Newton strums a birthday song - entry for Inky Paws Challenge #42

Hi fellow crafters !

Today I'm taking on the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge. Their theme is Birthday ! Oh... I love birthdays because it is filled with cakes, parties, friends and BIRTHDAY SONG ! So much fun ! 

Going through my Newton Nook's stash, I realised that I do not have a birthday themed stamp set ! :( 

I cracked my brains hard and thought there should be something I could use for a birthday themed card. So, finally, I settled for the Aloha Newton stampset which I have yet used. I think Newton holding a Yukelele is just perfect! Newton strumming a Birthday Song would be so cute !! Here is my one layer card 😀 I love how this turned out ! 

First I started off creating the rainbow using a self made stencil and inked each layer using distress inks (abandon coral, fossilised amber, mowed lawn, broken china, seedless preserve) and covered each line as I blend using finger dauber sponge onto Bristol smooth card stock.

The clouds are then blended using mini ink blending tool with broken china distress inks and the bottom part of the card with cracked pistachio distress ink. I sprinkled some water droplets onto the card to create some water distress marks on my card.

Then, I stamped Newton using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and masked him before stamping the heap of flowers and leaves under him. I colored them in using copic sketch markers and outlined with copic multiliner 0.01 black pen.

Next, I positioned the sentiment from MFT birthday bears stamp set along the rainbow curve and stamped it using versafine onyx black ink. Using the musical notes from Mama Elephant Rock and Paws stampset, I stamped them randomly over and onto the rainbow using Versafine Onyx black ink and filled in the symbols with black marker.

Finally, I highlighted the musical notes with Sakura white gelly roll pen to give them a glossy look. Die cut this front panel with MFT wonky stitched rectangle die and adhered it directly onto a top folding horizontal Neenah Crest Solar White 110 lbs card base. And, my card is done ! 😇

Thank you all for stopping by. Hope to see you back again !

Droppin' in to say... I Miss U - MarkerPOP challenge #115

Hello !

Oh well, it's Monday greys... Haha... I have my first grey card to share with you today, inspired by MarkerPOP color challenge #115 - shades of winter. What a fun and challenging theme! This is quite a challenge for me because colorful cards are my usual style. But, I always LOVE a good challenge to start off a new week. 😁



Here is my take on MPC 115 using the cute panda image from Wplus9.

Using Wplus9 Friends for all seasons - Spring set, I stamped the adorable Panda and one little bird onto a white card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I use copic color C3 to slightly colored in some shadows on both images and cut them out using scissors.



I die cut a lamp post and fence using YNS Lamp and Fence die and use white gelly roll pen to add some highlights to the lamp post.


For the background panel, I used mini blending tool to ink blend a piece of A2 card size watercolor card stock with distress ink colors weathered wood, ice spruce and black soot. Blending starts from the sides moving inwards. This was then die cut using the largest of MFT wonky stitched rectangle die.


To make the lamp light more contrasting, I used embossing pen to loosely scribble in a circular motion and white heat embossed it.

To assemble the card, I glued down the fence, the lamp post and the birdie using my glue pen. Then, white heat embossed my sentiment above the fence. Lastly, I used foam tape to attach the cute panda beside the lamp post. Attach the whole panel to a top folding horizontal card base. And, my card is finished !



Thank you all for stopping by. Hope you guys won't ever be grey like Panda. Have a FUNfilled week ahead !!


Cheers,
Amy
