SWEET AS A CUPCAKE

Good evening everyone! (it's already night here on my part of the world).  Today's card is for the Featured Stamper (FS211) this week over SCS and she's no other than StampGroover (aka Cookie). Her cards are all fab and mostly Clean and Simple ones.  Anyways, I tried my best to CASE one of her cards and I CASE'd her Sweet As Pie card.

I changed the colours, dp, placement of ribbon and image but used the same lay-out (almost).  The Magnolia image is one of the RAK images that I received months ago. I coloured Tilda with Copics and made the colours from the dp my inspiration in colouring her. The oval panel was cut with Oval Nestabilities and embossed using Cuttlebug Birthday embossing folder. The Regal Rose mat was also cut with a bigger size Oval Nestabilities then cut with pinking scissors for a different border. I realized I have more than 10 different decorative scissors and decided to start using them again on my projects.

The sprinkled Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter on top of her cupcake for added effect.  Here's a closer shot of the card:

Thank you for looking and I'll see you again on my next post.

Have a blessed day!! God loves you!

SWEET AS A CUPCAKE

Summer Tilda for a Spring Card =)

Hello fellow bloggers and stampers! This card is one of those "unfinished projects" that I found on my drawer awhile ago.  Tilda was coloured with Copics, matted and was set aside for.... how long? Hmmm..can't remember anymore. LOL!  But I remember, I had fun colouring this image from the Summer Kit that I ordered last year.  Anyway, at least, I was able to use her now and it somehow fits for a Spring card, I guess, because of the flower Tilda is holding. LOL!  And this card is my entry for my cousin Joan's World Cardmaking Day Blog Candy! YAY!  Would you believe that Joan (she's SKICIO on SCS) was one of my cousins whom I've last seen when I was just, what, between 11-13 y/o?!!  We've been exchanging PM's over SCS without knowing that we're cousins. I mean, she's using her married name now and it's the same on my part so we weren't able to recognize each other straight away.  I was able to confirm that she's the Joan I've known  when I saw her on one of my Aunt's Facebook profile!!  And we were like....yeahh cuz, it's you!!!  Thank God for the technology we're having and would you believe, we're both into crafting/stamping?! =)  Yeah, it's confirmed, we really are cousins!!  And check out her blog 'coz she really makes fab cards. =)

On with my card and sorry for the quite long intro. =)  As I've said, Tilda was coloured with Copic and I used my Mega Curve Rectangles to cut her and I lightly sponged Versacolor Narcissus around her.  I then cut a bigger size of the Mega Curve Rectangles to mat her.  The dp is from Basic Grey (as far as I can remember) and I finished off the card with a button on top of the white grosgrain ribbon/bow.  I hope the photo looks clear enough -- I used my mobile camera this time as my digicam's batts went low and I forgot to recharge it. So, this one goes to the blog candy that Joan is offering. This is for week one.  Why did I say so?  Because she's offering a blog candy once a week for the whole month of October! Wow! So, what are you waiting for? Come join the fun! Visit her blog for more deets about this.

Thanks so much for looking and have a blessed day!  Until nex post!

Summer Tilda for a Spring Card =)

F4A18 ICE CREAM!

Hello fellow bloggers! I just want to share with you my finished card for the Free For All Challenge (F4A18) over SCS which is to make a card with "ice cream" on it! :)  Most of the SCSers are from US of A and currently, it's Summer there while it's Winter here.  Nonetheless, I still want to eat ice cream even if my surrounding is already cold, in fact, I just had one this afternoon. LOL!!

I used Tilda from Magnolia Summer Kit which is the only stamp image that I have that has an ice cream. Hmm..actually, this more looks like a Paddle Pop than an ice cream.  Oh well,  I hope it still qualify for the challenge.

I coloured Tilda with Copic markers getting the colours from the dp which is from Basic Grey Cupcake pad.  The colour pink isn't on the dp but the rest of the papers on the pad has it so I just put a hint of it (on Tilda's Paddle Pop, errr..ice cream, LOL!)  and matched it with a grosgrain ribbon with a yellow button on top.

Instead of directly using the blue cs to mat Tilda, I let it leaned on the left side instead.  I finished off the card with my dew drops.  These drew dops were actually very light yellow in colour so I coloured them with the same yellow Copic that I used to complement Tilda's top. Oh, and btw, I used my Versamark pen and went over the chocolate coating and embossed it in clear ep so it will look shiny or liquidy just like when it's hot and the ice cream is starting to melt. (hope I'm making sense here, lol!)

Okay, off to bed now.  Me and the kids weren't able to join hubby for the Bible study tonight as the venue was quite far from our place and my little boy was already tired and sleepy,

Thanks so much for the visit. I appreciate it so much.

God bless!

F4A18 ICE CREAM!

MDUC#51 - Embossing

Hi everyone!  I'm here once again with another Tilda card to share.  This card was made for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #51 and it's about EMBOSSING.  Well, I wasn't sure at first if it's heat embossing or dry (Cuttlebug) embossing.  Either way, they're both embossing but I chose the easiest one, the Cuttlebug embossing. LOL!

This cutie Tilda was another RAK image that I received from my online friend, Jackie.  Honestly, she had sent me heaps to colour with! Thank you so much Jackie,  I really, really appreciate it. I coloured Tilda with Copic markers using some that I bought recently from our LSS, All About Scrapbooks. If you're in Australia, (Sydney NSW in particular) and you're near Bexley, visit All About Scrapbooks sometime as you can get lots of great finds there.  And the ever-accomodating Vanessa will always be ready to answer your queries. :)

Okay on with the card again, I used Bec's June Competition lay-out once again for this one (I also used this lay-out on my previous post) except that I'm not entering this as this is not Winter-themed. My embossing here is on the brownish panel and I used my Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder for that.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers Wedding ensemble set and the flowers are from BizzyBecs (except from the yellow rose which I bought from another online shop). The violet flower has been coloured with BV00 to add some depth and sprayed them all with Glimmer Mist pearl for some effect.  Tilda's white background (and the sentiment as well) were sponged with Versacolor Hyacinth ink and the edges with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink. My dp is from DCWV 6x6 Floral stack.

Thank you very much for the visit and may God bless us all!

WINTER TILDA!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I'm so glad that after awhile, I was finally able to make another Magnolia card. I was able to find time to sit and stamp this afternoon, hence, a card for these TWO challenges:

- Magnolia Down Under Challenge#50 - Swirly Swirls
- Bizzy Becs June Store Competition - Winter theme, Bec also encouraged us to use the lay-outs she provided but it's not a "must".

I chose this lay-out for my card:

And here's my card:

 You can see the swirls (for the MDUC#50 challenge) on the dp that I used which is from Kaisercraft and the mat that I used behind Tilda was also embossed using Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder and since "winter" is the theme for Bizzy Becs Competition, what else can be more wintery than a Tilda with a scarf and mittens? ;)  I coloured Tilda with Copics.  I recently bought few pieces of Copics to add to my collection and used some of them here.  I'm still practicing how to colour Tilda's face but I like how this one turned out, somehow. LOL!

The background trees were from Stampin' Up Lovely As A Tree set.  I stamped it using Versafine Smokey Grey and lightly coloured it with chalk. Chalking was also done to create the sky scene.  To make it more look wintery, I embellished it using Liquid Pearls here and there to mimic "snow".  I actually used White gel pen at first but it didn't look good when it had dried up so I went over it again with Liquid Pearls.  Here's another angle shot:

The flowers are from Prima and the pine branch were created using McGill's branch punch that I purchased from Bizzy Becs few months ago.

Thank you so much for visitng and I hope I somehow inspired you with what I've created today.

God bless us all!

WINTER TILDA!

Feather Blending Challenge over Mad for Markers

And this is my first on this challenge! LOL! Well, I've practiced and wasted a few stamped images before I got satisfied with the outcome.  Hmm, I don't know if I did it right, LOL! but hopefully, one day I'll get there. So that means more practice for me. :)  If you wanna know more about this challenge, head on to Mad for Markers blog.

This Tilda was a RAK stamped image from my friend Jackie. (waving at you, Jack!)  I've coloured her with the ff Copic markers:

skin- E00, E02, E11

hair- E25, E29

clothes/wings (for the blending) - R00, R02, B00 B02

I haven't been colouring any Tilda lately that's why I once again felt like a first-timer with Copics while I'm colouring her. The wings (and petticoat) were embellished with Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter and finished off the card with this Aqua satin ribbon made with Bow Easy and 3 small Kaiser pearls.

Tilda's white background was sponged a bit with Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink and embossed with Fiskars Hearts Texture plates. The dp is from DCWV floral stack.

Thank you for looking and I'll see you next post!

God bless!

TILDA WITH PUPPY

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you're all feeling good upon reading this post.  I created this card last night but was too sleepy to post so I'm sharing this with you today instead.

This lovely Tilda With Puppy image was given to me by one of my online friends.  Sorry, just couldn't recall the name but will put it here as I check on my received RAKS. I coloured Tilda with Copics and did some tip to tip technique for the shading.  I also used Prismacolor pencils for shading as well.  I like how the tip to tip technique turned out with Tilda's boots/shoes...looks suede even IRL! ;)  Might do this technique again next time.  I actually coloured this image a month ago now but it's only now that I was able to use her on a card when I saw these lovely dps from my stash.

I finished off my card with some chocolate Kaiser pearls here and there, a ribbon, button and layered flowers.  The sentiment is from Jemac Stamps (clear).  Tilda's white background was embossed with Perfectly Paisley embossing folder (which I haven't been using for quite sometime now) and I did some chalking to highlight the embossed parts.

Thanks for the visit and I'm off to do some review for our Bible study tonight.  God bless everyone!

Monochromatic Tilda (in REDS)

Happy Thursday fellow bloggers and stampers!  It's been awhile since I last posted and uploaded a card.  Well, there were some things that had to be prioritized and I'm glad I did as now I somehow have time to sit and stamp. :) Aside from that, my MOJO seemed to be on a "holiday" mode, so creative juice weren't really flowing nicely.  But it's slowly coming back! :)

This card that I have for you today is my entry to the ff: challenges:

TLC271 (SCS) - Vellum Emboss

Mad for Markers - Using shades of ONE colour- Monochromatic (in my case I used the "red" family)

Just Magnolia - Week 53: Bev's Sketch

First, let me show you the sketch:

And here's my card:

The square background in the middle is an embossed vellum and I used the Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder for this.  And as for the colours, here are the Copic markers that I used:

R20, R22, R24, R27, R29

For the skin, I used: E00, E02 basically because I can't colour her skin red, LOL!!! Btw, this cute Tilda image is a RAK from lovely Jackie. Thanks so much Jackie!

Nothing too special about this card except that it's monochromatic. LOL!  And Tilda here has red hair. ;-)The edges were distressed and the oval panel was also distressed and inked with Scarlet by Versacolor. Btw, the oval was done using Fiskars hand circle shaper (I forgot the exact name of it, sorry).  My oval Nestabilities are too small to fit Tilda in, at least this one is a bit bigger. That reminds me, I have to have those  Nestabilities Classic Oval Large as it's big enough to fit even some Bible verses from ODBD. I finished off the card with some Prima flowers, rhinestones and dew drops.

Thanks for visiting and may our good Lord bless and keep you always.

Hugs,

Monochromatic Tilda (in REDS)

CREATE A SCENE by MASKING

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! It's Friday once again and I can say time really flies so fast nowadays!!  I want to share with you today the card that I made for 2 challenges:

- Magnolia Down Under Challenge #42 {Masking}

- Magnolia Stamp Lovers {Create a Scene}

and I bet like me, you would say the challenge go perfectly together!! Masking is surely a part of creating a scene that's why I combined these two challenges! YAY! I stamped Tilda then masked her so I can stamp the fence (which is btw, from Sugar Nellie). I used my Stamp a Majig to stamp the fence. I then masked the fence then stamped the flower background. As you can see, I stamped the stems again so as to show tall-stemmed flowers. :)  The stems in between the fence was done manually with Copic Multiliner.  Everything was coloured with Copics and other shading were achieved using Prismacolor pencils with odourless solvent.

Sky was created by sponging with torn paper as a guide.  The sun was done with the same technique.

Here's a closer shot:

I embellished my card with a layer of flowers and a button and a bit of yellow and purple Stickles on the stamped flowers. 

Here's a close-up shot for you to see the sparkle in the flowers:

I know I'm still mastering how to colour Tilda with Copics so kindly excuse my colouring but I'm happy as somehow I'm kind of improving (as my hubby said) LOL!!

Thanks so much for the visit and I would love to hear your comments or suggestions.

God bless us all!

MDUC41, OCC and FS166 {Black & White Tilda}

Hi everyone! Today's card is my entry for Magnolia Down Under Challenge #41 (and my entry to Featured Stamper 166, too!). MDUC had set a theme which is "Olden Days". We are to colour Tilda in black, white and greys and the papers to be used are either colourful or with vintage look. My Tilda was coloured with black and different degrees of "greys" from my Prismacolor pencils. I didn't have any problem colouring her skin as she's already white and she has to be black and white. LOL!! Yeah, she should be black and white but I can't help myself so I coloured the bow on her hat with red. I stamped it twice and popped up the 2nd one for dimension. The bow is the only one coloured with Copic marker (Lipstick Red).

The oval background was cut with Oval Nestabilities, sponged with Versafine Smokey Grey and Vintage Sepia then embossed with Cuttlebug Script embossing folder. This card is also a CASE'd of PatSmethers' Comfort of Home card. It was so hard choosing which card to CASE on her gallery as they're all gorgeous and lovely. I ended up CASEing the said card to combine it with MDUC since she used an image of a Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie and I'll be using Tilda. :)

ETA: I'm also entering this card to Our Creative Corner Challenge - Bows! Perfect timing!

I finished off the card with some Kaiser pearls and a red bow made by Bow Easy!! Honestly, I'm not into ribbons before. In fact, I have lots of satin ribbons being hoarded and were never used but not until Bow Easy was introduced to me - I was given a whole new perspective about ribbons!! LOL!!!

Thanks for looking and for your lovely comments. I really, really appreciate it.

God bless you!

MMSC48 & Mad for Markers Challenge Card

Hi everyone! I'm glad as I was able to finish my card for two challenges:

- Mad for Markers Challenge #1 (to use Copic colours EOO, R20 and BG15)
- Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 48

I kept the card simple and experimented colouring Tilda. LOL!! I got my new COPICS yesterday from Sammi which means I have added few colours on my growing Copic markers and I already have the R20 that qualifies me to play for Mad for Markers challenge! YAY! And yes, we met each other personally for the first time. Thanks so much Sam for your warm reception. :)

For MMSC48, obviously we have a sketch to follow. ;-) And this is also my first time to join in their challenge and I'm so excited and so looking forward to participate in their future challenges.
This Tilda is another RAK I received from Bec last year and I coloured her with Copics (will give the colours tomorrow as I already feel so sleepy, it's almost 2AM here!) I played with her colours as I always colour her hair brown. I wanted it to be a bit different this time and I glad it somehow turned okay. What do you think?

The dp I used is from Basic Grey Urban Prairie. More deets tomorrow --promise!

Have a blessed Sunday!

ETA: Here are the Copic colours that I used:

Face/Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E51, E25, E29

Clothes/Shoes: BG15, R00, R20, Y11, Y21

Basket of Flowers: E25, E29, E51, YG17

(I highlighted the colours that are included in Mad for Markers Challenge #1)

Thanks for the visit! ♥

ANGLED INTEREST {WT265}

Happy Saturday everyone! This card that I'm going to share with you today is my take for this week's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE {WT265} over SCS and it's about putting something on an angle on your card. In my case, I put my ribbon and the main panel with Tilda on angle.

Tilda here is one of the lovely images stamped and sent to me by sweet Jackie! Thanks so much Jackie, I really, really appreciate it! God bless you. This lady really makes gorgeous cards and she colours very well using Copics. So, when you get the chance, visit her blog and see for yourself. :) On this card, Tilda was coloured with Prismacolor pencils using odourless solvent. I've just noticed that I haven't been using my Prismas so, I searched for some Prismacolor tutorials just to give me a boost to start using them again. :) I liked how it turned out though.

The dp is from Basic Grey Lilykate. The background was cut using Labels Eight then sponged with SU! Ballet Blue and Versacolor Baby Blue. The sentiment is stamped and sponged with Ballet Blue as well and matted onto Ballet Blue cs using my Martha Stewart Scalloped Circle punch. Finished off the card with a bow and my almost forgotten dew drops. LOL! Oh, and btw, I also used my new Stickles Yellow to accent Tilda's clothes. Perfect match!

Thanks for looking and may you have a blessed day!

See you on my next post. :)

ANGLED INTEREST {WT265}

Thank You (Tilda in Orange)

I know it's already 1am here in Australia and I'm still up! I still couldn't sleep so I whipped up a card for this week's Magnolia Down Under Challenge # 40 and the theme is "Thank You".
I always see Tilda in pinks or purples but seldom in other colours (like orange) so I coloured her differently this time. The image is a RAK I received last year (thank God for online buddies who offered to stamp Magnolia images to those who don't have too much stamps like me!). I believe this one came from Bec (thanks Bec!). I coloured Tilda mostly with Sugarloaf markers but I used Copics on her hair and face. Unfortunately, I'm already running out of E00 (as I always use it to colour her skin) so I used the R00 instead. Looks good though as she looks kinda pinkish but I need to order a refill or a new E00 as I can't afford not to have it for a long period of time. Gotta tell Sammi ASAP! LOL!

I just made this card simple using only satin ribbon and chocolate pearls as embellishments. The sentiment is AmyR Friend sentiments by CC Designs. I used my Stamp a Majig for that and sponged a soft Versacolor Narcissus around it while still inside the Oval Nesties die. I also punched the white mat with my Fiskars Threading Water punch. The dp is from DCWV Floral Prints stack.

I'm also entering this card for Stampin' for the Weekend and it's about Ribbons and Bows! It's my first time to join their challenge.

Thanks for looking and I'll be sleeping now. Looking forward for this morning as it's my hubby's off and he told me that we'll be driving around with the kids. Wohoo!

God bless us all!

FAUX QUILT CARD

Hello once again! I thank God as I feel a bit better now that's why I'm posting my 2nd card for today. I've been browsing yesterday for some card techniques and I stumbled upon this faux quilt card tutorial. There are really lots of tutorials with regards to this card so Mr. Google really is a big help! :)

I just used scraps from the papers that I used on my previous cards. I used my square Nesties since I don't have a square punch. After adhering the die-cut square papers, I then cut it using Labels Eight then did some faux stitching to make it look more realistic. Since I have faux stitching here, I then made this one my 2nd entry for the MDUC#39 challenge. Tilda was coloured using Copics and Sugarloaf markers.


This card goes out to my niece for her birthday. I hope she likes it.

Thanks for visiting!

FAUX QUILT CARD

MAGNOLIA DOWN UNDER CHALLENGE#39 {Stitching Real or Fake}

It's Holy Thursday and this morning, the topic on my daily Bible Devotional is about building our relationship with our Creator while we are still alive. Because according to Psalm 39:11, "Everyone's life is only a breath." That's why while we are still alive, we must always remember to give thanks and praise to God for everything that He's doing to us. Whatever situation we are in at any point, we must praise God for He alone knows what's best for us. Build up and deepen our relationship with Him by accepting and receiving His son Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour so we can spend eternal life with Him knowing we are saved. God made the ultimate sacrifice when He offered His only son to die on the cross just for us to be saved. And that's the very essence of this Easter -- for us to rejoice that Jesus has conquered the grave; that He rose from the dead and we too, will experience that if we are in Him and remain in Him. :) I hope you'll set aside even a short period of time to contemplate this Holy Week and to read your Bible everyday to strengthen your faith.

Okay, my card here is my take for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #39 --to use stitching either real or fake. In my case, I did a faux stitching as I don't have a sewing machine & I don't know how to sew using that. LOL! I was about to colour this RAK image with my Prismacolor pencil but I found out that my Dark Purple pencil was missing. :( I've checked my colour chart to know that I have it eversince, and yes it was but the pencil itself was missing. So, I decided to use my Sugarloaf Markers which were "untouched" for a very long time. Actually, I coloured it with the combination of Sugarloaf markers, Copics and Bic Mark It. :) The sentiment is from a craft show months ago which was stamped onto white cs, cut with Labels 8 (the smallest size) and sponged around it using So Saffron while still inside the die.


The dp is one of the very first dp's that I acquired when I was just starting. I think this one's by Dena Designs. I made the felt flower (the pink ones) using my Flower Creations Shapeabilities and combined it the flowers I have on my stash.

This is all for now. Thanks for visit and God bless us all!

Hugs,

SIMON SAYS EASTER OR SPRING and some GLIMMER!

Happy Monday blogging world!!! Let's all thank God for another week and let's pray that He'll help us spend this week wisely and to direct us in using our talents for His glory!

My card for today is my very first Easter card for this year. LOL!! Yeah, I'm late I know. I mean, I have an excuse 'coz I don't have any Easter themed stamp except from few RAK stamped images that I received from my online friends last year.

The gorgeous Tilda Holding Bunny image was coloured with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I coloured her yesterday morning and the colours were inspired by a dp from Basic Grey. As I was in the prcoess of putting the card together, I suddenly felt like sponging. Hence, the sponged background of sky and ground. :) I hope you can see the sky here very well as it's a combo of blues and pinks. And when I saw the challenge over Simon Says Blog, that is to have glimmer, shimmer or sparkle, I then opened my new Martha Stewart Golden Glitter and started pouring some on Tilda's dress. Here's a close-up:


In this photo, you can now clearly see my blue and pink sky! How do you like it? :) As I've said awhile ago, I don't have any Easter themed stamp which also means I don't have any sentiment that says "Happy Easter". So, I improvised on this one. I have this Technique Tuesday mini stamp (yes, it's Easter themed but it only has an egg, small flowers and the words Easter & Eggs). What I did, I looked on my stamps binder and searched for a word "happy" that will complement the the "Easter" word from TT. I tried and experimented and then BAM! Got the right combo! If you could only see the look on my face when I was mounting my sentiment up. So, so happy! :) I also did a faux bow on this card which also first for me.


Thanks so much for looking and please let me know that you've been here by leaving a comment or two. I appreciate it, really!


Have a blessed day!

MY FIRST EASEL CARD

Happy Friday everyone! I've started making this card 2 days ago but then I got sidetracked with other stuffs that's why I've finished it just now. Actually, this is my "first ever" easel card! Yay for me!! It's also a first for me to use punched leaves on a card. Well, it's because I don't have any leaf punch, LOL!! But this lovely leaves were given to me by my online buddy Bec months ago. This is also my take for WT263 challenge over SCS and this one is actually a birthday card. I really left a space inside the card for the personalized message of the giver, which is ME! :)

Here's a close-up shot of the front:

I used Kaiser pearls (Blush) as stopper for my easel card. The papers were from K&Company and Kaisercraft. My Magnolia image is a RAK I received from a friend online.

So, what do you think? :)

Thanks for looking, it's already late and I need to sleep because we have a family day out tomorrow. Can't wait!!

God bless!

MY FIRST EASEL CARD

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #38

HELLO! It's me once again. This is my second post for today so just please scroll down to read the earlier post.

This card is for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge#38 and it's a sketch challenge for this week.

Here's my card:

Honestly, I haven't been creating cards with Tilda on it for the past few months. Which only means that I haven't been using my Copics and Prismacolour pencils for awhile now! So just imagine how hard it was for me to colour her, knowing that I wasn't sure at first if I still know how to use or hold a marker, moreso, a COPIC!!! LOL!!! My hand was trembling, actually. I felt the same feeling when I was just starting with Copics. :)

Anyway, I somehow "survived"! I just hope I was able to justify my colouring with Tilda. I coloured her mostly with Copics but with her hair, it was a combo of Copics then Prismacolor pencil (to achieve shading).

Can you please tell me from what Magnolia collection this Tilda was from? This is just actually a RAK image from an online buddy (sorry, I forgot her name! my bad!). The farm fence that Tilda is sitting on was from High Hopes which I bought from Bec some weeks ago. I did some tweaking on this fence to adjust the height. LOL! I experimented on matting the Labels One with my Scalloped Square Nesties (the largest die) and I liked how it turned out. I did some paper piercing on the sides and a faux stitching with a faux thread using a glitter gel pen. :) Flowers were made using Martha Stewart Cosmos punch and embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots to add effect and was popped-dot for dimension.Sentiment is from AmyR stamps by CC Designs and the tiny bow on top of it is a Carl punch. The lovely dps are from K&Company Charlotte pad (my favourite!). The cardstocks are from SU! Summer Sun and Coredinations cs.

A closer look at the flowers...

Thanks so much and it's time for me to hit the bed now. God bless everyone!

{CAS56} IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE!

Happy month of March everyone!!! Wow, days really pass by so fast and before we know it, we're already half year through. So let's thank God for every moment that He's blessed us and let's make the most out of those moments.

Well, I was finally able to sit and stamp this afternoon as soon as I saw the CAS56 challenge which is "Hip to be Square!". As you all know me, I'm really into making square cards so it didn't make me think twice to play in this challenge.

I stamped my image from Magnolia Summer Collection with Memento Tuxedo Black then coloured it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I then matted it onto an Old Olive cs which was cut with Scalloped Square Nesties. I stamped the Darkroom Door sentiment with Old Olive ink then finished the card with an olive-coloured satin ribbon (bought from dollar store) with a button combo (a very first for me!). Oh, I made my bow using Bow Easy and once again, I had to review the youtube tutorial as I've totally forgotten how to make one. LOL!!!

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed day!!

Hugs,

Ice Skating Tilda

Good morning and happy, happy Monday to all of you! I will be sharing a card using Ice Skating Tilda for the second time. You may notice that this card looks familiar to you. Yeah, it is! I made a card for the Roses on Paper challenge using the same papers, image and embellishments which you can find HERE.

A churchmate liked it and asked me to make her one. To those of you who know me, I don't normally mass produce or make 2 cards so identical to each other. So, I just made a few twists and I'm sure, crafters as you are like me, you can easily spot the difference. :)


Don't be shy, tell me the differences that you're seeing. :)

Thanks for looking and I'm off to finish some house chores and then sit and stamp!

Have a lovely week! God bless us all.
