently.

I really love the Martha Stewart White Gold Glitters because its not really silver its more like antique white gold, I got mine at Michaels :)

5. Next, I stamped the damask image from Wplus9 Damask Delight onto the piece of white cardstock  and just fussy cut.

6. I also die-cut the black bow from My Favorite Things Die-namics Dainty Bows.... perfect for the look I am going for to look a lot like a bow tie for weddings. Love <3

7. I then adhere my elements on top of the other with foam dots to add dimensions.

Here's the full image of the card.

I hope you enjoyed and like my take on this challenge.

Now its your turn to play :)

Runway Inspired Challenge #54

Hello...hello its time for another....

Runway Inspired Challenge!

Below are the pieces I used for my card....hope this helps you view it better :)

For the Memory Box Prized Chrysanthemum Outline die-cut, I have to cut five times because of

each of the color of the cardstock, then I just pick the petals and stick it to the outline piece by piece.

Then, I just assemble the elements on my card base adding dimensions on all my pieces.

Here is the full view of my card.

Runway Inspired Challenged #53

Hello Everyone....
Sorry I have been absent a while and late in the input of my take for

Runway Inspired Challenged

I do have a very good reason though I was finalizing my projects for my last days of school  and FINALLY done with school this past Tues. Already now am officially have my 
Bachelor of Science Degree in Software Engineering :)
So..so happy :) Now I need to get a job now to support my leisure of the crafty world...LOL!

OK, I am going to stop talking about me now :)


Moving on to the challenge...

So loving the inspiration photo....don't you?
 Love the fabulous colors and the design of the dress!

Temperley London

To start my card, I first stamped the  double line image from Wplus9 Country Charm to imitate the look of the dress.

For my next step, I then color my stamped line image using the Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Ink in Wild Plum "for the fuchsia" color. 

For the tip: I added some plain rubbing alcohol on my ink color to dilute it. It varies the colors depends on how much alcohol you use to dilute the inks....which is pretty cool :)

Here are the pieces for my card.
The main flowers I used is one of the image from the Wplus9 Hope Seed Co. 

For the middle of my flower  the Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Ink in Stream.  For the petals I used the Wild Plum, it varies with color by adding the regular Alcohol to dilute
the ink....I just played with it until I get the color I want. It dries really quick because the ink
is Alcohol base. Though you can also use your Copic markers with this type of ink since
Copic also is alcohol base.

I also added one of the image from the Wplus9 Lacey Layers, to add with my flowers. I then colored the whole stamped image with Copic E00.


As for the distressed panel, I used the Tim Holtz Distress ink in Dusty Concord. I only distress
half of the panel.

For the sentiment for my card I used one of the sentiments from
 the Wplus9 Very Vintage Florals.

Also entering this at Wplus 9 Comfort Zone Challenge.

Here is the full look of the card.

I hope you enjoyed my card.....

I think this is by far one of my favorite Runway challenge.

Runway Inspired Challenge #52

Hello...hello...Its time for another  

Runway Inspired Challenged

This time the photo inspiration is from

G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S

don't you think?

(photo source)

For this challenge I created my own images using my cheap watercolor palette from Michaels.

Let me show you how I did it.

First, I want to say please forgive me if my video is shaking this is my very first video attempt, and I could not find my tripod and I really want to show you instead of getting shots of each step process. I have to hold the video while I paint at the same time....I hope its not too painful to watch :(

" Sorry for my daughter, she didn't know I was doing a video."

Nevertheless, I hope this help gives you an idea on how I did my water-coloring flower image technique :)

My short video...

For this card  I used the sentiment from Avery Elle Save the Date.

Oh...the cardstock I used for water-coloring is the one from Michaels from the Recollections brand. 110lbs. Its OK, the cardstock is pretty thick it managed to hold my ink together, though got a little warp but easy fixed :). I just used a score-tape when I adhere on my card base to minimize the warping.

Here's the look of the full card.    

I made another card using the watercolor technique, I added some pearls to finish of the card. The sentiment is from PTI Table Service.

Here's the look of the full card.    

I hope you guys enjoyed my projects :)
