June Moodboard Challenge

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to my blog. This month at Off The Rails Scrapbooking we are having a fun moodboard challenge.

I made 2 cards with this moodboard. Created 2 mermaid themes cards.



I watercolor the background with Winsor and Newton watercolor palette. Flicked some white spots with white mist. Stamped and pieced together the mermaid, plants and fishes.





For this card, I drew and hand cut the '"hole" in the diecut frame. Punched smaller holes with circle pouches.



I hope you enjoy my sharing of my cards. Do join us for our moodboard challenge. Have fun.

April Moodboard - OTRS

Hi, everyone. This month at Off The Rails Scrapbooking, we are having a Color Bombing Moodboard Challenge.

And here's my take on the challenge:

"Color Bombing" Cards



I made 4 cards with as many colors as I can incorporate.



Made this "Miss You, Friend" card for a school friend that I haven't met up for quite awhile. Hope she will like it. The blue flower is made by me using punches and adding colors with markers.



This is a shaker card. The whole card is diecut with Papertrey Ink dies. The banner is diecut from Lawn Fawn dies.



The "Happy Birthday" word is embossed with a embossing folder. I also brushed wink of stellar clear glitter over the words to make it "bling". Pop up the diecut frame with foam tape.



This is another card that I made for another friend who just celebrated her birthday. I love to layer my projects so for this card, I layer afew layers with foam tape to make them "pop".

For this month, I'm also sponsoring one prize for the challenge.

So do hop over to Off The Rails Scrapbooking and join us in our moodboard challenge. Have fun.

"Dreamer, Fly Away" Mixed Media Canvas & 2 Cards

Hi, everyone. Today I'm sharing about 2 cards and a mixed media canvas projects at Off The Rails Scrapbooking. I also did a video tutorial for the mixed media canvas so do hop over to watch. And do join us for our monthly moodboard challenge. I love this month's moodboard. Black & White with a color  of your choice.

"Special Card Reveal"

This month we have a special card reveal at our blog here. I made 2 cards using this month's moodboard.

"Love" Card



One is a easily put together card with stickers and diecut ephemera.





For the inside of the card, I adhered a negative cut out that I saved from a scalloped edge frame diecut.

"Happily Ever After" Card



The other card is inspired by my mixed media canvas. So you can see the similarities in design and color. I painted the butterfly and ornament chipboards with black shimmery acrylic paint. But from the picture can't really see the shimmery.





"Dreamer, Fly Away" Mixed Media Canvas

Finally time to reveal my mixed media canvas....





Do hop over to Off The Rails Scrapbooking for more closed up pictures and my video tutorial.

I hope you enjoy my sharing and join us for our challenge. Have fun.

Love Is In The Air

Hi, everyone. This month over at Off The Rails Scrapbooking, we are having a fabulous Red Valentine's theme.

So I made a Valentine's Day card for my hubby.

"Sending My Love"



Pardon the blur and hazy photos. It had been raining non-stop for few days when I took them. A wet Chinese New Year for us in Singapore. I die cut the front and card base with Papertrey Ink Front & Center #1 Die. And punched the tiny hearts of front cover with Martha Stewart punch and pasted a red cardstock behind.



Inside the card, I pasted a diecut scallop heart.



For the front deco, I die cut and stamped the images on them with Papertrey Ink "Don't Forget To Write" Kit. You have to diecut first then stamp as the diecuts have embossed outlines to show you where to stamp the flowers. The word "Sending" is a die in the same kit. Love them!!!!





Love this ribbon bow diecut. It added the final touch to my card.

Hope you enjoy my sharing. Do hop over to Off The Rails Scrapbooking and join us in our February challenge. Have fun.

Christmas Cards!!

Hi, everyone. Time passes so fast. Dec 2016 has come. That means Christmas is just round the corner. So I made a set of 3 Christmas cards for Imaginarium Designs.

"Christmas Cards"



Using red and white as the main colors, I rubbed chalk inks on white cardstock and pop them up with foam tape.



Painted the chipboards with acrylic paints. Using a gold pen, I drew the string for the baubles chipboards. Diecut tiny wreath and bow with Papertreyink dies and adhered to 2nd card.





For the Christmas wreath, I bought a 2nd hand wood mounted stamp. But realised that the stamp is spoiled. There are 2 lines there that just won't stamp and the stamp out is rather faint. But I love this stamp. So I just use a Zig black pen and draw over the image, filling in the missing parts too.

Colored the image with colored pencils. 

Cut out the wreath and pop up with foam tape.



Added the Kerri Flourish chipboards on the wreath and added a diecut tiny bow.



For all 3 cards, I used glitter glue to make random dots all over. Love the shimmering look.

Here's the chipboards I have used:

Hope you like my cards. Have a fun week.

"Traditions" - Off The Rails Scrapbooking
