Happy father's day

Making a father's day card for my hubby.. I'm sure my son will make something at school for father's day. But I just love the cardstock.

I'm playing along with the retrosketches challenge.

I just discovered there are some nice features of my phone's camera. There are white balance, exposure, etc.  Although the picture quality is in no comparison with a DSLR, I'm happy that I can just take a photo of my card and post it to my blog. :) 

Paper players: Clean and Simple Masculine Challenge

It's the first time I played along in the Paper players challenge -- Clean and Simple Masculine Challenge.  I always find it's hard to make a masculine card.  But I'm quite happy with this one.

I got a set of green card stocks at Michael's a while ago, and I love it!  And the sentiment has black glitter on it, though it doesn't show very well in the picture. 

Frame it!

Got lots of inspiration in putting a frame in a card over at "Less is More" challenge blog.  Here is my take on it:



The card base used in this card is actually some textured paper which didn't show very well in the picture.  I think this will be good for a kid's birthday card.  Hope you like it.

Clean and simple

Work has been very hectic lately, so didn't really have time to make any cards or even to think about it.  With March break coming, I have an excuse to take some days off. :)   I like the sketch challenge from Clean and Simple blog because that's exactly the stickers I got a while ago.  

Here is a closer look.  I put some white glitter on the cloud. 

Hope you like it. 

Finding a good use of a flower punch

My friend got me a flower punch some time ago which I don't quite know how to use it.  I recently saw a few blog posts from the crafts site which gave me some inspiration. I've used different ink pad to stamp on the background paper and put the punched flower paper on top.  I quite like this effect. :)

Anyway, I'm playing along with the retrosketch challenge and Allsorts' "Lets Get Cute" challenge.  I guess the punched flowers qualify in the "cute" category.  Hope you like it.
