CAS Mouse

Just want to share with you today a card that I made yesterday morning.  I didn't get the chance to post it yesterday so here it is.

Since I'm trying to win  my mojo back, I just made a clean and simple card to start off. The image was from House Mouse Christmas set and the sentiment was from Hero Arts Cupcake set.

Fairly simple, just  a punched border and some pearls to adorn the card.  The image btw, was stamped and heat-embossed with clear ep then coloured with Copic markers. I also did some soft sponging using a dauber and Versacolor Petal Pink ink.

That's all for now.  Will try to make a 2nd post later for the card that I created for SC293 over SCS.

Until then, enjoy your day!

God bless!

CC245 Always Real Chocolate

And this colour combo rocks! The CC245 over SCS is a combo of Real Red, Choc Chip and Always Artichoke (and any neutral colour is allowed as well). I really like these rich colours that's why eventhough I'm already 2days behind the challenge, I still made a card for that.

This House Mouse is sooooo adorable! Just look at him with his eyes closed. ;) That's why I chose the sentiment "Peace" to go along with the image as this mouse exudes peace and calmness. Don't you think so? :)

I stamped this mouse with Versafine Onyx Black, heat-embossed with clear ep and then coloured it with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils. His cheeks are more pinkish IRL, the real colour wasn't just captured by the camera. I cut it and mounted it onto a Basic Grey Wassail dp and then matted altogether onto a Choc Chip cs cut with Scalloped Oval Nesties.

Here's a closer shot:

Card size btw is 4.75" x 4.75". And most of the materials I used here are from my scraps. ;) The Choc Chip mat behind the Real Red is actually hollow in the middle. You know when you cut your mats using Spellbinders and what's only left is the square thing with holes on the middle resulting from your die cuts?? IFYKWIM. That's it! Sorry, I hope I'm making sense here. LOL!

Okay, this is it for now. Gotta grab some quick lunch for me and DS2.

God bless each and everyone of us! Enjoy your day!

Stockings On A BIG Card

Good morning! I was requested to make a "big" card by a churchmate to be given to her boss at work. Well, this one's actually an A4 folded in half which I still consider big as I don't normally make cards with this size. :) She wanted the stockings onto the card so I used my Spellbinders Wreath and Stockings die. My stockings card are making waves really as I will be making another card order using that die. That will be my 4th stockings card order in less than 3wks! :)

The base is an American Crafts cs which I bought on A3 size for 99cents @ Lincraft. And it's very, very sturdy as it's 270gsm (if I'm not mistaken). It has to be masculine (as her boss is a guy) so I chose blue for this. The dp is from DCWV 12x12 Christmas Stack which I bought way back 2007 and the sentiment is from House Mouse Christmas clear stamps set. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the day!

God bless you.

SC206 A Quick Post

Hi! This is just a quick post as I've got lots of chores to attend to. I finished this one last night for the SC206 challenge over SCS. The photo is a bit blurred so I might take another shot of this during the day.

I used my House Mouse stamps, coloured them with copic and my papers were DCWV Christmas stack, Whisper White and Quill Manhattan Ruby and Green.

Will just post more later. Have a blessed day!

and now comes the Pink and Brown CHRISTMAS

Yeah! I went out of my comfort zone and broke through the traditional colours of Christmas. I coloured these lovely House Mouse image with pink and browns and complemented them with my DP fr K & Co. Cardstocks were SU! Close to Cocoa and Whisper White, pinks were fr Bazzill.

This is also the first time I used my Cuttlebug slider which has been with me for a couple of months now. Instead of putting a sentiment on the slider, I stamped another image of the mouse and colour-complemented it with the main image. And look at my grosgrain ribbon? Yipee! They all coordinated with each other!!

I used my Copic, Sugarloaf markers and watercolour pencils to colour them. I also put some stickles onto the mouse on the slider.

So, what do you think?

Good night! God bless us all!

and now comes the Pink and Brown CHRISTMAS

SC185 Challenge and another Carolers card

Oh, I was able to finish 4 cards today! (and I still have to finish one for DH..it's Father's Day here tom.) This one is for SCS sketch challenge (SC185). I used this stamp again but this time I coloured them with my markers and used bold and bright colours to make it look more Christmasy.

And this one is the Carolers stamp which I coloured with watercolour pencils using a blender pen. The red cardstock looked orangey here but it's actually red.

My hands are quite tired (and so am I), I guess I'll just be finishing hubby's card then I'll freshen up and go to sleep. Dinner is waiting and hubby did the cooking (he's so sweet).

Be back later....

House Mouse Christmas SC192

Here I'am once again with another card. (I told you got lots of time to make cards today!) This is my very first House Mouse stamps and it's also the first time I inked them and used it on the SC192 card sketch challenge. I'm lovin' these challenges, they help me make more cards.

I stamped the image onto SU! Whisper White cardstock and matted them to SU! Garden Green. I coloured the cute image with my waterdcolour pencils with the help of my blender pen. I really enjoyed colouring them, they're gorgeous. I will make other cards using the same image but will colour it using other medium. We'll then see the difference. For now, I have to go as I'm still in the process of finishing another card. (it's halfway through).

See you later. :)
