Whiff of Joy Challenge over Bizzy Becs

Hi everyone! Hope you're all feeling better and doing well wherever you are right now. We're having another very cooolllddd autumn here in Sydney atm and I guess winter came too early.
My friend Bec is currently having a Whiff of Joy challenge over her blog and me and the rest of the DTs made some inspiration cards for the said challenge. Here's my WOJ Willow card:



Aside from using Whiff of Joy image, part of the challenge is to use a lace on your card. For the full mechanics you can visit Bizzy Becs blog so you can also see the candy that's in store for the winner of this challenge.

I coloured my image with Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent. And while the cs is still in the die, I used my chalks for the background. I did like the outcome eventhough it's my first time to use chalk on my project. My lace which is a bit peachy and yellowish in colour is from Spotlight and check out my smallest flower. It's shimmering isn't it? Yeah, I got my first ever Shimmerz (Butter Cream) and used it on this one and I soooo liked it!

Here's a closer shot..

Look at that! It's so stunningly shimmery!!! I ordered this one along my ODBD stamp set from US and it's amazing how this Shimmerz adds a beautiful touch on anything. Guess I need to have the other colours as well, LOL!

Thanks for looking and for leaving lovely comments on my work. Just want you to know I appreciate it a lot! Thanks heaps! Gotta go now as I have to prepare for our Bible study tonight.

Blessings to all!

FS116 - It's KATHY! {Wattle}

Congratulations once again to you my dear Kathy! You deserve to have the title 'coz your cards are all elegant-looking and gorgeous. And yeah, I found it hard to choose which card to CASE but then, since I already have my first Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, I then decided to CASE your Bushfire Card Appeal card.

Here's my take:

I kept the lay-out (as I normally do when CASEing) but changed the dp, colours, stamp/sentiment and the ribbon. I also did some sponging around the focal point, heat-embossed in clear the sentiment and put some Kaiser pearls around the scalloped die-cut cs. The dp is from DCWV Nana's Nursery (boys) and they're glittery and sparkly IRL. I took a shot of it with flash so you can see the glittery part.

So Kathy, if you're reading this, this wonderful verse is for you! :) Yes, God makes all things beautiful in His time...and your FS week is one of those beautiful things. Visit her blog so you can see her wonderful card creations.

Sorry for not posting lately as I really have too much things on my plate atm but I will be posting more soon and show you some of my new toys. :)

Have a blessed day everyone!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #8

Hello fellow stampers and bloggers! Hope you're all doing very well by the grace and love of our Lord Jesus. Today I want to share with you my card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge. The theme for challenge #8 is .... CUPCAKE! (yum! one of my favs!)

I do not have the Tilda with cupcake and as I've mentioned before, I only have 1 Tilda stamp and that is Giggling Tilda (atm....hoping I could have more in the future). So, I browsed on my stamped Tildas (which I received as RAKs from my online pals) and improvised a card that incorporates a cupcake with Tilda. And here's my finished card:

The second photo below is a shot with some of the embellishments/accessories I used.




I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pecils and odourless solvent. This is originally Tilda Holding Rose. After colouring Tilda, I cut it out and cut the flower part and just left the stem. I then used my Rectangle Nestabilities (which I purchased from BizzyBecs) to cut a piece of Whisper White cs, sponged it with Versacolor while still in the dies then adhered Tilda there. I then stamped the Hero Arts Cupcake onto the lefover cs where the Tilda image came from (now that's frugal cardmaking, lol!). I coloured it with Prisma pencils as well and then embellish it with Copic Spica glitter pen, Dimensional Magic and Glitter Marker (for the cherry) then adhere it on the area replacing the flower that I cut. I then matted the white cs onto a Creamy Caramel die-cut in Scalloped Rectangle Nesties. I used my Cotton Candy Stickles for Tilda's wings and finished off the card with some dew drops for the horizontal panels. I also did some paper piercing onto the Creamy Caramel horizontal panels.

I really like the outcome of the card in general and the cupcake with Dimensional Magic on the frosting plus the glittery cherry!

Hope this one will somehow pass the challenge set by Kellie. Did you know what my eldest son said upon seeing this card? "Mum is she going to a marshmallow party?" LOL!!!!



Thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments as always.



God bless!

Hello everyone! How's everything? Are you busy preparing for Holy Week? I don't have a card to share but I do have a candy.

I don't know if I wasn't able to convey my message that I'm having a blog candy, lol! I actually posted it on my BLOGOVERSARY post but it seems that no one is interested to join (?). I was also thinking of modifying my post title as it doesn't have the blog candy words on it, maybe that's the reason why. :)

Anyways, yeah, I'm having a blog candy in celebration of my blogoversary! All you have to do to be able to qualify for it is to tell/make a comment which ones among my cards is your top favourite and include the link of that particular card/post of mine in your comment. Easy peasy!!! :)

And it will be more fun if you will spread the word to others about it. I will be extending this blog candy until 20 April, Monday at 11:59pm (Australia time). Winner will be announced on the 21st of April, Tuesday. This post will stay on top until that day so please scroll down for my latest posts.

I will post a photo of the candy you'll be winning in a few days. It's just a simple candy, and may not be as yummy as the other candies you see on other's blogs BUT it's practically something a stamper would love! The "basic" ones! :)

ETA: HERE ARE THE CONTENTS OF MY BLOG CANDY THE WINNER WILL BE RECEIVING:

1 Fiskars Flip n' Flop Clear Stamps set

1 Kaiserstamps Happy Birthday Set

1 Versafine Onyx Black ink pad

1 Spool yellowish gold organdy ribbon

To those who have already commented on my blogoversary post (like KathyJ), your comments are counted on this one. ;) But if you want to make another comment here, that would be fine.

Thanks heaps for your love and support!

May this Holy Week brings us to a much closer relationship to our Creator as we reflect on the selfless love He displayed on the cross.

Have a blessed day!
