From the Whole Herd Birthday card

Today, I’m sharing a very simple birthday card.

I’m planning to participate in the MFT Wednesday Sketch challenge.

For this card, I started with the stamping of the sentiments first. With that as a reference, I picked 3 sentiments and stamped them on the 3 strips of paper.

Then, with Prima marketing inc. stencil, I inked the background of the card with distress oxide (rusty hinge and vintage photo).

I chose the stamp set, ‘The Whole Herd’ from MFT for this card. This is a stamp set that I’ve bought many years back and still in good condition. I stamped it on a beige paper and decided to use colour pencils. For colouring with colouring pencils, I usually start with the light colours as a base colour and I will gradually build up the colours, layering and blending the colours.

Once done, I fussy cut the stamped animals as I did not buy the die cut previously.

Next, with foam dots, I arranged the animals and paste them the bigger strip of beige paper.

Finally, I assembled everything onto the card base.

For the final touch, I added a twine to the bottom of the card. Once again, here’s the final look.

That’s all for my sharing today. Have a nice day! 😊

3D Display Card 1

Hey all, it has been a while since I last updated my blog. Busy and having fun creating all these 3D display cards. Once again, I would like to thank Jennifer McGuire for the inspiration. I have many people asking about the dimensions of the card so I’m going to share it today. I created my own template using the rainbow arch from Mama Elephant slim scene scape rainbow add on. Check out the dimensions below. Next, I die cut the slopes using Lawn Fawn stitched hillside borders and created a path. For the background, I stamped, embossed and inked it. Lastly, I stamped the adorable Christmas-themed critters, coloured and assembled them. Thanks for dropping by and hope you like it. 😊

Slimline Scene Builder Card - Soak Up the Fun… Hope your Birthday is a Splash!

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...

Day 1 of 30 day Coloring Challenge

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.
