This is the second post that I use an embossing folder to make card. The first post was inking on the card that was already embossed. The link for the first post, Embossed 3D thank you card, is at the end of today's post. This time I am using the ink then emboss technique which has created the unique look.
利用壓凸板上色是一個非常特別的技巧，有別於先壓凸再上色，這次直接上顏色在壓凸板上效果非常特​別

First, stamp the ink on the vally side of embossing folder, then sandwich white card stock in between and run it through the machine. If some area was missing the ink, the same process can be repeat untill you get the look you desire. In my case, I have it done twice.

利用壓凸板平滑的那一面(圖案下凹面)上顏色，在過機器時直接將顏料像蓋印的方式印在紙張上也同一時間壓凸，效果非常特別。這個過程可以重複進行直到顏色達到你想要覆蓋的面積。

These are the cards that I made for friends who’s birthday is in Spring. By the meteorological calendar, March to May are the Spring season. To welcome the arrival of Spring, my cards showcase flowers and vibrant color.
三到五月是回暖的春季，為歡迎春天的來臨，特別製作和花有關的生日卡。春天是萬花盛開的季節，祝福壽星們生日快樂，春風滿面～

I simply used Altenew 4.5" wide washi tape to cover entire cardstock. By using different color cardstock, it showed very different look with the same washi tape. I have die cut some flowers and leaves from Alexandra Renke and sentiments from Simon says stamp.
這次決定使用Altenew大篇幅的紙膠帶，一張卡剛剛好一整面，再利用不同顏色的卡紙加上紙膠帶會有全新不同的面貌。再裁切一些Alexandra Renke的花刀模和SSS的生日祝福句子，就可以進行組合了。

For the background, I chose some leaves and pattern background stamp and used distress oxide ink to create more subtle look. After that all I need was assembling.
在組合卡片時發現框邊白色過於單調，所以找了一點葉子和圖紋的背景章，用復古氧化印台蓋印若隱若現的圖案，加強了卡片的整體表現。

Here are the completed cards, side by side showing the same washi tape with different color cardstock.
並排三組使用同一款紙膠帶加不同底卡色​完成的卡片，效果完全不同。

I have die cut the butterfly from concord and 9th which is the perfect size for A2 card. First I color them either using copic or color card stock. Then adding glitter paint on top to gain more shine.

For the flower, I have used wreath builder from Gina k design. I used two stamp sets for the background. One is Kaisercraft and the other is Gina K.

I have joined a group sometime last year, where all the members can make birthday cards for other members who's birthday are at that month. These are the cards that I've made for my crafty friends. Sending birthday cards to crafty friends and receiving birthday cards from your crafty friends is awesome.  Let me tell you, this is as much fun as you can get. 

The details

I’ve decided to use Hero Arts monthly hero kit, February kit, for birthday card. I absolutely love this kit, you can make many different cards. First, I die cut a paper and stamp the newspaper background on the front and the top portion of the paper to create newspaper-like wrapping paper for the bouquet. Second, embossing the happy birthday sentiment with white embossing powder onto black card stock and then die cut it into sentiment flag. Finally, die cut some bows for the decoration.

For the bouquet, I've die cut the flowers and leaves using color cardstock then applied the detail with sponge and ink. After that, simply glue the flower to the stem. The rest is easy assembly, in no time the bouquet is ready. Finally, I've made some background A2 cardstock using stencil and Nuvo expanding mousse. The texture definitely adds some dimensions and interest to the card.  

I am very please with the outcome. I hope my friends will like them as well.

第二十場的ATC交換題目是熊熊，當下是想到習維尼😂不過不是我的菜所以就想些別的，說到熊印章我也不少但要走可愛風還是經典風，就讓我考慮了很久🤔後來是在路上看到櫥窗展示擺了一隻泰迪熊🧸才決定就是他啦！最經典的泰迪熊～

這個就是我看到的櫥窗展示，是不是跟我做的蠻接近的XD 我希望製造出一張好像是貼紙貼在紙上的感覺，如果説先上色再剪下來貼上去也是可以有貼紙的感覺，但我希望是有貼紙的亮面材質感，我應該怎麼做呢？繼續看下去吧⋯⋯

這次使用Stampin up baby bear 章組，層次蓋印的方式來處理泰迪熊的絨毛，第一層使用深咖啡色把深色影子先勾出來，再用淺色打光一下～

最後面積最大的章本來應該是用更淺的顏色蓋印，我改成蓋浮水印台加透明凸粉，再使用熱風槍燙凸整隻泰迪熊

利用Emboss resist 這樣子泰迪熊就看起來像亮面材質了，但是還不夠立體，emboss resist的好處就是燙凸之下的圖案會被保護，外面做什麼都不會被影響，決定使用格子型版刷色，讓整體看起來更經典，刷完之後再用乾布或乾紙巾將泰迪熊擦乾淨，顏色很自然地從燙凸表面去除。之後再把事先蓋印及剪好的紅色緞帶和字句放上去就完成囉！做完之後還真有點捨不得送出去，還好有多留給自己，收到的人希望你也喜歡。💕

Unlike CAS card, this card has no white space, completely cover with ink and other medium. First, entire watercolor paper was filled with distress oxide ink using blueprint sketch, mermaid lagoon, hickory smoke and evergreen bough. Then stamped the image using AALL & Create #54, #60 and #115. Wait for the ink to dry then spread some dreamweaver pearlescent embossing paste using palette knife with Tim holtz mini stencil THMS006 dotted design. Finally, distressing the paper to create altered paper edge and a sentiment then was added to the card.

Thank you for visiting~

It is a super clean and simple but very eye candy birthday card. All I used was one die and one sentiment stamp to create CAS card. The die is a tear drop shape with decorative design. It can be use as many way, in this case I have used it as a butterfly or petals with some similar color cardstock. And select a sentiment to place or stamp on the open area. Then the card is complete, simple and clean as is. :)

這次選出來的心章，背景章以及ATC卡背面的章如下，背景章真的是必備工具。

先在水彩紙上用浮水印台蓋印背景章再使用白色和珍珠色燙凸粉燙凸，之後使用復古氧印台先塗抹在抗熱墊上噴水，再用水彩紙沾抹顔料，同時使用水彩筆加強局部​。很多款印台都可用於拖染技法，這次選擇用復古氧化印台，blueprint sketch、cracked pistachio、wilted violet、peacock、squeezed lemonade、spiced marmalade

～再看一下大合照～

謝謝觀賞！

I had a dream the other day that butterflies were reborn from flowers. All the butterflies would have vivid color when they flew out of flower. It is almost like the petal had color-dyed the butterflies. Interesting dream I’ll say.

It is quite simple for this card. Simply blend the color using stencils and distress oxide ink pad. Then stamp the flower with black ink at last. There were only two tips and tricks for making this card. 1. Using distress oxide ink pad because the color will sit on top of previous layer, the butterflies will be more visible on the petal. 2. Stenciling first then stamping the image. The reason is simple, stencil is not flexible, if you stamp the image first, it might not match perfectly with stencil. However, clear stamp is more flexible, matching to the stencil blended area is a simple task.

My world is more colorful with you in it. ^^

This is a quick and easy card. Using any landscape stamp as background and any large stamp as focal point. In this case I have used Stampin Up Mediterranean Moments and Hero arts Spill the tea stamp set.

Simply stamp the background in grey color and blend the edge with distress ink pad in vintage photo to get an old photo look. Then coloring the tea cup any color you desired and raise the cup with thick foam pad to add some dimension. After that, complete the card with a strip of sentiment.  Fast and easy as is. 

Thank you for visiting and happy crafting~

這個月的ATC交換卡是用型版來創作。想了一下型版的用法可多了🤔 可以和浮雕膏，裂劑合用，也可以遮掩或蓋印也可以壓凸但時間不夠所以選擇了最基本的上色方式。

選擇了幾款型版和幾色比較喜歡的氧化印台用刷子簡單刷上色。

今次使用memory box的小刀模為主題，有精靈，貓頭鷹，麋鹿和兔子，非常可愛～

最後再來一張大合照

Thank you for visiting~

其實這個月的ATC的題目基本上是可以很容易發揮的因為是無題自由發揮但尺寸卻非常具有挑戰性。這一次所要求的尺寸是圓形而且只有2.5吋是現在相當流行的Artist trading coin。在收到這個題目之前我就一直很想做一種會動的剛好就直接用在這次的題目上。會不會太小？不好發揮？是有它的挑戰性但做了就對了😆因為挑戰成功收到的滿足感也是極大的啊！

這些是大致上用到的工具：紙張、燙凸粉、柔毛刷、印章、刀模和打洞器。

將切好的圓形用復古氧化印台刷色，再用型板製作花紋。

將事先切好的20個圓圈灑上燙凸粉製作蝴蝶的外框。蝴蝶也上色準備好，再進行圓圈與蝴蝶顏色配對。

將剩餘的20個圓圈⭕️綁上魚線，蝴蝶中心對準魚線貼上蝴蝶再將另一隻蝴蝶貼另一面，之後將凸粉外框黏在白框上面遮住魚線。最後將所有配件用孔眼組合起來。

最後在底座與蝴蝶上下對調的方向蓋上印章。這樣就完工了。灑花～🎉
過程看起來很複雜，其實都是重複動作，做順了還蠻快就完成了😊

其他氧化印台顏色的組合

這是被我刪除的步驟，做一兩個還好要做20個，layering stamp 太慢了，全部改成手繪比較快。

這是雛形1跟雛形2。1號本來做蝴蝶與字同一方向的，發現在收圈圈時蝴蝶是倒吊的才改成雛形2。
雛形2的底座原本是用紙膠帶完成發現厚度太厚金屬孔眼負荷不了才改成現在的刷色做法。

上個月的ATC交換題目是"外太空"，所以將背景弄成外太空的樣子，再依夢想為故事與外太空無邊境結合，希望夢想丶命運掌握在自己的手裡。

四張ATC 的故事分別為～
Dream big 遠大的夢想
My soul is in the sky 我的靈魂屬於無止盡的天空
Let your dreams take flight 讓你的夢想起飛
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves 掌握著我們命運的不是天上的星星而是我們自己

用三個氧化印台salty ocean丶mustard seed 和picked raspberry無規則的刷滿一整張，再切成ATC的尺寸。

再將邊緣刷上black soot的顏色，中間不規則形狀留住彩色的部分。之後灑水用紙巾吸乾了再用白色壓克力加點水灑在卡上並吹乾。

用銀色亮粉壓克力顔料加水灑在卡上並吹乾，呈現出來的效果有如星際一般，這樣背景就完成了。接下來就可以放字章和主題章了～

感覺上放了很多照片，但都拍了。不放的話好像對不起自己啊!😆 其實這次的ATC 還隱藏了個㊙️密，不知道有收到卡的朋友們有沒有人發現呢？㊙️密就在⋯⋯

小小提示：有黑暗才能看到光明
​請容許稍後揭曉^^

Update:
這次的ATC 我用了螢光凸粉，所以在電燈下照光一陣子之後就會看到星星的出現囉～
