Happy Birthday: A Pink Glittery Snail from Under

 

CASology has had this awesome CUE CARD this week: Under. And here is my take on it.

Happy Birthday with PTI Springtime Doodle

Even though the challenge is over, I still wanted to post this sweet snail.. saying Happy Birthday from down Under :)

Happy Birthday with PTI Springtime Doodle

 

The Pretty Pink snail.. in all it watercolour-ed and glittered glory :)

Entering this for the challenges

The Springtime Doodles stamp set wasn’t easy at first to use. Pinterest helps a lot for great inspiration. But I am glad I found what to do with this stamp set. Create little scenes and water colour them for the best use of this stamp set, or any other whimsical stamp set.

What went in:

  • Stamp: PaperTrey Ink’s Springtime Doodles 
  • Inks: Memento Cocoa Ink and Archival Black
  • My daughter's Watercolours and Fabriano Elle-Erre paper

 

Thanks for stopping by :)

Cheers
JC.

PS: I am glad that the husband doesn’t drop in at my blog often… coz this is for him :)
PPS: Did you notice that the dictionary background has Birth & Birthday in it? :)

Rain or Shine!

Image
When ICR has a Rain theme, I was looking around for some ideas and this is the stamp I landed on and fell in love with. Ujjwal recently sourced this for me. And I am glad I am able to use this in another ICR Challenge – the Challenge #10 . Here is the sketch grabbed from the ICR Challenge Pad I wanted to CASify this sketch – inspired by non other than Simplicity . And this is what I came up with. Isn’t the sentiment super sweet? :) How to: Stamp the image in black – Hero arts black ink. Image used is Ippity’s Rain or Shine Made two masks: one for the legs and also one mask to mimic grass Taped the masks down and stamped the grass repeatedly using Ippity A Bit of Burlap Stamped the sentiment which came with the image. Stamped the image’s umbrella on a piece of felt, cut it out, mounted it and popped a white pearl on it. Felt and pearl from itsybitsy . Pearl coloured black using a gel pen Pencil coloured the shirt and the skirt. Contemplated on making the card shorter...

Scallop Sizzix Album

Now say that title again. One more time..One last time.. Tongue twister isnt it? But there is nothing twisted with these gorgeous Sizzix album dies . They cut through those multiple layers of papers so beautifull and they cut chipboard too. Yout must see the finish to believe. See all those die cut pages nestled between the album cover?? I cut a bunch of DCWV papers (Flower stack) amd fabriano papers with the Sizzix Scallop Rectangle #2 . The center polka dots were stamped (Papertrey) on a frame die cut with Sizzox Decorative Frames. I chose the colours from the papers. Then added the layers of frames topped with this pretty bunch of felt flowers. The nice thing about the Frames is that, you can add layers without adding bulk. The die actually cuts those skinny frames which can be layered within each other - alllowing you to build layers sans bulk. Awesome idea!!
