Today, I’m sharing my colouring of this pretty stamp from MFT on ‘Definition of Friendship’. When I first saw this stamp, it reminds me of a friendship that I forged with a colleague I met when I started to work many years back. She is a very nice lady who patiently taught me many things. Though we are no longer working together, we still keep in contact with each other. I’m thankful to have her as a friend. I used a very light colour ink to stamp the image on the paper for Nagomi Art. The paper is quite smooth and not so easy to colour. Hence I have to layer the colours. Once I’m done with the colouring, I stamped the image again on a post-it on to act as a masking prior to applying the soft pastels. I chose blue, purple, yellow and pink and gradually blended them for a soft effect.  Then, I placed the stencil on top and using tombow mono knock eraser and kneadable eraser, erased off the soft pastel with the stars.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment. There you go… the completed work wi

  Hello, today I’m sharing a birthday card created using MFT products. I bought many stamps and dies from MFT in July to pamper myself.  For this card, I started by colouring the stamped image with reference to a colour palette I came across on Pinterest.    Then, I inked the background with the watercolour stencil and distress oxide.    I added a rectangle frame as a border for this card. Lastly, I arranged the elements and stamped the sentiment.  Just in time to join MFT Color Challenge. 😉

Hey, it’s National Day here in Singapore today. A day to celebrate.  Hence, I wanted to make a happy card using the cupcakes cutie stamps from MFT.    Instead of cracking my brain to think of the layout, I took reference from MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge 553.  On Day 7 of the coloring challenge, I coloured this set of stamps with various media, including colour pencils, water colour and Tombow dual brush pens.  I chose a brown cardstock paper for the card base and stamped more cupcakes randomly with Versafine vintage sepia stamping ink.  Next, I die cut a rectangle frame (also product of MFT) and inked it with squeezed lemonade and mustard seed distress oxide. Then, I splattered paint on it.  Here a look at the final card. Happy Birthday, Singapore! 😊

  It’s Monday and it’s back to work. Did a simple colouring after a long day at work. I stamped Mft Beautiful Birthday Girl stamps and coloured it with Derwent Studio 36 fine colour pencils. Hope everyone have a good week ahead. 😊

Since 2019, I have been participating in this coloring challenge organised by Kathy Racoosin. To me, this challenge is not just about colouring, but also getting inspired by many talented people and finding the ‘me’ time in my daily busy schedule. Thank you to Kathy for organising this!  Day 1, I’m sharing two bookmarks that I created using mainly Mama Elephant products.  The background is created by using the stencil from Mft and distress oxide. Here are two close-up photos. 

Hi there, I’m here to share another scene builder card. This time on an outdoor scene! Check it out!  Likewise, I cut out all the pieces of paper first with my paper trimmer. A background piece, 3 long strips of paper for foreground and middle ground and 2 smaller pieces of paper for the sides.  Then, using Lawn Fawn, stitched simple wavy borders, I die cut the long strips to create the ocean scene.   Next, I inked the strips with various shades of blue. I used Hero Arts Shadow Ink: Mint Julep; Tide Pool, Pool and Navy.  For the background, I used Lawn Fawn, 'Palm tree border' lawn cut and inked it with distress oxide: Vintage photo, rusty hinge, mustard seed and mowed lawn.  I decided to use the smooth sailing stamp set and the coordinating lawn cut from Lawn Fawn and a cute whale 🐳 from MFT for this card.  The colouring is done with copic markers.  Finally, the fun part, I arranged all the images and used the sentiments from MFT to complete the card.  Hope it inspires you!
