FTTC200 - Deck the Tree




Hello and happy Tuesday everyone~
It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge (FTTC200)! It is my turn to host and I am challenging you to make an ornament or any 3D project that is decorated on a Christmas tree.
Please visit Flourishes blog for more information about the challenge.


My ornament was used Petals & Peace set. I also used the coordinating die, Classic Keyhole die set and Spellbinders dies to design the ornament. The image was stamped with Memento tuxedo black on classic white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped on the vellum paper. To finish off, I embellished the rhinestones and gold ribbon for the hanging.








Copic colors I used for this project:

SNSS Graceful Calla Lily




Hello everyone~
I have one card to show you today. I made this for the Sweet 'N Sassy Blog post and it was used the colors that were Sandy Hook Elementary school colors (Green & White). I am still sad about what happened there last Friday, but instead of depressing about it, I keep praying for the parents, family and friend who have lost those precious lives. I hope they will find some peace and comfort one day.

All we have right now is truly a gift. We are promised nothing. I need to remind of myself to be thankful & grateful what we have had and for what is left every single day.


I used Graceful Calla Lily set for the card. The image was colored with Copic markers. I usually use E40, 41, 43 to get more depth on white image. To finish off, I simply tied the ribbon.



Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Cards & SCS Challenges



Hello everyone~
I had a couple cards I want to show you today! I have submitted a couple challenges from Splitcoaststampers with them. All stamped images and sentiments of both cards are from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.


The first card (above) was used Snow Special set and I used the color combination from Color Combination Challenge 405 (CC405). I stamped the snowman with light shade ink (Memento desert sand) and colored with Copic markers. My coloring skill are not that great but I like the soft look that lighter ink brings...It almost looks like it was water colored.









The next card was used Poinsettia set and used the sketch from Sketch Challenge 415 (SC415).  I found a beautiful holiday paper and I cut it to the word "Merry Bright" was on the bottom of card. The image was colored with Copic markers and I added the ribbon to dress up the mat. To finish off, I simply stamped the greeting on the top of the card.










At last but not least, one more Christmas card! I actually made this one for a while ago but I never posted on my blog. I used Christmas Candle set. The card was used the sketch from Sketch Challenge 413 (SC413). The image was die cut with the coordinating die, Christmas Light Candle die.  I fuss cut the greeting and added the tea roses for the embellishment.






Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great weekend.

FTTC199 - Non-Traditional Christmas



Hello everyone~
It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge (FTTC199)!! I took a few weeks off from this challenge but I am glad to be back! I hope you remember me, lol.

It is Ally's turn to host and she is challenging us to make a Christmas/holiday card with non traditional Christmas colors - no red or green here ;)
Please visit Flourishes blog for more information about the challenge.



For my card, I used purple and blue. The stamp image was from Peace & Joy set and I stamped it on the classic white cardstock with Memento tuxedo black. It was colored with Copic markers. The rest of the card was created with  CME Crocus paper collection and MME designer paper.  For the embellishments, I used the white scalloped lace trim and light blue crochet lace. Then the silver swirl rhinestones were dressed on them to finish off.
