Things with wings

For the Paper play challenge "Things with wings", I'm taking a twist on it. Instead of using stamped images or stickers that have wings, I'm using a very cute crochet butterfly for this birthday card. I got this butterfly from AmiyaSara store online. To complement the dimension of the butterfly, I've made the "happy birthday to you" sentiment more prominent by having the hearts sticking out.

Hope you like it.

Ribbon, Stripes, purple

Saw a quite interesting card challenge from allsorts challenge. It's called color bingos. From the bingo grid, select a line in any direction or four corners. So I picked ribbon, stripes and purple.

Here is my take on it:

I got some purple card stock from last time I made a purple card, and then use dry embossing to give some patterns on the paper. Also, I've got crocheted flowers from AimyaSara Etsy store.

Preparing for Father's Day

It's been a while since my last post. Life has been busy and also I've almost done with the cards that I have to give out for the first half of the year, so I got lazy. :P But I can imagine I'll have more posts starting in Aug.. to prepare Christmas cards. :) geez.. I can't believe I'm talking about Christmas already!!

Anyways, I'm participating 2 challenges:
1) Less is more - color challenge (3 shades of green)
I wanted to find a green card stock to be the background, but couldn't find one that quite match, so I'm using a pale yellow card stock instead. The strip patterned paper has a few shades of green. And I've brushed some green ink on the edge for the "happy father's day" flag.





2) Another challenge is Clean and Simple sketch challenge.

Butterflies punch

My sis is not into craft but she got this Martha Stewart butterflies punch some time ago, and lent it to me. It's just adorable!! Back to the challenge, this week's "less is more" challenges is punches and diecuts. After punching the strip of butterflies, I stamp some pink ink on top. I just love it. I hope I didn't make the card too bad to spoil it.

Bundle of Joy

I'm making a baby card for a friend who's having a baby boy. It's always a pleasure to make baby cards, cuz it's really something to celebrate. But at the same time, since I've finished the scrapbook for my son, I have lots of baby boy related stuff in my stock, I had a hard time to pick which one I wanna use.

Anyway, here is my take on the Clean and Simple challenge:
