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 only the purple butterfly and added the sentiment from the stamp set.

Hope you like my sharing and 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. 😊

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...
