I have a great news to share!

Good morning!

Two weeks ago I added my name into the linky at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Design Team Call. I have been playing the challenge on and off when ever I get the time. A big fan of Simon Says Stamp. By the time I put my name in there, there were more than 150 entries. And when the call closed, there were 425 entries. Among the entries were many many talented designers. To be honest, I did not for once think, I will be selected. So when I received the email from Simon Says Stamp that I am selected for the design team, I was in shock. I was about to go to bed and I thought I was hallucinating lol! You know it happens when you are really exhausted at bed time. So I refreshed my email page and still found the email. Hahaha! So it is true then :) I read her email couple of times and then accepted. With such excitement I could not fall asleep immediately lol!

 I am extremely thrilled to join Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge team.

Cannot wait to start sharing my projects for the challenges. Join me and play Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. 

Thanks so much for sharing my exciting news with me :)

Hugs!

Smile, it's your Birthday!

Hello again,

A quick post today sharing a card I made using the new Wplus9 goodies that arrived last week.

 Watercolouring is massive at the moment. I love the technique as it is very forgiving. No need to have a clean and crisp image. More softer the image, the better it looks. But then this stamp set called Watercoloured Anemones from Wplus9 comes along and you can stamp watercoloured images without watercolours or brush. How cool is that? I love such stamp sets. To somebody like me who is a beginner at watercolouring, this set is perfect to achieve the professional watercolour look without having to do watercolouring. Yay!

So I stamped the flowers and leaves from Watercoloured Anemones stamp set and created the background on the card front. I then die cut the "Smile" from Flower doodle dies three time with black cardstock. They are stacked and glued with glossy accent which I also applied generously on the top to get the glossy finish to the die cut. The smaller sentiment is from Strictly Sentiments 5 stamped on a strip of white cardstock, trimmed fish tail edges and added to the die cut sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today.

June Pin Sights Challenge

I am back today with a card I made for this month's Pin Sights Challenge by Ellen Hutson.

Here is the challenge mood board.

I loved the open paint cans lined up next to each other. Tried to recreate that pattern but I wanted to add a bit more than just coloured circled next to each other. I chose Bokeh Dots stamp set by Ellen Hutson to make my card because I wanted to use the two outline circle images in the set. I stamped the large circles next to each other in two rows. Then the smaller circles again white heat embossed inside the large circles offset at different sides. Watercoloured using Zig Clean Brush Pens. Here is my finished card.

The sentiment is from Amazing Women stamp set also from Ellen Hutson is white heat embossed on black cardstock. I cut the edges into fish tail and adhered on the watercoloured panel with some gold thread and foam adhesive. Finally Sparkly Clear sequins to embellish and bring the card together.

The colours are gorgeous inside the circles and makes a great impact.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Get well soon cards!

Oh! Hello everybody, Glad to be back blogging after four days. Life became busy over the week. Although I crafted, I had no time to blog plus the weather is very overcast with periods of rain which means no natural light to take photos either. It felt like I haven't blogged forever!!!  Finally I managed to take some decent photos my cards today. Thought I will share them with you.

I wanted couple of get well cards to give couple of my friends who are having health issues. So I went ahead and made a a set of five cards. Sharing only three today with you.

I have used Avery Elle's Get Well stamp set to make my cards. To start with I simply stamped five bouquets on white cardstocks and coloured them with copic markers. I then hand cut them all out. So now I have five different coloured bouquets to make cards with. The use of different pattern papers and layout on the cards makes a set off five cards.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. Love how big and bold the main sentiment is with the smaller sentiment below. I have used Doodlebug's Sparkles to accent my cards.

Here are the rest two of the cards and closeups.

I will share the last two tomorrow.
