SC286 Sweet Little Girl

Happy Thursday fellow bloggers and stampers!  I want to share with you today a card I made for the Sketch Challenge(SC286) this week over SCS.  At last, this sweet image was finally inked after months since I purchased it from a Craft Show.  This image was from JEMAC Stamps and unfortunately, the stamp name wasn't on the label when I bought it.  But isn't she so sweet to look at with her smiling face (even while sleeping) and the ribbons on her hair? :)

I was just actually practising my colouring with Copics and I chose this image when I ended up liking how it turned out! LOL! I bet you can relate with me and you had those moments, too!  So, I decided that I would use her on a card but slept on it 'cause I still didn't have any lay-out on my mind yet.  And this morning, while I was doing my daily browsing at SCS, I saw the sketch challenge for this week and thought, hey! this lay-out would be perfect for my image. And so I gave it a try. :)

Yes, I paper-pieced her pillow and her quilt/blanket and it wasn't easy especially with the pillow (look at her hair!)  I also used pop-dots to give the ribbons on her hair and her teddy some dimension.  The dp is from K&Company Sweet Pea Studio pad and I got this from Windsor Cottage Botanicals at a very reasonable price. :) The checkered ribbon is from my stash and so is the button.  I finished off the card with some Kaiser pearl Blush on the four corners.

Thanks for the visit and have a blessed day!

YOU ARE THE POTTER

Yay! I finally got the chance to ink my newest ODBD stamp set called "You Are The Potter" which I won few months ago from ODBD Shining the Light Challenge.  Thank you very much ODBD team especially to their very kind and sweet owner, Kelley! God bless you more, Kelley and thank you so, so much!

This card is my entry for FS176 in honour of Iris and for Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge#44 set by Candace Mitchell based on Psalm 119:105: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

The challenge is to make a card using stamped words/verses/sentiments only (no stamped images).

This Bible verse from the book of Isaiah is really, really true as God is really the "Potter" of our life who moulds us to be like His son Jesus Christ.  Whoever we are, our whole being, our totality is a wonderful work of our loving God.  The verse was stamped using Versacolor Amethyst and was cut with Long Rectangle Nestabilities.  I sponged around the panel (while still inside the die) using Versacolor Misty Mauve and Petal Pink, sprayed with Glimmer Mist Pearl  then matted it with onto an orange cs. The lovely dsp is from Stacy Claire Boyd Eye Candy Collection (Garden of Love) which I bought from All About Scrapbooks few weeks ago.  The dsp is so gorgeous because of its bright but not overwhelming design. The colours are so lively! I did some piercing around the other panel and finished off the card with pearls, ribbon and a button that compelements the greens on the card. :)

Thanks so much for your visit.  This is my 2nd post for the day so just kindy scroll down so you can see the earlier post.

Good night and I'll see you again next post.  God bless us all!

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!

Labels Eight Birthday

This is a requested card from a church friend and obviously it's a birthday card. LOL! Well, I made use of my Labels Eight die to make the main panel.  The plum cardstock is from Bazill.  The white background was embossed with Victorian embossing folder and was sprayed with Glimmer Mist Pearl. Sentiment is from Jemac stamps.

Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!

BIRTHDAY CARDS

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Wow! We're already half year through and before we know it, it's Christmas once again! :) Time really flies so fast that's why we have to enjoy and thank God for every moment that He's blessing us.

Sorry for not posting for almost 2wks now.  As usual, I got busy with the kids and all especially that my DS2 is sick since yesterday.  It's officially winter here this month and it's the time of year where colds, cough and flu are always roaming around.  I was about to sit and stamp yesterday (if DS2 went to school) but he had to stay home. He's still absent from school today but I was able to make a card - just a simple one, just making use of my scraps.

Here it is:

And this one below, is a card I made last week for my hubby's birthday last Sunday.  I made use of my Lovely As A Tree and Weathered Background stamps from SU! and just printed the verse that I've chosen for him. (taken from Psalm 1)

Thank you for the visit once again.  And sorry for not updating you regularly lately.  Have a blessed day!

SC282 Sugarplums!

Yay! This is my first ever Sugarplums and she's called Cherry Emma and she's also one of the 4 Sugarplums stamps that I bought from Bizzy Becs (and the first one to be inked up)!  Isn't she cute just sitting on the swing? :)  I coloured her last night and decided to use her onto the card this morning.  I used the sketch provided by Rox at this week's SC282 over Splitcoaststampers.

The dp is from my stash and so are the green and red cardstocks.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts (Cupcake set) and the flower is from Magnolia Summer Kit.  The flower was stamped twice and I used pop dots for dimension.  I took a closer shot of the flower for you to see it.

The white panel which was cut with Labels Eight was from my stash along with the dp. I wanted to use it  so I called  my Stamp A Majig to the rescue (LOL!) to position the swing.  I don't normally use a cut paper or cardstock then do the stamping, it's always the other way around.  But I was challenged and remembered that I have my Stamp A Majig so, why not? ;)  It was a success though. LOL! (but I will still definitely stamp first then cut on my future projects unless the situation calls for it like this one). I also did some sponging for cloud effect using a sponge dauber, an oval scalloped cut cs and my Broken China Distress ink (Tim Holtz). All images were coloured with Copics.  I used my paper piercing mat pack to adorn the sides of the white panel so it won't look so bare and finished the card off with some Kaiser pearls (green).

Thank you so much for visiting and I just want you to know that I really had fun making this card!

God bless!
