PDC Challenge



 Today I have made a very quick and simple card. I took less than 30 min to complete this card. I have to embossed it twice to get the perfect card outcome. There is minimal embellishment on the card. I only used white stitching and half back pearl to complete the whole card look. 

What do you think?

I did not enter any new challenge this week as I was away for a short holiday. But I have managed to drum up a special project for my special and dear friend who is celebrating her first birthday as Mrs C and away from home....

I hope she has a wonderful time and will love this card.

I mainly used PTI products in this birthday card and lots of paper cutting. Verdict...I love this project. It make me want to fly away to see my dear friend in Japan...

The Play Date Cafe Challenge

The Play Date Cafe Challenge


Love this week challenge from PDCC. The design team has choose such a happy and fun colour to play with. Honestly I am not brave enough to used all this colours in one card.
Finally I have decided to use a black cardstock as a base card. This will able to accentuate the happy and fun colour.

I am using two type of embossing folders to create this card. I have stamped the Hedged Maze image with Brilliance - Sunflower Yellow ink pad and embossed again (twice) with clear embossing power. This is to create a shiny image. Then using the ribbon to hide away the in-between of the two embossed image.

Stamped the sentiment (from MFT) with Hibiscus Burst (PTI) ink pad. I have also re-colour the word "LOVE" with copic marker (R46) and outline the word 'LOVE'. I want to focus the word "LOVE" of the whole sentiment.

What do you think?  
Any suggestion for improvement or feedback will be welcome.

We never stop learning. 
Thank you.

Love,
Maria

I have added the glossy accent on my heart die to accentuate my heart. I am using Close to my heart - True Happiness - Grass stamp for the grass. I have stamp the grass twice (lighter and darker colour) so you can see the shadow effect on the grass.
I love the PTI stamps and dies and also AmyR sentiments. They matched well together. The above card is so chilling and relax.

 Just like the sentiments said...
I am just sitting here thinking of you!


Have a great weekend !

Bookmark for my bookworm hubby....




My dear hubby loved to read book...lots of it. He read while waiting for me, read in the car, read before bed, read while advertisement on, read in the toilet ...if he can read while sleeping he will. He love his books. All his book look like brand new book even after reading it several time. He loves his book very much. Sometime I am wonder he love me more or his books. I was never allowed to read his books because I tend to bend or fold the page. Well...sometime I do it purposely to make him angry.
 I love to see his reaction as he won't able to sleep or concentrate because he keep on thinking how to remove the fold line.
He will use sales receipt or tags from cloth to used as bookmark. Hence I decided to make him a fun and happy colour bookmark. 
I love the quote by MFT and they should made more of this type of stamp.  
If anyone know these type of stamps, whichever the brand, please let me know. Love to collect these type of stamps. 
So inspirational.

I am at CLOUD 9 .....







This week I have decided to enter CAS-ual Fridays Challenge and The Play Date Cafe Challenge. I was really inspired by their theme this week. I love the cloud and the colours for the challenge. I used PTI Cloud 1 & 2 die collection and filled the hole with facial cotton (I wanted to use cotton ball but I ran out of cotton ball and too much hassle to go out to buy for this purpose). Reason being I want to create puffy cloud. 
Hopefully my photo below will be able to justify my intention.

Looking forward for next week challenge for Cas-ual Friday and PDC Challenge.


Love,
Maria
