KS Monday – May 10th 2010

Hello and happy Kitchen Sink Monday everyone~

I hope you had a fabulous Mother’s day Sunday! My kids made strawberry cupcakes for me :):) They were so yummy and absolutely cute!! I attach the photo on the bottom if you want to check out :)

Today is my brother’s birthday! I haven’t celebrated his birthday together for over 15 years…Sometimes I wish I just fly to Tokyo to see him and back in one day…:( I miss him so much!! I hope he is having a wonderful birthday with his wife and 2 beautiful daughters!

Today’s card is a little different from ones I always create for KS Monday. After I saw the this tutorial by Beate Johns, I just had to try the beautiful 3D flowers for myself :):) I don’t have the same die she used but I found out I could cut flowers from my neglected Cricut machine! I used flower 2 (Shadow Blackout) from Georgia cartridge. I followed the tutorial HERE by Kathy Files. She has some great ideas using Cricut machine…and I got a lot of inspirations from her blog and video. I’m sure my hubby will be so happy if I start using the machine more ;) My daughter, Kimberly also loves to make those dimension flowers, too!!

After I cut the flowers with the distress designer paper from Basic Gray, I stamped with 3 Step Letter from the Past and Big & Bold Swashes and inked on the back with brayer. Then I started building the rose. You can easily customize your roses with some stamping and inking :):)

The sentiment from 3 Step Hearts & Roses was simply stamped on the white mat and the mat was dry embossed with the embossing folder.

すごいっ!とってもゴージャスですね!ブラウンのマットがバラの色をとってもきれいに浮き立たせていますよね。
こうしたバラのチュートリアルを、私もどこかで見たことがあって挑戦してみたいと思いながら、まだでした。Makiさんの作品を見て、また挑戦したい気持ちに火が付いてきました!
