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. 😊

Simply watercolour

My first encounter with watercolour was at 17. My JC Art teacher introduced it to me. Back then, I didn’t really like it as I find it difficult to control. Overtime, with practice, I fell in love with the medium. In the recent years, I have attended several watercolour classes under artists in Singapore. Now, I really enjoy painting with the medium. Today, I am going to paint a stamped background, ‘Country Roads background’ from Hello Bluebird. I started painting the tree first. Then the grass and leaves. I used a water brush instead of my watercolour brush for quick painting. The set-up is really easy and stress-free. Just the palette, water brush and tissue. Here a look at the completed background. I’m happy with it. 😉 Looking at the painted background, I decided to add the girl and butterflies from MFT ‘Flutterby Friends’ stamps set. To make the girl stands out, I painted the dress orange. As the background is already quite detailed, I decided to include on...

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...
