Softpencil Tuesdays!

Hello and happy Softpencil Tuesday! Last week, I showed you the very new Sky Collection. And this week, we are featuring one of the new images... This is Starry Nights! So so cute, Ratiny and Michu are chilling on the moon, hehe! Click HERE to see the whole collection!

On to my card, I was in the mood for some grey(s) today, so... I kept everything in mono tone. Since I recently re-organized my stickles, I cannot help it to add some sparkles on the moon. Smiley from millan.net

Lots of fun with Inks and Paints...

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!Smiley from millan.net

I hope you are enjoying the weekend. A few friends and I took the Ink Paint Technique class #3 and #4 at local scrapbooking store (Absolutely Everything, Topsfield, MA) We had so much fun and learned a bunch of cool techniques.

Here are the tags that we made during the first class IP#3, each tag contains different technique focusing on Ranger dabber acrylic paints.

Here are the tags from IP #4, we were playing with Alcohol inks!!! Smiley from millan.net

And of course, can't leave the store without buying some goodies. Smiley from millan.net

Love my flowers...

Yay and TGIF!!! We all love our FLOWERS. And it's spring time and Mother's Day coming up... What a perfect excuse to create some flower cards. Well, I discovered these beautiful Heartfelt Creations stamps last year, but I didn't do too much with them. But last Friday during CKC in Manchester, I took a class from them. I fell in love with these stamps even more... they are just gorgeous. I brought a few set of stamps with matching Spellbinders. Hehe!

And here are a couple of cards that I created. For both cards, I used the Posy Patch Flowers Precut set and the Angel Trumpet Flower Precut set.



I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Have a great day! Hugs!

More TESTING!!!

Hello and how are you? Happy Wednesday! So, I was late last night, I should be in bed... but then, my crazy brain was thinking... let's try something different! I used this new stamp set (I won this as a door prize from the class that I took during CKC, woohoo!) from Heartfelt Creations called Posy Patch Flowers Precut set.

First, I used the sponge dauber and colored this flowers with Colorbox chalk ink in dark peony.

Then, I thought... I can use a darker purple or something to add a deeper shade. But then, I thought why not.... Use the Faber-Castell Gelatos!!! I rub some purple gelato on the craft sheet, then sprayed it with perfect pearls mist in interference red, and I brushed it on the flowers. I allowed it to air dry (but you can dry it with a heat tool).

Of course, I need some blings! I also added some Melissa Francis glass glitter in the middle of the flower.

Viola! I also added some Ranger Rock Candy on the flower too, but the camera didn't pick it up. Hope you like it... Until next time, have a wonderful day!Smiley from millan.net

My first Button Farm project - DONE!

Howdy, so yesterday... you saw what a picture of the beautiful kit that I brought from the Button Farm, this is the InSpiration Journal kit. I worked on it last night and all day today. And I'm finally done... well, I need some final touches, such as blings and pearls.

There are total of 16 pages with extra pages to journal, but here are a few pages from the album...



I love it and now I have to decide what to put in it. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
