HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hi everyone,
The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog design team is excited to bring you our "Find The Hidden Treasure" Blog Hop! We're being sponsored by Pink Gem Designs! Come hop with us for a chance to win 2 single Pink Gem Designs images!

There are three gems hidden somewhere on our blogs. As you hop, look on each design team member's blog to find a hidden gem and be sure to leave some love while you're there! Once you have found all three gems, email the locations where you found the gems (blog names and blog links) to ltscb@mail.com. All the correct guesses will be entered into the drawing for the Pink Gems Designs images!
The LTSCB designers are using gemstones on our inspiration projects. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a project using gemstones for an EXTRA entry into the drawing! **Be sure to use the same email address to email your guesses that you use to link up your project so we can make sure you're given two entries into the drawing!**

I'm so happy to share my card for you. I used Winter Chole by Pink Gem Designs ,colored the image with Copic Marker and dry embossing the background with embossing folder. Hope you like it.

我很喜歡復古風，所以用Pion Design的美編紙做了一張卡片。我很高興跟大家分享我的DT作品。在接下來的2週，我們在Scrapping4fun Challenge #49有一個有趣的挑戰，你可以使用任何品牌的美編紙。
Hi everyone,
I love "vintage style" very much, so I used Pion Design's Scrapbooking Paper to make a card. I'm so happy to share my DT inspiration project for you. For the next 2 weeks,we have a fun challenge over at Scrapping4fun Challenges #49 - Use any Name Brand Scrapbooking Paper.

鋼筆頭的部分，我用浮水印台蓋印後燙凸，刷上底色後剪下做成。撕下中間的圖案的邊緣，用Archival印台刷邊製造較深的效果，它提供了一個很好的對比。底層的美編紙，我用Paper Distresser刮邊再刷色，製造出仿舊的效果。

I stamped the pen nibs image using VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad and embossing it with embossing powder, using Distress Ink direct to paper and cut them down.
The edges of the intermediate layer were torn and rubbed with Archival Inks to get a darker effect, which provides a nice contrast. The bottom of pattern paper, I used Paper Distresser to distress edge and rubbed with Archival Inks to create a vintage effect.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Ann

Summer vacation - canvas

Eureka Challenge #154 Top 5

大家好:
暑假已經接近尾聲了，希望大家都過得非常充實! 接下來兩個星期 Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog 的挑戰是 Anything Goes! 沒有主題，很高興在此分享我的示範作品，我用的圖案是Kith & Kin Stamp Co.的數位章Surfer Rory，希望大家一起來創作。

Hi everyone,
Summer vacation is almost over,  I hope you all had a great time!

For the next 2 weeks (Aug 17-30)，We have a fun challenge over at Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog LTSCB #60- Anything Goes! I'm so happy to share my DT inspiration project for you. I used Surfer Rory by Kith & Kin Stamp Co. . Hope you like it!

我做了一個以夏天為主題的混合媒材畫布。我在畫布上塗一層Gesso，用熱風槍吹乾。在塗完Dina的壓克力顏料後，我用型版將Molding Paste塗在背景上。最後，我將沙、貝殼和刀模切下的沙灘鞋裝飾上去。

I created a summer themed mixed media canvas. I prepared this canvas with a layer of Gesso and heat set it. After colored the canvas with Dina Wakley's Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, I applying the Molding Paste with stencil on the background. To finish off, I added some sand, sea creatures and flip flops.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!

Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Ann

我用Tim的Bird Crazy印章做了一張卡片，我很喜歡這些小鳥，但是他們看起來有些憂鬱，所以我加了一些有趣的字章。謝謝許多朋友給我的建議，但是因為我沒有合適的中文字章，所以我用了Dyan的DON'T HOLD BACK這組字章。希望大家喜歡。

Hi everyone,

I created a card using the Bird Crazy stamp set from Tim Holtz. I just loved this little bird, but it looked so worried and confused that I had to had some fun sentiment. Thanks for many of my friends gave me suggested sentiments, but I don't have those stamp in chinese, so I used Dyan Reaveley DON'T HOLD BACK Cling Stamp. Hope you like it.

我第一次用"顏彩"這組水彩，真的還蠻好上色的。

This is my first time to use Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor. It's not bad!!
