We Are the Definition of Friendship

Today, I’m sharing my colouring of this pretty stamp from MFT on ‘Definition of Friendship’. When I first saw this stamp, it reminds me of a friendship that I forged with a colleague I met when I started to work many years back. She is a very nice lady who patiently taught me many things. Though we are no longer working together, we still keep in contact with each other. I’m thankful to have her as a friend.

I used a very light colour ink to stamp the image on the paper for Nagomi Art. The paper is quite smooth and not so easy to colour. Hence I have to layer the colours.

Once I’m done with the colouring, I stamped the image again on a post-it on to act as a masking prior to applying the soft pastels. I chose blue, purple, yellow and pink and gradually blended them for a soft effect.

Then, I placed the stencil on top and using tombow mono knock eraser and kneadable eraser, erased off the soft pastel with the stars.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment. There you go… the completed work with the white frame. Hope to meet up with her soon and give it to her. 😘

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. 😉
