Another SARAH KAY Card for CDBSC2

Good early morning everyone! (it's 227 am now here in Australia) I was about to go to sleep but since I was able to finish this card a couple of minutes ago, I decided to post it now. This is for Laurie's sketch blog which for me looks gorgeous. I used my RAK Sarah Kay image and my recently-bought Basic Grey paper from their Sugared collection. I'm getting really fond of the Prima flowers...look, I used them again on this card. :)





As always, thanks so much for looking and for visiting my blog. Hope my cards somehow bring inspiration to you.

May God richly bless us all!

Another SARAH KAY Card for CDBSC2

CRAFTY MUSE IS NOW UP AND RUNNING!

Yay!! Crafty Muse is now officially OPEN! It is the blog wherein I'm one of the DT members. And I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to check it out and join our fortnightly challenges. You can now have the chance to use Sammi's images which you can get from the blog itself. The blog challenge starts today. :)

So, as a starter, here are the cards that I made using 2 of Sammi's "Angelique" image:

Isn't she cute?? The 2nd card is patterned from SC146 over SCS. I've finished these two cards 2 days ago but of course, I had to wait for Sammi's go signal before posting them anywhere. As I've said on my previous post, Sammi is still looking for 2 more DT members so if you feel like joining us, grab the first challenge now!

Let me know what you think of this by leaving some comments on my blog.

Thanks ladies and have a blessed day!

CRAFTY MUSE IS NOW UP AND RUNNING!

Purple & Green SC201 and my Prima Flowers

Howdy everyone?! Sorry if I wasn't able to post for a couple of days. As usual, I've been very busy with the chores and school appointments. Hope everything's doing very well with you all.

I have finished a card just a few minutes ago and I decided to post it here now before going to bed. It's my take for SC201 card sketch challenge over SCS. I was browsing over the forum and saw that SC201 is already up and running so I gathered my senses and put on a card for that. Here's my finished card:

Sorry the photo is a bit blurry. I'll try to take a photo of it again tomorrow and upload the new one here. I used SU!'s Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke for this card along with my Dena Designs paper (which is a leftover from my "All Things Purple Card" post, remember?) I used my Sarah Kay image and coloured her in with my Copics. And yes, I already used my new Prima flowers (Essentials 3 range)!! I got this flowers from a shop that was about to closed (that time but now it's already closed)..and so I got these for 50% off! Yay for another bargain! I actually came across these discounted flowers I think 2 days before the shop closed, so it was such a quick decision that I made to purchase them. Here are those flowers:

These are Croquette and Steal Toe Mary Jane from Prima Essentials 3. One box contains 193 flowers (yeah, I did count them LOL!) and the other one has 186 flowers and there are 4 styles of flowers in different colours. Aren't they gorgeous? I got them for AU$6/box and I don't think I could get them any cheaper from other shops.

So, there goes my post for today. It's 1:36 AM now and I need to go to sleep. Congratulations to all my friends and relatives in the US who has Barack Obama now as their President. I believe that a big change has come to your country.

God bless us all!

ETA: I replaced the photo with a clearer shot of the Sarah Kay card. :)

Hope you like it.

My First Magnolia Image

Yes! This is my very first Tilda image. And she was given to me by my online buddy Sammi. Thanks heaps Sammi! I never really thought that I would enjoy colouring her and putting her on a card. Send me more of her please? LOL!



Have you noticed the bg (the one behind Tilda)? I used my Scor-Pal to make those scores ;)! I guess I will really make use of my new toy more often. And have you noticed as well that I used Prima flowers here? Hehehe....I don't have Primas before (but now I'm starting to hoard a bit of them) and I don't normally use flowers on my cards (you can check out my previous cards and you can definitely tell). Well it's a different story now, I will be using Primas more often especially that I was able to source out where to buy them a bit cheaper here in Australia. Talkin' about bargain!

So, what do you think about my first Magnolia card? I would love to hear from you my dear blog readers and fellow bloggers.

Until next post. :)

SC200 Card Sketch Challenge

OMGosh! I can't believe that this is my 100th post! lol! And I'm also a bit surprised with myself as I was able to make cards for the SCS card sketch challenge for 2 consecutive days! Wow!!! Here's the SC200 card that I finished just a few minutes ago. Sorry for the image is a bit blurry and the camera didn't capture the Lovely Lilac colour cs on top.

The stamp used was from the Asian Influences set by Inkadinkado. My bg paper and adhesive ribbon are both from Far East collection by DCWV. This is also the first time I used my Nestabilities Geometrics (Octagon) that served as a mat for my stamped image. The image was actually coloured with Aquarell and I put on some Clear Copic Spica for added glitter. The lilac rhinestone (it's too small, it's on the "handle" of the fan) is from Kaiser craft.

Oh, and have you noticed that I already have a watermark on my uploaded photos. Yay for me! I've learned and started using it just yesterday and will use it everytime I upload photos of my cards anywhere. :)

Thanks for looking and Happy Saturday! God bless!

SC200 Card Sketch Challenge

MY New Toy, Stuffs, SC199 and Design Team News!

Hi everyone! I'm so thrilled to share with you my new stuffs which I received yesterday. I ordered some new packs of SU! Rich Regals, In Color and Chocolate Chip. I also got myself a Horizontal Slot punch and the slit punch. I also have some DCWV adhesive ribbons which I bought over Big W.

AND...I got myself a new toy! A SCOR-PAL! Yay!!!! Can't wait to try the projects that I saw over the Scor-Pal site. But as a starter, I used it to do a usual card scoring on this card that I'm about to show you...

My SC199 card! I rarely join the card sketch challenges over SCS but I thought I'd give this sketch a try and here's what I came up with.

The image is a RAK from the talented Janette Olen. I coloured it with my Aquarell using a blender pen. I then used my Heidi Grace paper for the very first time. I really like this paper as it complemented on SU!'s Summer Sun and Choc Chip. And I also used my slot punch here to slide through my grosgrain ribbon. :)

AND I have another news for you. Gorgeous Sammi asked me to be part of her Design Team for her soon-to-be launched Crafty Muse blog wherein we will be making cards using her very own designed images (which will soon be sold as stamps!). Yay!! I was so excited & I told her I'd be happy to join her DT and told her as well that at least, someone believes in my talent aside from my darling hubby! LOL!! I will be making my first card as Crafty Muse DT member and you'll be seeing it officially on Crafty Muse blog real soon. SO watch out for it. Oh, I'm so excited and at the same time nervous (water please? lol!) Thanks so much Sammi. There are actually 4 of us in the design team but Sammi will be choosing another 2 DT members for the first challenge that she will be hosting. So, if you fancy joining us, give it a try. ;)

Guess this is all for now. It's already 326am here in Australia and I'm still wide awake. I just can't help but post these good things and share them with you.

'Til next post. Have a blessed day!
