Barakallah to Atun..

The wedding card was specifically ordered in blue. I tried to find the perfect baby blue colour card but unfortunately to no avail. Instead I only got this card which is kind of tiffany blue. I wasn't so keen with the colour at first. But the more I work on the design, the more I fell in love with this colour. In fact, tiffany blue is fast becoming the chosen theme for weddings nowadays. They're rare, unique and there's something romantic about it. Have a look at the wedding photos of this girl. I absolutely adore all the deco until the itsy bitsy details. So gorgeous! I just recently found out that she's a wedding planner as well. Ah, no wonder everything looks perfect.

A garland of roses, never fails to delight me. I used Versafine in onyx black to stamp the collage behind and I must say that I am absolutely satisfied with this brand. I've been looking for the best black ink for me in the market and I must have read hundreds of review from around the world. So basically I chose Versafine because it won't bleed hence it's suitable for coloring inside the images even with watercolour. It captures every fine details on the stamp and it's very clear. I absolutely want vivid black. Some ink pad just didn't produce the 'clearest' black. Also it's oil-based hence it's permanent. Yet it won't leave stain on my stamps. It's really easy to wash out.

Love is a many splendour things.

Simply cupcakes

I had a last minute order for a birthday card and a wedding card. Both for the same person. This girl is getting married a day before her birthday. Nice birthday present. Hehe.

Stamped cupcakes. I meant to leave it black and white at first because it looks so classic. But then, colouring it would be fun too and so I did.

Tiered foam for the 3D effect.

A peek on the inside. I know the card is really simple but that's what I like about it. The stark contrast of white card with colourful cupcakes. Sometimes the beauty lies in the simplicity :)

I'll post the wedding card later on. My lunch is waiting. Ciao.

Ok, now I have a thing for blue roses. The one I made here is quite a spontaneous idea. I feel it will be too pale a card if all were in pink colours. Then I remembered my wedding hand bouquet of blue and purple hydrangea. Blue is not in my list of favourite colour but now I do find certain hue of blue as striking and interesting. While I'm fiddling with these blue roses, my head is brimming with ideas of blue rose's cards. I can't wait to start on one but I have tons of laundry and cleaning up to do after my wedding leave. Patience honey.

This card is a request from a colleague for another colleague. I hope Puan Mimi likes this card :)

The countdown has begin =)

It's my wedding in one month! Ooh, so happy and excited. Who wouldn't eh. Hee. But most of all I'm so thankful to God that I met him. He has been so sweet and caring and nice and gentleman and patient with me. Not just to me, but to my family as well. I'm praying for a life of happiness ahead. I want to share all my joys and sorrows with him.

I made this card for my fiance. Hope he receive it first before reading this post though ;)

I looked over the net to find a nice 'number 1'. Kind of flowery, romantic and victorian but couldn't find any. So I made this using PhotoImpact. Phew, quite a number of try. Alas I'm really satisfied with this.

Pray for me and wish me all the best eh ;)

Soft and sweet pink

To me this is a sweet card indeed. I really adore soft pink and wedding. Much like I adore white and wedding. In this card, I assemble a few shades of pink. The base cardstock is the softest followed by a brighter pink paper which I inked the edges with white stamp pad. Then followed by the patterned paper with circle shapes in pink and chocolate.

The wordings were from 7 Gypsies wedding rub on and I stamped the pink circle cut out with collage pattern in white before rubbing on the words. I also add eyelets each and am so excited using it for the first time =)

I just love the pink roses. And I made it myself! Learned it from here. It is awesome since I really have a thing for roses and now I'm able to make it from any colour and any type of paper to embellish my project. The blogger has many other tutorials as well and it is very generous of them to share. Their art craft is amazing too. Do check out the awesome blog.

I'm so addicted that I make plenty in a go for keepsake. So it'll be easier to use whenever I want to. Oh sweet pretty roses=)
