WCMD Card 3
Today's card features an image I got from an online swap years ago. I believe it's from SplitcoastStampers. It's the only online crafting community I was actively involved in. My day wouldn't be complete without logging in and checking the boards. I loved joining swaps, and I loved hosting swaps even more. I wonder if swaps still take place nowadays.
Anyway, this is not my first time to use this image. For this card, I colored the image with Copics.
The dots inside the circle were actually accidental. I was taking off a cap from one of my Copic markers, and somehow the marker hit a spot. Can you see the area where I tried to "erase" it? It didn't work, so I just put dots all over.

WCMD Card 1
Although I have been bad about posting in my blog, I made sure to celebrate World Card Making Day all month of October. I did prepare for this crafty event - having a pile of designer paper already cut as card fronts, and sentiments already cut for whatever card I make. For my WCMD cards, I did a lot of recycling materials.
Today's card involves an image I got from an online swap years ago. I accented it with Copics to match the layers.
I have confession. When I was making this ribbon, I realized I was getting a bit rusty. I have forgotten to make a bow using a bow maker (mine's Unity). I had to search on Youtube to remind myself how this works. Yikes!

Improvised Photo Studio... Part Deux
I say "part deux" because I posted about this 4 years ago (click here to see). I have used the D-Flector by Sharpics for almost 5 years. It really worked great for me - I was able to get good pics of my projects. Sad to say, this product is no longer available. Even the Sharpics website is now up for sale. With natural lighting, my daylight OTT Lamp, and my craft room's daylight light bulbs, I didn't even need the two lamps shown below.
I guess I used it so often that it finally gave and the base broke. I bought another type of mini photo studio from a local store, but it didn't work for me. Since I still have the white (silver and black too) D-Flector background, and I thought I can improvise and make something to replace the base.
But for now this is what I came up with.
I attached a couple of paper clips to my 12 x 12 cardstock organizers, then I hung the D-Flector background.
This is how it looks like when it's not being used. If I need to get 12 x 12 cardstock, all I have to do is lift the D-Flector background.
When I need to take pics, pull open the top 3 drawers of my metal fixture and lay the D-Flector background on it. Then I'm ready to take pics.
I might think of other ways to improve this system, but I am very satisfied with this one right now.
