Daisy Doodle Challenge #46

Hello again!  I'm sharing a Christmas card with a beautiful Poinsettia digital image from Daisy Doodles.  I printed the image on Copics X-press It Blending paper, and coloured the image using copic markers (R22, R24, R29, Y21 & Y17).  I created a scored border on the kraft cardbase using my Scor-buddy and made 2 slits at the bottom to string the ribbon.  The Season's Greetings sentiment was stamped all around the edge of the card.  Then I cut out the Poinsettia image and adhered it to the cardbase with some pop dots and added some tiny blings to finish off the card.

Please join us for the Daisy Doodles challenge, it's Anything Goes with a Digi week, so it's a great challenge to play along.  Please visit the Daisy Doodles blog for more inspiration from the Design Team.

I am a sweets girl!  I love all sorts of desserts and they are best shared with friends.  I'm not sure if this is unique to Malaysia, but local hotels and some restaurants have afternoon buffets called High Tea where one can sample unlimited cakes and finger food which I absolutely enjoy.

This Daisy Doodles image reminds me so much of an afternoon of desserts and fun fellowship with friends.

The image was coloured with Copic Markers and the patterned paper is from Echo Park, Victoria Garden.  The edges are sponged with Distress Ink Scattered Straw.  For more inspiration from Daisy Doodles team, please click here.  Don't forget, there's still time to play along the Halloween challenge at Daisy Doodles.

I hope you have a fun day!!  Don't forget to comment, for your chance to win the giveaway on this post.

 

Daisy Doodles Challenge #44

This week's new Daisy Doodles Challenge theme is centred on Columbus Day/Sail Away - think boat, shore, relaxing, etc.  Here's my card:

 

I used the Daisy Doodles image from Summer Fun, i.e. the Umbrella & surfboards.  The patterned paper is from Webster's Pages Yacht Club 6x6 pad and the sentiment is from Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz set "Just Thoughts".  It's a good time to pause and reflect on life when you're at the beach, isn't it?

Please visit the Daisy Doodles challenge blog for more inspiration and information on this week's challenge.  I hope you join us, and I can't wait to see what you create.

Take care,

Daisy Doodles Challenge #43

 

Hi! There's a new challenge at Daisy Doodles this week, in celebration of Canda's Thanksgiving.  My card uses the Pumpkin image and I coloured it with Copic Markers (YR07, YR15, YR17 & E04, E11, YG91).  At Daisy Doodles, we'd like to welcome two new team members too, Stephanie and Mandy!!

Daisy Doodles Challenge #41

I had a blast working with the Postcard image the last challenge, and I couldn't resist using it again on this card.  I know some of you are enjoying your Summer holiday, so this card is especially for you.  Take time to have a good break and some fun!

On this card, I used the Postcard and the Notebook image from Schooltime.  I folded the Notebook a little and used pop dots on both ends of the book to give it some dimension.  The Notebook was coloured with Copic markers B01, E02, E00, E31.  The Postcard was distressed along the edges, and the stamp on it was coloured with colourpencils. To add a little interest, I adhered some tickets & stamped a sentiment on the card.

For details on the challenge and more inspiration, please visit the Daisy Doodles' blog.

Thanks for visiting, and have a lovely day!!

You Are In My Thoughts

 

It's time for Tableau Tuesdays at Daisy Doodles.  I have another CAS card to share ;-), guess I am on the roll for CAS.  For my card, I used the Apple Basket image - love this sweet image.  I coloured the image with Copic Markers, I didn't have the right red markers for the apples but I suppose pink apples would work too.  The card measures 3.5 x 3.5" and I found a patterned paper which was perfect with the basket.  I cut a strip of kraft cardstock for the sentiment, and adhered it onto the card with foam adhesive.  Then I popped up the Apple Basket image and added a couple of blings to finish off the card.

Hope you are having a great day, and please visit the Daisy Doodles blog for some wonderful inspiration from the team. 

Thanks!

Daisy Doodles Challenge #40 - Postcard

Happy Monday!  It's time again for a new Daisy Doodles Challenge, and this week, the challenge is to use a postcard on a project.  I decided to make a little fun tag this week.  I covered the tag with some patterned papers and resized the Daisy Doodles Postcard to fit.  Added some colouring to the images on the postcard and stamped the "Hello" sentiment on it.  To finish off the tag, I couldn't resist adding the pencil from the Schooltime set.

I hope you like the tag, and I'd like to invite you to participate in the challenge.  I can't wait to see what you create.

Daisy Doodles Challenge #39 - School Time

It seems like I've taken a loooong break from blogging... so it's good to be back.  I had a great time in Chicago but more about that in a later post.  Today's card is for the new Daisy Doodles Challenge #39, with a School theme.  I have to say this is not entirely my thing, as I don't have any friends with young kids.  So, this is my best shot {grins}.

A thoroughly simple card to put together.  I used all images from the Daisy Doodles School Time set.  I printed the images, coloured them with copic markers & cut them out and assembled them on the card.  I don't have any red markers and so I used the apple from the patterned paper instead. 

Do check out the Daisy Doodles blog for all the challenge details and make sure you join us this week.

Have a fun week!!

Paper : Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar Soup 6x6 pad

Daisy Doodles Summer Challenge #37

It's time for a new challenge at the Daisy Doodles challenge blog.  The theme this week is all about Summer and I think it's a really fun one ;)

For my card, I chose the daisy flip flops (LOVE this image!!) from the Summer Fun digi set.  I coloured it with some copic markers (B00, BG10 & Y21 & Y17) then cut it out using Spellbinders Label One die.  The flip flops image was then stacked on top of another Label 16 die.  Added a sentiment and some faux stitching and the card is done.

I hope you'll join us this week, don't forget that you'll get a chance to win some Daisy Doodles image!  Look forward to see your creations.

Best Wishes

Hi Everyone! It's time again for Daisy Doodles' Tableau Tuesdays.  Here's my card:

I used the Wheel Barrow image and I love how easy it is to add some colour to dress it up for a card.  I printed the image on a lilac cardstock and coloured it with copic markers.  The patterned papers are all from Pink Paislee and I secured a ribbon with baker's twine to finish off the card.

Have an Amazing day!

Daisy Doodles Challenge #36 - Stars and Stripes

Hi!  I hope you had a marvellous Father's Day celebration over the weekend.  We took my dad out to dinner and he enjoyed being out and the food.  On Sunday morning, I spent some time with him sitting outside the house, basking in the morning sun and watching the world go by.

It's time for another Daisy Doodles Challenge!  For this week's theme, I thought a little cupcake might be fun, with some stars and stripes.  The cupcake image was coloured with copic markers (B32, B34 & B37 (base); R30 & R32 (cake); RV00 & RV02 (icing); R32, R35 & R37 (strawberry)).

Come play along with us - the rules are very simple, found here.

I look forward to see your creations ;)

Have a good week!

For You

Today, I have a card made to play along with CAS-usal Fridays challenge.  My card recipe is Emboss, Felt, Twine, and here it is:

Click on image for Close up to see the embossed patterned paper

Emboss = embossed the pattern paper using an impression plate
Felt = the green felt grass
Twine = jute twine around the focal image

The card didn't take long to make, I did some really quick colouring on the digital image, cut out the stamped sun & cloud image, die-cut the felt grass and made a little sentiment tag.  The end result was a summery card.

Have a marvellous day!

Daisy Doodles Challenge #35 - Masculine card

Hi, today it's time for a new Daisy Doodles' Challenge - create a Father's Day/Masculine card.  I wanted a beach scene for my card.  When I was young, we used to live in the north-east of Malaysia where some of the most beautiful beaches are.  And my happiest memories were spent on the beach with my parents.

For this card, I used the image from Summer Fun set.  I love the hammock and the palm trees.  The image was coloured using Copic markers, and sponged with some Distress Ink Antique Linen.  The background was created by inking Memento Danube Blue directly all over a Sizzix Embossing folder on the debossed side and then ran through my Cuttlebug.  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Gina K.

Come play along with us, the info are at the Daisy Doodles' blog.  I look forward to see what you create.

Hello Weekend & Exciting News

It's the end of another busy week, and I'm glad the weekend is finally here.  I'm planning to do some shopping, meet up with friends and make some cards!  What about you?  I hope you get to do all that you enjoy this weekend!

Now for some news... I've been invited to join the Daisy Doodles Design Team!  It's exciting because I've never been on a DT and so I can't wait to join the fun.  Daisy Doodles is owned by Julie Ball and she has some amazing digital stamps!  I love how easy it is to achieve great results with digital stamps.  You can resize the image to fit your project, print on patterned paper for paper piecing technique, colour in the images if you love colouring like I do, and more.  There's lots of fun at the Daisy Doodles' challenge blog with prizes to win, and check out the store as well.

When Jo, the Daisy Doodles DT Coordinator, asked for a photo of me for her post, I gave this pic:

 

I was on a boat in Halong Bay (translated as "Decending Dragon Bay"), a UNESCO World Heritage site in Vietnam.  It's a beautiful bay a little south-east of Hanoi, with beautiful limestone formations and calm waters. The weather was a little cloudy and foggy but it was still lovely, and we spent the night on the boat. It was one of the most beautiful places I've visited in Vietnam.

I'd love to share a card with Daisy Doodles' digi stamp.  There's a current challenge on the blog in conjunction with Memorial Day in the US.  Here's my card:

The boat image was coloured with copic markers and I added a little clear glitter where the water is.  The card measures 4.25x4.25".  

I hope you'll have a safe weekend, and have fun!
