DDCC 2nd Challenge - Create a Lightbox

Hi everybody! :D I hope you're all have a good day :D :D

Here's my post for today :D

Have you checked DDCC blog today? Yes, our 2nd challenge is going live! :D

And guess what the prize is? $20 cash prize for you to spend in any store you like! :D isn't that amazing? :) Don't hesiate to check.

And join our Facebook page here :)

Curious what's this about? 2nd challenge is challenging you about creating a lightbox.

I've been doing some research, here, here, and here :)

Maybe some of you wondering what light box is? :) Light box is a small box, created to help you take a better picture of your product or creation :D it'll create an clean background for your creation, make less distraction for your creation. That a definition from my self, lol.

And the result is this: 

This is how I make the lightbox:

Step 1:

Prepare all the ingredients:

Unused box I found in my office, LOL

Scissors,

Cutter,

Pencil,

Glue,

White Paper,

Ruler

Ah, I forgot to put the tape on the picture.

All of them are easy to find in your house, eh? :) :) 

Step 2:

Mark line about 1" each side, then cut it until it makes the shape below.

My english is poor, I hope the picture explains everything.

I only cut it in 3 side, for the bottom side won't deliver any light.

Step 3:

Put them together, like the third picture. I used tape to get them together :) 

Step 4:

The last, put white papers to cover the box, and your light box is ready to use!! 

This is the result of the light box!!

I did no editing this time :)

The left one is taken with lightbox, with no light. I take it inside.

The second one, the one in the middle is taken without lightbox, in my bedroom.

The last one is taken with lightbox plus lighting with my table lamp from above.

Which one do you like?

I love the last one, taken with lightbox. The only problem is my lighting. I only got one table lamp in my house. If only you added from three other side, the result would be awesome! :D :D

How about trying this outside? :) I will do that later and post the result in my blog asap. I got too much things happened lately :( My parents will move to another city soon, this November, in a few days. We have much things to be packed. And so am I, gonna move to another city on late 2013. I hope everything will be fine. :) :)

I hope you enjoy this post, and join us at 2nd DDCC. Can't wait to see you there :) :)

And also, don't forget to see my DT sisters' blog. They created an amaaazing project! :D :D

Andd, the detail about this card? Do you want to see it? :) :)

There it goes:

This is the colouring detail. I coloured this cutie whimsy stamp called Sweet Sparkle with Copics. I couloured her in pink and purple.

I got many coloured images, just hadn't had the time to create any card :(

Here's the left detail:

I added some pink and purple flowers, pearl chain around the image, and also magnolia dies.

Here's the detail for upper right side. I added three pink pearls, flowers and corner from clay.

You could see that I added white laces, around the square I used behind the image. 

Here's the detail for the right bottom:

Added pink and white ribbon, plus a charm :)

Didn't forget to swap some gesso here and there to create vintage look :D

Vintage yet cute :)

Here's the picture of the card, taken inside the lightbox I just created and lighting from above.

I edited this a little :)
