Embossed Vellum Wedding Card


I made this card for a subordinate who will get married soon. Even though the card is clean and simple, it is indeed gorgeous as I added glitters to the white embossing powder, making it sparkle and shine. (It's a pity the photo did not do it justice!)
 

Hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great week ahead.

Flower background, die cut and texts are all by Hero Arts.

Hope Your Day is Awesome


I made this card for the following challenges:

1. CAS Mix Up Stamping + Ghosting + Your Choice
I used the same technique as demonstrated by Loll, except that I made two background papers in one time by flipping the all-wet stencil over the second distressed background paper. It is fun and saving time. The two water-stenciling or ghosting background papers are shown below.


 
  My choice is watercoloring via wet brushing.
2. CAS Colours and Sketches #195

  
3. Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge – Nature
  
4. CAS Watercolor Challenge – Autumn



The watercolor butterflies were done simply by using wet watercolor brush to spread the distress colors.

Here is another baby boy card for my subordinate. The card is also for the following challenges:

1. Fab Friday Challenge #97

2. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Anything Goes
3. CASology Challenge Week #217 – Cute
  
 My baby card does not look cute. But a baby is cute by any standard. So I think the card is still qualified. :)
4. That’s Crafty – All of a Sparkle Challenge
The glitters sparkle like diamonds. It's a pity the photo did not do it justice.

Card Details

1. Baby clothes is by Stampin’ Up. Text and die cut are by Hero Arts. Stencil is by The Crafters’ Workshop.
2. Even though the card is clean and simple, I managed to applied embossing paste over a stencil, then sprinkled some ultrafine glitters over the paste. This made me feel artsy!

Hope you like this card. Thanks for stopping by.
