Card Making Tutorial at AVJ

Hi everyone,
Today I’m over at A Vintage Journey with this month’s card making post. I always make cards for family and friends, so I’m pleased to be sharing an insect card that I made for my son. He is very interested in insects and expects to become an entomologist in the future. I want to encourage him to work hard for his dreams.

I hope that you’ll pop over to A Vintage Journey to see my tutorial which includes lots more photos and full details of how this card came together. If you are interested, you can also find a full list of materials that I used below.

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

Ann

哈囉! 大家好:

這次ATC交換的主題是我的包。我找不到適合ATC大小的印章，所以這次就用刀模來製作我的包。

我先用布膠帶切出包包，這組布膠帶已經買了很久，都沒機會用，趁著這次ATC交換拿出來做包包。切完後在包包上蓋上我的英文名字第一個字母"A"，感覺這樣才像"我的包"。(這個步驟忘了拍照)

背景的部分，我用灰色卡紙及淺灰色印台蓋背景章。在上下邊緣蓋印。中間的部分燙凸，這次想做出櫥窗的感覺，所以選用了亮晶晶的Silver Tinsel。最後用StazOn蓋上模特兒衣架章，貼上包包就完成了。希望大家喜歡。

Hi everyone,
It’s time for another fun challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m so happy to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #29 Anything Goes + 
3-D Project (jewelry, gift box, canvas, gift bag, home décor, etc.). I used some Sizzix die-cuts to make this 3-D home decor. Hope you like it.

Here is a quick tutorial :
Apply acrylic paints all over the wood plate. When it dry enough, rubbing the surface with sandpaper that will has a cracking effect.

Tap four colors of Distress Ink side-by-side onto the surface of my non-stick craft sheet. With a spray bottle of water, spritz the surface of the ink. Place my watercolor paper face down onto the puddle of pigment, and gently press to transfer the color onto the surface of the paper. Use a heat tool to dry the watercolor paper completely. Then stamp the sun image onto watercolor paper and heat emboss it with gold powder.

Make the feeling of wilderness desert with Seth's baked embossing powders.

Splashing black acrylic paint with a watercolor pen randomly.

Die-cut the dinosaur and dry embossing it with an embossing folder.

Die-cut the leaves and flowers.

Stamping the birds....and drawing them as a pterodactyl with a black pen.

Here is the close-up.

Until Next Time,
