This is another set of sunflower field birthday card using Hero Arts sunflower field heroscape stamp set along with Grace's garden stamp and die set from Stampin Up.

Today I am sharing a country style birthday card with cottage gate and sunflower view. Using Hero Arts Sunflower Field stamp and garden fancy die.

Inside of card, you can see the whole view of Sunflower field. Behind the cottage gate, you can see kitten chatting with bird.

On the back of card, I have add a mini envelope to include wishes to the recipient 

After finish stamping, die cut a square that will fit inside of card. And before adhesive onto inside of card, temporary positioning it at the front, so I can tell where I should cut out the window.

Supplies:
Hero Arts Sunflower Field HeroScape Stamp Set CM411
Hero Arts Garden Fancy die DI594
Stampin Up Grace's Garden Stamp Set 151513
Poppystamps Whittle Birds Craft die 2190

這一次決定嘗試做一張4x8.5寸的長尺寸卡片。現在算是蠻夯的一個尺寸。從來沒有做過，原因是⋯⋯沒有信封可以買XD. 所以特地為此手工做了信封給它。完成之後發現長尺寸卡片非常適合風景卡可以囊括所有景觀，有興趣的朋友可以試試。
​

特別用燙凸粉顯示沙子的視覺感摸起來也很像，非常好玩。唯一不足的是應該在夕陽再加上橘色系會更有層次。但因已上了distress micro glaze，要更改是不太可能了，就當作下次再做一張的理由吧！

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.

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～

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. ^^
