To Melissa

It is with so sadness that I begin this post with the news of the passing of Stamplorations team member Melissa Lane .

Last October 2, Melissa Lane passed away. She was a talented cardmaker/crafter/artist, a mother of 4, wife, and servant of Jesus. 

Melissa loved to garden and she loved photography. Her favorite color was red, and she loved butterflies -- so much so that many of the cards and other projects she made had butterflies in them.

She was a valuable part of STAMPlorations -- in the 2 years we were blessed to have her on the Mixed Media team, she created some of most gorgeous mixed media projects around and she shared her knowledge through the tutorials she wrote.

If you knew Melissa when she was alive -- maybe you were on the same design team(s) or you were bloggy friends -- however you knew her, we'd like to invite you to join us in celebrating her life by creating a butterfly card in her memory.

I made a butterfly card for Melissa.

I was in a same challenge team (Happy Little Stampers) with Melissa for a year and half, and since then I have been contacted with Melissa through Facebook and Instagram.

Today I happy to join National coffee day blog hop from Coffee loving cardmakers blog.

I made two cards using Stay Cozy digital stamp set and Fall wishes digital stamp set from Graciellie design.

I used Stay Cozy digital stamp set.

To create this card first, I open the file, resize them and printed the digital stamp images with my printer on a white card stock. The coffee cup and the tag image printed each two sets of the same size for paper piercing technique.

I cut appropriate colored papers to the cut picture with my Cutter Bee scissors and I blended the edges with Distress inks using mini blending tools. 

I adhere the cut papers on the based image using double-sided tape and foam tape.

I used this stamp set :

Here is my second card.

To create this card first, I open the file, resize them and printed the digital stamp images with my printer on a white card stock. And then I colored the images with Copic markers and color pencils. After that I drew some dots with white gel pen and fussy cut them with my Cutter Bee scissors.

Stamplorations Guest designing6

Hello everyone!

Happy Wendnesday!!!

Today I want to share my projects as a Guest DT of Stamplorations.

I made three cards using Floral Bliss stamp set and The birds and the blooms stamp set.

Here is my first card :

I stamped a flower with Floral Bliss clear stamp set using masking technique and colored with Copic makers and color pencils. 

For the sentiment, I stamped 'Best withes' and cut with a paper trimmer and adhere with double-sided foam tape.

Here is my second card :

To create this card, I stamped beautiful flowers on the white card stock, colored with Copic markers and colored pencils and fussy cut them with my Cutter Bee scissors.

For the background, I colored lines with Kuretake watercolors and water brush on a watercolor paper. I added some ink splatters over the watercolor panel and after the watercolor paper dried all, adhere the flowers on the watercolor paper.

Here is my last card today.

I stamped the blossom using Tattered rose distress ink for no-line watercoloring and colored with Kuretake watercolors.

I added blue ink spatters all over the panel, and added some shiny sequins.

I hope you enjoy my post today.
