For Mom @ DS4J

Hello there! Wishing you great times on this beautiful day!

Over at Digistamps4Joy is an on going Anything Goes challenge with a twist For Mom in conjunction to Mother's Day celebration this entire month.

My team-B-mates have designed stunning cards for this special to inspire you and invite you to play along with us. Click here and link up your creation(s) before June set in.

Here's my card and tell me what you think. 

This has been one of my favorite Misteri series by the artist Jen Lee. Click here to purchase this pretty Misteri Graduate.

The sentiment is from Ginger's House which I printed long ago but never use. I was looking through my files and came across this printed word of wisdom and figured it's just perfect for this project. Why not!

I hope you find this card appealing and let me know if you feel the sentiment is true {smile}.

Until I see you again soon.

~Happy Mother's Day~

Hugs and smiles,

Good Cheers @ Digistamps4Joy

Happy Sunday everyone! I am so excited to share two projects with you today and our new releases at DS4J Shop.

For my first project, I played with watercolor paints in my art journal book using black and white mandala images drawn by our very new talented artist who joined the team at DS4J commencing today.

Let's welcome Delyth Angharad.

You can view more of Delyth's fabulous mandalas at her website.

For my project today, I used Flower 1 mandala.

Here are some close-up shots:

 I made textured background using texture paste through stencil.

 On both pages, I covered the side edges with serviette I recently bought. Firstly I glue down a ply of it then I brush off with light gesso.

 I printed the mandala into two different sizes on A4 paper and cut it out. Then I adhered them at the corners and used aqua brush to paint with watercolors. I also highlight the edges by making dots with black sharpie for interest.

 The background was painted with Deco Art paints and Buncho watercolors. I love to mix and match different brand of paints just for fun {smile}.

Next up is my second project that used a beautiful drawing by Jen named Thando.

I am a big fan of layers and have used three different pattern papers on my card.  

I truly hope you have enjoyed my lengthy post today.

Do visit DS4J shop for more awesome images.

Also the monthly challenge is still running until the end of this month.

Come join us and stand a chance to win digi prize of your own choice from DS4J.

Thank you for dropping by and wish you a nice week ahead.

Hugs and smiles,

The Dress @ DS4J

{My DT work for DS4J}

Hello everyone and a happy Sunday! It's a beautiful day today and I am enjoying life to the fullest or should I say my life is back to normal again after digesting extremely hectic life in three consecutive weeks. Except never ending laundry and weeding job to get done, all is well and wish you the same too {smile}.

It's the second Sunday of the month and that means a new release of digi stamps at Digistamps4Joy. Take a peek here and may you get some ideas and inspirations from the designers on how to use digi stamps in your creation.

I created a shabby card using The Dress image. I paper pieced the gown using patterned paper from Kaisercraft. I had so much fun sewing making the dress!

 Here are some close-ups:

I tucked in lace underneath the gown to give more depth and intricate detail. 

 Some punched leaves and Prima flowers to adorn my elegant lady.

 I always love distressing papers with scissor and the 3D layering of the pleated skirt gives me more satisfaction and happiness as well.

 I hope you like my shabby card this time and I do look forward to see what you will do with yours.

{My DT work for MHKDesigns}

Hello everyone! Many more is going on in my life today and the relief part is everything is under control {phew}. Eventually I was able to pull some weeds on my lawn, cleared the back space and thrashed away unwanted items in the backyard. I think I may need two weeks more to have a beautiful well kept garden but I must say gardening is a continuous process and maintaining it is a real challenge.

And so this is my second post of the day. This month we have a new release of five fabulous digital stamp sets at MHKDesigns Etsy Shop. 

Today MHKDesigns brings you And Many More digistamp.
