Hope your day shines

Yesterday, I played with the similar card with the one which I made the day before yesterday. 'Cause I made this partly, but not finished it.
I still enjoy the effects of a half transparency dots pattern. LOL.

昨日もするべき事が多く、でも、途中まで作っていたカードを夜遅くから続行。出来上がりましたが、昨日に引き続き、再び、もう朝です(^^;)

This is the card, 'Hope your day shines'.

A cupcake flower concerns my memory of my American friend whose father was the staff of the U.S. Consulate. We've been a good friend since we're 5 years old. At that time, the methods for communicating are a little English, the body language and drawing.
I'm gonna send this to her daughter.

The methods I took are masking, coloring by color pencils (crayon + watercolor), chalk inks, and stitching.

Happy Hello card

Again, I finished a card yesterday night for the 'one layer' challenge of the Hero Arts.
昨夜再び、カードを作成しました。似た要素を持っているグリーティング
・カードをもう1枚作っていたのですが、こちらは未だ完成に至らず・・。（^^;）
何しろ、もう直ぐ朝です。。。

This is the card, 'Happy Hello card - the Owl's sanctuary garden'.

There's a person entered hospital since yesterday in my family. I had to go and stayed there, so I colored this card in the hospital.

The methods I took are masking, coloring by color pencils (crayon + watercolor), chalk inks, and stitching.
I used the masking method at the sentiment part only.
Another parts are over-stamping. Because, I prefer the effect like the half transparency dots pattern of the mushrooms.

Again, I made a card yesterday night for the 'one layer' challenge of the Hero Arts.
昨夜再び、カードを作成しました。（笑）　突然のインスピレーション → 少々思考 → 作成、という状態が、最近の私の日常になっているようです。
作成したのは、お誕生日やアニバーサリー用のグリーティングカードです。(写真の状態があまり良くないですが・・・(^^;))

This is the card, 'Joyeux anniversaire - Anniversary card'.

I'm sorry this photo is not in good condition.
I created this for the birthday of the Hero Arts blog.

One layer card - Find Joy Everyday

I made a card for the Hero Arts this week's challenge, as usual. It seems that I fit it into my weekly schedule. LOL.
The project theme, this week is 'one layer'. - creating a ONE layer card.
(Just only one piece of cardstock use, with no additional paper layers.)
Detail can bee seen at: the Hero Arts Blog at the topic on March 30th, 2009. If you interested in it, please access the link above.

何だか私の週間スケジュールの中に組み込んでしまった感じなのですが、
再び、ヒーローアーツのウィークリー・チャレンジ参加用のカードを作りました。
グリーティング・カード作りにはまっていますが、ひそかにステッチ物を開始♪
（2週間後位に掲載できれば良いのですが(^^;)）

今週のテーマは、「1枚のレイヤーで作るカード」。
- 紙を重ねたりする事なしに、1枚の紙の上でデザインを展開・・・というもの。
(詳細は、the Hero Arts Blog の3/30の記事に記載があります)
実は、私、結構苦手なのですね、ワンレイヤー物は・・・。作り直す作業を省きたい＋被害を最小限にくい止めたいという思いから、失敗しそうな箇所については、通常レイヤーで重ねる方法を取っていますので。
さて出来上がったカードは・・・、以下です。

This is the card, 'One layer card - Find Joy Everyday'.

  I created this by using my favorite stamps and materials.
I didn't prefer to stitch all around this time, because I wanted to keep the upper space to express the spread of the sky. So, I thought about what kind of methods I should use at the part, quite a while.
After seeing today's video of the Hero Arts blog, I decided to take the embossing by the stylus.

HA Sand Piper / D4924
HA Sketch Line Rectangle / G3827
