Prince Charming or Dragon?

Good morning! Today, I'm sharing a notebook I made for a birthday boy born in the year of the Dragon. I find the MFT Magical Dragons stamp set so apt and decided to create a scene with this set for the front cover of the notebook. 

I colored the "main characters" before fussy-cutting them out and adhering them to a white background. I then sealed it behind a transparent cover as I wanted to keep the white background clean. After all, this is a notebook and will get dirty over time.

Here is a look at the entire cover. I'm submitting this design for the MFT Sketch Challenge 342, which my layout coincidentally matches. How nice!

Thanks for dropping by and have a great day (or evening)!

Spring Colors

I made this card some time ago but never got around to sharing it online. 

I colored this cute Whimsy stamp with Promarkers, before I got my scraps of DSPs together to form a card. I also found a ribbon from my stash to add on to the card.

I finally added some shimmer to the red heart balloon. 

I am submitting this card for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Spring Color Inspiration.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a wonderful time ahead!

Nov Farm Fresh Challenge: Fall Colors!

I made this birthday card for one of my "oldest" friends - I've known him since we were five!

I colored this TGF image with copics, using brown for his hair and dark yellow for his shirt to include fall colors.

Thank you for visitng my blog and have a good day!

A Sweet Piggy Card

The latest birthday card for Miss Piggy. She is a pretty and skinny Miss Piggy though. :p

LOTV Kitchen Herbs

Made this birthday card for a friend who loves to cook and grow herbs. As it was the year-end season with tons of presents to wrap and gifts to buy, I made the card in one night.

Its amazing what one can do under pressure!

The "Bird-Day" Card

A simple birthday card using stickers, punches and embossing folders. I had fun putting the different components together. 

I love pink. A lot of my cards have pink in it. The colour goes well with any other colours.

LOTV Soccer Boy

My first attempt at making a card for a male. I tried to choose colours that I think are more masculine, such as blue and green.

Another stamp from LOTV which has been retired. Now I own a very valuable stamp. :)

LOTV Present Trio

I made this card for my favourite cousin and am pretty pleased with how it turned out. The bottom image is a bit fuzzy as I did not stamp it as well as I should. Still feel that I need to improve on my colouring... 

LOTV Woof You!

The puppy looks deceptively simple to colour, but it didn't come out satisfactory. I will need more practice. 

On hindsight, I should have cut the ribbon shorter. Well, a cute "pinky" birthday card for a young girl. 

LOTV Chocolate Box

My very first birthday card for a colleague. Took me a while to think of a concept and order my favourite punches and stamps. I am crazy about LOTV stamps. They are such good quality and cute stamps!

The colouring of the image is not that great. Well, it's my first attempt after all. :p
