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.

"Borders" - Imaginarium Designs

Hi, today I want to share a layout that I made for Imaginarium Designs. This month we are focusing on Borders. I love all the border chipboards.

"Beautiful Smile"



Using Blue Ferns paper collections, I made this layout of my girl wearing a disposable rain coat in the Singapore Zoo. The raincoat is actually quite big for me that we have to fold u the sleeves and tie the bottom shorter. But oh.. she looks adorable in it.

For the background of layout, I spread texture paste over stencils. Stamped some flourishes with grey distress ink.



Using 2 chipboard borders (Moroccan and Paul borders) and Clock & Compass chipboards, I lined them "hanging down" under the photo. Also lined up the title chipboard in same way. Cut a portion of the Moroccan border chipboard on the bottom corner. Gessoed all chipboards partially and colored them with Twinkling H2O's watercolors and Colorarte Primary Elements. Added some Prima pebbles to create texture.





I flicked some inks and mists over the page and added half pearls randomly. Added Prima flowers too.



For the journaling strips, I wrote on scrap paper and ink the edges with distress ink and pop them with foam tape.









Love all the chipboards and how pretty they dress up my projects.  Do hop over to Imaginarium Designs to see the other pretty projects by my fellow team mates.

Here's the chipboards I have used:

Hope my project gave you the motivation to craft. Have fun.

Shabby Chic Cards

Hi, everyone. This month at Imaginarium Designs, we are making birthday cards. I created 2 cards.

"Happy Birthday"





Mask the sides of card with washi tape and I misted the background with blue and pink mists. For the chipboards, I gesso them. Added some watercolors to the leave chipboards.





"Birthday Wishes"



For the 2nd card, I rub chalk inks over a stencil to create the background. Painted the vine flourish chipboards with mint acrylic paint. I created a triangle pocket to hold the necklace that I made. And used the Prima flowers to hide the pocket. Lastly added some half pearls randomly.









The second card with the necklace is made for Jessica. Happy birthday, sweet girl.

Cards & Tags - Imaginarium Designs

This month at Imaginarium Designs,  we are creating cards and tags. I made 2 mixed media style Congratulations cards.

"Congratulations"



Used Fabrika Decoru sand texture paste and stencil to create the background on watercolor paper. Then I misted over them and stamped swirls randomly.







Gesso the chipboard negative and positives. Watercolored the chipboard titles with Twinkling H2O watercolors. For this card, I used the negative chipboard corner as frame for the butterfly chipboard. Love how it fits perfectly.







Here's the chipboards I have used:

4 Swirls Corners (Negative)

9 Butterflies

Here's what I have created:

"Magical Forest" Shadow Box



I gesso the whole paper mache shadow box, adhered some twigs with heavy gel medium. Then I cover the box with sand texture paste, crackle paste (randomly) and watercolored with Ecoline Liquid Watercolors. Love how bright they are. I did put a coat of gesso wash over to dull the brightness abit. Sprayed some mists inside box to highlight the crevices and cracks. Then distress the edges with black soot distress ink.



Stamped and adhered 2 fairies along with Prima flowers and resin mushrooms. Lastly I used 3D Jewel paint to create little glittering dots (like stars).
