I love peacock feathers

Hello dear bloggers,

So here is the 1st of March - wish you all a happy month ahead. 

This card below was made for the Singapore Council of Women's Organizations (SCWO) to be used for the women's shelter as a thank you card to their many donors. 

I have used bright gold washi tape and a satin ribbon with peacock feather print from Spotlight. 

The little jewellery tag (which is actually the smallest nestie from a pack) is my new buy and I wrote 'thanks' on it. I tied the tag with a gold yarn to the ribbon. 

I have to give myself a pat for this simple beauty.

I will submit this card for the following challenges:

https://audsentimentschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ - must include a sentiment

Happy card making,

The perfect pear

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is another card to show you today made with a rubber stamp and hand coloured with Pentel water colour tubes. I randomly stuck washi tape on the Kraft background and used packaging cartons for dimension under the stamped paper and the one below that. I quite like the way this card turned out. 

Happy card making,

Monica 

Tiny new bundle

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today. The clear stamp is from Kaiser and the sentiment is handwritten with a Copics marker. Aleeza coloured the roly-poly elephant with a Prisma pencil and we went over it with Pentel water colours. I think she did a pretty good job.

 I got the inspiration from a Studio G stamp to handwrite the sentiment since I made a boo boo while stamping it. I have used carton packaging instead of foam dots.  

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Rooster from a coaster

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today. The image is actually a coaster that was in the breakfast room of a hotel in Jakarta. The background on the cardstock below has been created with shaving foam and food colouring. It all came together beautifully I thought. 

The BIRTHDAY sentiment has been die cut from a scrap of wallpaper. 

I hand wrote the HAPPY on the coaster with a red Sharpie. I do think I could have done better with the dot on the i of the "birthday". And yes, I have used glossy accents on the feathers of the rooster for added interest. 

I do like my card overall. 

I will enter my card in the following challenges:
