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 little final  touch with Honey Bee Stamp cupcakes rhinestones.
Yay!  It’s done! Wishing her a blessed birthday and good health! 
I going to submit this for Mft Wednesday sketch challenge- Sketch 548.

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...

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 pa...

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...
