commissioned work

Have not been blogging for sometime.
anyway today i have something to share with everyone.
It is another cute frames that I had made for a commissioned work.

The customer requested to have the 'little girls' in the frame,
As such, I just started taking some papers and made this.
No title for the frame but love the banner, butterflies, the punch and the colours.
Especially the clouds with the blue distress, it just looks look a bright and sunny days.
don't you think so?







This is a close up of the frame, the 'dear lizzy' bicycle look perfectly well in that corner of the frame. with the little mushroom surrounding it.

This is the second frme with the little cute girls.

the little animals.

well here it is, looks like a little cozy little house with lots of cuteness in it.

Hope you enjoy viewing it!

CHA challenge at the Studio Calico

On the first day of the Lunar New Year I did my first Layout.
It was a Studio Calico design team members challenge.

One of the challenges states that I need to use quote as journal.
Another mentioned to create a similar style as one of the designers.
so here is my takes.

Using Elsie's rubon. I had been hoarding this for years and finally I get
a chance to use it. Luckily I still can rub on it. Many friends told me that
if I do not use your rub on for a few years it is considered spoilt.

This is the layout that I made lifting Laura's style. Big pictures and little
embellishment. I printed the picutures at home using glossy paper but
somehow the result doesn't look good.

The second layout challenge requires a self portrait pic.
So I stamped, I rubon, I cut and I paste.


I also punched, I misted....

And this is how it turned out. I was satisfield with how it looked.

The blue mist was by accident. I wanted to placed a few big drops on the LO

but I pressed too much and becomes a big blue patch. pretty huh?

Glad I took up this challenges as it is my first time to challenge myself using minimal pattern papers but techniques.
