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! 😊

Slimline Scene Builder Card: You Leveled Up! (It's Your B-Day)

Hello! I am really really excited to share my slimline scene builder card on my blog. For this card, I was inspired by Mama Elephant Scenescape Builder creative cuts that I was so tempted to buy it but did not. Hence, without the specialty dies, I came out with my own measurements for the various parts to form this 3D display card. With my paper trimmer, I cut out the base for the background 6.25 by 3.5 inches, the foreground piece 7.25 by 1 inches and the two pieces by the side 2.25 by 2 inches. Next, I inked the background with distress ink (aged mahogany & walnut stain) and oxide (abandoned coral) and MFT Small Brick Wall stencil. As for the foreground and side, I simply used distress ink (black soot) and distress oxide (walnut stain). I also prepared two strips of paper for the middle ground. Here's a quick look at the pieces with measurements. I further trimmed some of the pieces to ensure they fit. Once all the pieces for...

Hi Beautiful… Happy Birthday Card

Hi hi, it’s July and it’s my birthday month. Today, I decided to make a card for a special colleague who birthday is a day after mine. She has undergone a major surgery last year, has recovered and back to work. Not only are we born in the same month but same year too. So for some reason, I feel a special connection with her. I started off with the inking of the background with distress oxide. Then, I die cut a circle with mama elephant die on the inked background. I cut out a small piece of pattern paper 3”x3” from my scrap paper and partially die cut it with the same circle die. Thereafter, I stamped the adorable girl from Mft ‘Flutterby Friends’ inside the card and coloured it with fabercastell colour pencils. I also stamped and coloured the butterflies. I decided to use Mft Happy Birthday Circle Frame die-namics and die cut it twice. Finally, putting everything together and adding the sentiments on the card and inside the card. A litt...

Sending You a Double Scoopsof Birthday Wishes

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. 😉
