Enjoy the ride card


 


I decided that last week's upcycled envelope project needed a matching card so here it is. :)


Washi tape, fussy-cut elements and some dimensional bits for interest...


Finished with a spray of gold mist of course. :)

Workspace Wednesday - Tombow Irojiten colored pencils



 So I was recently gifted this set of 30 Tomboy Irojiten Colored Pencils by my cousin for my birthday.




In this set, there are 3 boxes containing 10 coloured pencils each. They are packaged to resembled books so that they look very aesthetically appealing on a shelf.



Here are the colours in the set I got.

P/s: There are 100 colours in total...and I am tempted to get the rest of the colours to complete the set. Should I? Let's play with these a bit and see how I like them first. *winks*

Make Stuff Monday - choose to shine decorated paper bag


 


It's been a while since I last decorated any paper bags. 


But I recently got my hands on this lovely sturdy one. :)


And went to work with my recently fussy-cut elements. *winks*


Finished with a mist of gold shimmer of course. :)

What do you think?

Friday's Workspace - the week in eye drawings using my new electric eraser


 


So I recently got an Afmat electric eraser and it's been a game-changer. :)


I now spend less time trying to create "realistic" skin texture...I just use my eraser! *winks*


Not that hyper-realism is my goal...haha. 


I just really enjoy layering colours to create depth and perception.


What about you? Do you use an electric eraser?

CNY 2024 Layout #1


 


Yes friends, the CNY 2024 decorations are down and ready to use on layouts! Here is Layout #1. :)


Kept everything relatively simple since the CNY decor is so colourful and glittery. *winks*


Just some washi tape, twine and paper clip for a little interest at the right corner.


And a journaling banner...

Those dragon heads are so cute, right? *winks*

Workspace Wednesday - fussy-cutting


 


Err...yes...what started as fussy-cutting for a current project has turned into fussy-cutting the whole paper stack. *sheepish grin*

My wrist hurts but I now have a whole bag full of fussy-cut elements, ready to add to any new project...and that makes me happy. :)

What is on your workspace today?

Tuesday's gratitude page is all about the "new" Nespresso machine


 


A couple of years ago, I bought a used Nespresso machine for $50. It was a really old model but it worked and served me well. Then it died. *insert sad music*

Then I scored another Nespresso machine ...a current-selling model...for $50. It's slimmer, sleeker and red! 

This isn't the best photo but since the old machine has been recycled, this will have to do. I tried to distract from the photo with those birdies. Did it work? *LOL*


P/s: I try to buy pre-loved stuff whenever possible...do you?

Mixed Media Monday - Let's upcycle a cardboard envelope for happy mail


 


It's been a while...but for this project, I played with gesso, acrylic paints, gelatos, stencils and gold mist! *high fives all around*

I started with this cardboard envelope courtesy of Amazon Japan. And decided to do a mixed media happy mail package.


I covered the whole envelope with brown paper packaging (Sephora is overzealous with its brown paper packaging...*winks*), applied washi tape around the edges...and then just had fun with my art supples. :)


Added a mat for the recipient's name and addy...


....then adorned the "frame" with fussy-cut elements.




Might have gone overboard with the colours...but I had fun!



Happy week ahead friends!

Guess who has been attending baking class?


 


Guess who has been attending baking class? *winks*


Yep...that would be Mummy Yam. :)


Check out the roses on those cupcakes!


She's just taking these classes to pass time....She will not make these at home. Same as my sister, who has attended a ton of cooking classes but never cooks at home. *LOL*


Meanwhile, the one who cooks at home (aka me) has never attended a single cooking/baking class. Hahahaha!

Happy weekend friends!
