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.

Hope it inspires you!

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...

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...
