Winnie & Walter Leading Lady Take One + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
I’m SO excited (and so honoured) to be May’s Leading Lady with Winnie & Walter! Yay, May is one of my favourite months!!

Today I will be sharing with you my watercolor floral background with the In Bloom: Elsa’s Flora & Renee’s Leaves stamp sets.

I started by heat embossing outlined flowers and leaves from two flower stamp sets (In Bloom: Elsa’s Flora & Renee’s Leaves) on watercolor paper in white. I stamped images using Versamark embossing ink, and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I then watercolored the stamped background with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor and a wet flat brush. I applied clean water on the panel first, and then added warm colours. I used (dark to light) No.36 Wine Red, No.32 Red, No.33 Orange, No.43 Mid Yellow.
For the image on the watercoloured panel, I decided not to color. I just stamped an adorable baby elephant from the Welcome to the Family set in black ink, and then die cut it with the Welcome to the Family Cutaways. For the sentiment, I heat embossed “Sending big hugs” from the Big Hugs set on black card stock in white, and then trimmed it out with the Sketchy Thoughts Cutaways.
Once the watercolored panel was completely dry, I trimmed it out with the larger rectangle panel die in the Essentials: Lana Cutaways. Finally, I mounted all elements as shown to top-folded white card base using foam tape.

Shay has generously donated a $30 gift card for me to give away here! To be in with a chance of winning, just leave a comment on my Winnie & Walter Leading Lady posts (every Saturday in May). I’ll announce the winner at the end of the month! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

MFT May Release Countdown – Day 3

Hello crafty friends, blessed Sunday!
Welcome to the My Favorite Things May Release Countdown Day 3.

My card today features the Ocean Pals Stamp Set & Die-namics along with other MFT products.

Here are my easy to follow watercoloured sea scene tutorial with step by step pictures. :)
I die cut a piece of watercolour paper using stitched rectangle panel die in the Blueprints 29 Die-namics. I placed the Ocean Waves Die-namics on the panel, then die cut them.
I watercoloured 4 pieces of the panel (from the bottom) blue using Peerless watercolors, and then made sunray on the top part using the Radiating Rays stencil and Scattered Straw Distress ink. I made self-adhesive sheet using double-sided tape.
I removed the tape from the sheet, and then adhered all pieces on the sticky paper panel.

I stamped and watercoloured all sea creatures from the Ocean Pals stamp set, die cut them with the Ocean Pals Die-namics. Once the background panel was dry, I mounted it on top-folded Primitive White card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements as shown to the card front using foam tape.

Altenew – Hugs

Hello again! (This is my second post of the day, for the MFT WSC 330, click HERE.)
I’m up on the Altenew blog today with my faux watercoloured hugs card using the Garden Treasure stamp set and the Inline Alpha die set.

To create the card, I 1) Die cut a piece of watercolour paper using A2 sized rectangle panel die. 2) Stamped leaf from the Garden Treasure set randomly onto the panel with some green colored Altenew dye inks: Evergreen, Forest Glades, Frayed Leaf, Bamboo, Parrot, Olive, and Moss. 3) Ink blended the edges of the stamped panel with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and mini ink blending tool. 4) Brushed all over the panel using a wet paint brush – Altenew dye ink is lightly mixed with water before the ink was dry. 5) Die cut the word “hugs” from white card stock using the Inline Alpha die set five times each alphabet, and then glued each alphabet thicker using fine tip glue pen. 6) Mounted the panel on white card base using glue tape, then added the sentiment die cuts on the bottom part of the card front using fine-tip glue pen. 7) Embellished with a few clear droplets.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

SSS Floral Easter Cards

Hello crafty friends, happy Easter weekend!!
Today I want to share with you my couple of floral Easter cards with the Suzy’s In Full Bloom Watercolor Paintable Prints.

Here is what I came up with:
To create the card, I watercoloured the image with Peerless watercolors and a wet paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it out using the Stitches Rectangle panel die, and then mounted it on top-folded Lipstick Red card base using double-sided tape. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Uplifting Thoughts set on black card stock in white, fussy cut it, then added it on the card front using foam tape.
It’s so easy to make with the Suzy’s In Full Bloom Watercolor Paintable Prints!!

My second card is pretty much the same as the first. I watercoloured the flower image with Peerless watercolors. Once it was dry, I fussy cut it, and then stamped the sentiment (from the Happy Easter stamp set) on the yellow flower in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I mounted it on Lipstick Red card base using foam tape. I embellished with a few PPP clear droplets & sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy Easter, everyone!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
