What I received from Melanie Tan

Last saturday morning, my hubby passed to me a big box when the postman came to my house, I was so curious what is it and when I noticed the sender was Melanie, my curiousity was so high because she was supposed to send a CARD to me only not a big box!!!!!I opened wrap papers and have a big shout of OH OH OH:-)

I quickly took my digital camera and took my action.A really beautiful ,beautiful box filled with goodies and a beautiful and creative card shown in front of me!! Melanie is so talented and creative. She made a wedding dress using the patterned paper I sent as the lower part of the dress and added vellum to have a satin look, very very clever and creative idea.I do hope, yes, I wish that Melanie consider cardmaking as her hobby now and forever...

This is actually a NNCC ( Card Swap).Thank you Melanie.


Big beautiful box with gift and card for me:-)

Inside the wrapping paper was

A Golden Moment

Phew!!! I finally had the time to make the card for little extra from DCM featured on Tuesday.

Here is the challenge:

This time we are giving you just One Word as the inspiration for your card making and that word is GOLDEN You can use the word in any way you like - the word itself doesn't even have to be on the card, for instance you could make a card in golden shades, or maybe inspired by the seasons of Spring or Autumn which both feature lots of golden colours. Or maybe you could make a card to celebrate a Golden Anniversary, and of course Gold is a great colour for Christmas cards.....It's up to you - just go for Gold .

Thank you Daring Cardmakers!!

I used a really GOLD paper and oh my, it took me hours to scan and photograhed the photos. After the scanning the gold paper looks so weird on picture,but very details, I was not happy with the result, so I took my digital camera and make some shots.

Scanned

Patterned Papers: Anna Griffin,Origami Gold Paper

Flowers: Bazzill

Thank you rub-on: 7 Gypises

Autumn ATC

I have a long time didn't making ATC, I don't know why. Tonight , I tried to make 2 autumn ATC and I want to show you one of them :-) I think I have started to enjoy making ATC, fun and easy.

I used walnut ink to make the background on aida cloth, let dried. Then I stamped the leaves on it with various colors-autumn colors ,for sure. This was my very first attempt to stamp on aida cloth.Wording-ribbon glued on top of the aida cloth before added the skeleton leaf.

Here is the ATC:

Foam Stamps(leaves): Unknown source
Walnut Ink,wording-ribbon, skeleton leaf
Ink Pad: Distress Ink, Stamping Up-Pumkin Pie,Imprintz.
