DDCC #3 - Christmas + New Technique

And our challenge this time gets easier :D lol.
The theme is........ New technique; with Christmas touch.

It's really worth to try, and don't forget that the prize is amazing!

This new challenge asked me to develop something I really want to do, but haven't tried yet.
Sooo, I have soooo long to do list!!
But then I decided to go with this one.
Can you guess what I tried?

Umm, yeah, I tried spotlight colouring technique!!
I saw this at Roberta's blog weeks ago. 
At the moment, I just think, "Waw, beautiful," and "Ah, I really should try this." LOL.
Having DDCC really helps me a lot, developing new things!
Here's the full card:

I also make a shaker card, plus using Tilda. I've workerd with digis lately, and kinda missing her, a lot. LOL. After working with new digis, Tilda really looks simple! :D
And, for the shaker card, I've never made any since months ago, that's why I decided to make one again. Shaker card is kinda fun :D

I used this special Tilda stamp and colour her with Copics.
You could see the detail of my new technique here.
I created a circle on the image, and only coloured the inside; made Tilda looked like on a spotlight.

For the embelishments, I added red and white flowers, since it's christmas.
I use traditional christmas colours.
And two pins!! I loooove using it lately :D :D

There's another new thing on my card. Bottle! Yep!
This cute thing was introduced by our lovely Julie. And yes, we're all kinda addicted to bottle. LOL. I put sand on the bottle, plus rope and red bell there.

Stamped a christmas sentiment there, and decorated it with half pearl, one of my favourite embelishments.

Doily and ribbon! My other favourite, LOL.
I also added bell there.

Well, there's more. Don't get tired reading this all yet. LOL.
Weeks ago, I saw Lisa's Pinterest and decided to add this on my card; handmade flourish :)

I really want to have one, but always think that flourishes are too expensive, lol.

All you need to make this is just a flourish stamp. 
Then stamp it with versa mark. 
Last thing to do is dotted liquid pearl on the pattern that versa left.
Simple, and magically done, beautiful handmade flourish! :D


This is the inside part of the card. I gave this card to my craft sister xxx
Kinda sad leaving her at Surabaya, while still get no clue when could I see her and her family again.
For sure I'm gonna miss them :( they're so warm and fun!! Ok, I already miss them :'(

I wrote quite much this time.

By the time you read this, I might be on my hometown already :D 
So glad that everything goes well; though some people dislike that I quited my job; but I don't really care. I know I'm not alone and you're all with me :) :) Hehe...

Don't forget to pop at my DT sisters' creations and join our challenge! It's gonna be fun seeing you there!! :D
And, at least, I do wish you a happy holiday! :D

Would love to enter this for:



Warm hugs,


Mikha Adriani

  9. Wow Mikha this is stunning. You have used the spotlight technique perfectly and I love the fact you have done a little shading on the part outside the circle too, just to give it that extra depth. As always all your little embellishments are gorgeous and all add something to your card. Hugs x. Little Pear Tree
