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!

CPS Challenge #222

It's Saturday today, and I'm off to a lunch with some friends a little later - we're having Japanese.  I can't wait! But, before that, here's a card for the CPS Challenge.  I love MFT PI a lot, I'm sure you already know that... cos I've said it so often.  I think this card could be suitable for celebrating a number of ocassions like a new baby, a wedding maybe, etc.  I tried a new pink combo using copics RV11, RV02 and R00 for the little girl's dress and R30 & R32 for the flowers.

Oh, here's the CPS sketch and also the link to where you can post your entry to play along.

Enjoy your day!

Waltzing with WMS

The theme for today's Waltz is all about 4th of July/Americana.  Frankly, I'm a little nervous as I have no idea what to do.  All I know of the 4th of July are stars & stripes and fireworks.. errr. Hmmm...well, I suppose celebration also equals a tea party!  So, that's what my card is - a 4th of July themed tea party invitation.

I did a little paper piecing, colouring, and a frame using baker's twine.  To add a little interest, I added a couple of cute stars (can't forget to have stars!) at the bottom corner.  I hope I did ok.

Have fun waltzing!

Unity Friends with Flair - 17 June

Hello Unity Friends!!  It's that fun time where we get to be inspired by all the creative Unity fans.  I can't wait to see what everyone has made this week! Come join us and comment and you can win some Unity stamps - click here to start!

Here's my card:

Can you see the shimmer on the sand?

I had an awesome surprise this week because my June KOM arrived early!!  YAY!!  I really love the summer inspired images.  So, no suprises that my card has that fabulous image I've been dying to ink up eversince the Kit was revealed!  I stamped the image on a white cardstock and coloured it with copic markers and cut it out.  I stamped the image again with the help of a Stamp-a-ma-jig on the patterned paper and popped the cut out image above it. The sentiments are from 3 separate stamps (any guesses how I got the word "on"?) and I cut them apart to form the words I wanted.

Here's that superb kit:

 

Have you seen the new challenge on the Unity blog?  Ink up your summer images and play along with us.

Hope you like the card, and I'm off to do some hopping!!

The Craft's Meow parade

Hi again.  A new favourite stamping company of mine is The Craft's Meow.  I ADORE their stamps and I really wish I can buy every set in the store.  I think their stamps are quite my style, if I have one..haha..

Here are the cards: 

The first is a simple card and very easy to make. I stamped the fuchsias from Celebrating You set along the top of the card with Memento Lulu Lavender for a tone on tone effect. I stamped the fuchsia again on a white cardstock and coloured it with copic markers V000 & V01 & cut out one flower.  The sentiment label is from Timeless Tags set and I punched a hole on both ends of the tag to string the jute twine.  I think I'm going to make several colours of the same card to go in a set to give a friend.

You can see this card evolved from the above one. I decided to cut along the edge of the fuchsias and placed a piece of darker purple cardstock underneath.  I loved how fast and easy it was to colour the fuchsias using V000 & V01 and so I coloured all the flowers on this card.  The leaves were a little of a challenge and I used several colours of YG's (YG01, YG03, YG11, YG13, YG91, YG93, colourless blender) till I achieved a look I like (haha.. sometimes I don't know what I'm doing..).

Now, this last card is something that comes rather easy to me.  Love this image from Sending You Sunshine set.  The trees and the bird & bee are part of one image and the clothes are all separate images. I used a mix of Jillibean papers here for the border and paper piecing.  The rest I coloured using various copic markers choosing the same colours from the floral border paper.

I guess you realise I'm having so much fun with these stamps, right?  There are a couple more cards in the making still from another two stamp sets.  Will share these soon...

Have a creative day!!

Feel Better Soon

I love WMS sketch challenges, but I don't own many WMS stamps (hoping to get more soon ;)). For my card today, I opted for some pretty papers from Webster's Pages to decorate the card.  I love the vibrant colours of the Spring Market collection and felt it would make a nice uplifting card for someone who isn't feeling too good.  I also made some rolled paper flowers and used some punch-outs to decorate the card.

It's been so hot and humid here the past week, hoping for cooler weather soon.

Take care!

Stamps : WMS Afternoon Tea (frame), Afternoon Tea Sentiments (sentiment),  Faux Fun Circles (pattern on one of the rolled flowers)

Paper : Webster's Pages Spring Market 6x6 pad, Waiting for Santa 6x6 pad, PTI kraft cardstock

Ink : Memento Rhubarb Stalk, Rich Cocoa, Lady Bug
