What’s Better Than a Cupcake? More Cupcakes

Hey, it’s National Day here in Singapore today. A day to celebrate. 
Hence, I wanted to make a happy card using the cupcakes cutie stamps from MFT. 
 
Instead of cracking my brain to think of the layout, I took reference from MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge 553. 
On Day 7 of the coloring challenge, I coloured this set of stamps with various media, including colour pencils, water colour and Tombow dual brush pens. 
I chose a brown cardstock paper for the card base and stamped more cupcakes randomly with Versafine vintage sepia stamping ink. 
Next, I die cut a rectangle frame (also product of MFT) and inked it with squeezed lemonade and mustard seed distress oxide. Then, I splattered paint on it. 

Here a look at the final card. Happy Birthday, Singapore! 😊

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. 😊

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...

Day 1 of 30 day Coloring Challenge

Since 2019, I have been participating in this coloring challenge organised by Kathy Racoosin. To me, this challenge is not just about colouring, but also getting inspired by many talented people and finding the ‘me’ time in my daily busy schedule. Thank you to Kathy for organising this!  Day 1, I’m sharing two bookmarks that I created using mainly Mama Elephant products.  The background is created by using the stencil from Mft and distress oxide. Here are two close-up photos.
