As I said in my previous post, my theme was clouds and steampunk.
I went around every where looking for every possible looking steampunk materials. I got some screws and metalic looking nails in the DIY shop in Sunway Pyramid, and cut off some of my unworn bracelets and watches ( which was alright because those have been around for ages just lying there being useless. haha)
A few of the materials I used :)
One of the first few ideas I came up with,
which I was very satisfied with the outcome of it.
A " Thinking of you" card
instead of having butterflies in the tummy, I had them replace with cogs.
yay, or nay? haha
I was inspired with a picture i came across on the internet so I made this concept and was not sure what card it should be. And I initially wanted butterflies and flowers and cogs and everything with clouds coming out as the hair but it was a little too much..
This was what I had a week after tutorials.
We were given another week to finish off everything else. which means, more time to think and more time to come up with awesome ides :D
I had to google and search on different kinds of other occasions celebrated to come up with the last few cards. it was such a challenge having to put the theme clouds and steampunk together. I had a few ideas but a had to change it at the very end due to the materials I had.
which was fine....
because everything turn out fine of course :)
My " Father's day" card
I had this painted with tea as the background since I couldnt really put in cogs into this card. I could, but i just did not want all my cards looking too cliche. and this was another new thing I was doing, putting tea onto paper, I was kind of worried on how it would turn out to be like, whether it would be messy or the color would come out wrong. but i was pretty satisfied with the outcome of it :)
TADAAA~~
my fourth card is the " Merry Christmas" card
I wanted most of my cards to look as simple as possible, I did not want anything to messy and too much going on. so for this i had Mr Santa Claus on the front with bread made out of cotton balls ( supposingly as clouds) and heads with cogs as a little oomph to it :)
I would say i was pretty happy with how my cards turn out to be like. what disappoint me was the type of paper that were used. It did not come across to me that I had to get proper card material paper in order for my cards to not turn out to be crumply because of the glue and paint after it dries.
hmm, but I'm just glad that I challenged myself in this, and tried a few new things during the process of making my greeting cards. I'm also glad that after this whole semester of POD, I have learned so much that I did not knew about before... and also all the help that was given by Miss Lisa throughout the the few months guiding us and giving us ideas on how to improve ourselves, much appreciated! :D
