    Hello friends,


    I'm here again with my cards :D This is the card that I made using a simple hand drawing doodle. I used kraft paper for the card, a gel rolls white pen from Sakura, a white Posca marker, and an acrylic stamp for the sentiment. I gave a bit of color to the doodle using a pink Copic marker. 

    As for the heart shapes, I cut them from leftover cardstock and glued them to a small piece of paper which is folded before I attached it to the card thus giving a "pop-up" look. And That's it :)

    This is my entry for the following challenges:

    Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes #209

    We Love to Create - Anything Goes at WL2C #6 Mixed Media Challenge

    Polkadoodles - Week #22 Crafts and Card Making Challenge

    "Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it"

    ~ Buddha ~


    We wish you a fruitful and spiritually refreshing Vesak Day to those of you who celebrate it. We hope you had a great time with your family and friends.

    It was fun to draw this little monk sketch. I used Copic Marker, Pen Marker and Gel roll pens. For the little monk's outline I used 0.4 Black Pen Marker. I used Gell Roll pens for the sentiments and Lotus flowers. As for the rest of it I used Copic Marker. It's quite simple and does not take a long time to make. I'm sure you can draw this at home too on your spare time :)

    See you soon and Take Care!


    Love, 
    Ika

    Hey peeps :)

    I'm uploading another greeting card and this is more inspired by the photo from Inkspirational challenge.

    I'm using black paper card and buttons for embellishment. I arranged the buttons into a Cassiopeia constellation which symbolised the beauty of they sky (for me it means the beauty of the person who receives this card) :) 

    Then I added a simple hand written words "You are a Star" using a white gel pen. Lastly I created a simple background with only small dots to represents the stars and so the card will not look plain as well.

    It's very simple and quick card that you can make at home too.


    This is my entry for below challenges:

    #231 Photo Inspiration Challenge - Inkspirational challenge
    Create your own background - The Sisterhood of Crafters
    #36 Anything Goes - The Creative Crafters


    Thank you. Take Care and Stay Healthy! :)

    Hello.. I'm here again. Today I'm going to upload my handmade greeting card using simple style and 3 pcs of pistachio shells :)

    Yes I do keep some trashes :D I just feel like there's something I can do with them and then they will be seating in my cupboard for years waiting to be used :P hahahah..


    a closer look

    First, I sprayed the shells with white color sprayer then I just make simple doodles on it using permanent marker. I put a simple stamp "hello" in the middle and glued the shells using wood glue. That's it!

    Hi everyone,

    Hi everyone,

    Here's another doodle that I made with a lovely quote.
    "Home is where your heart is".

    I draw many leaf because it reminds me of my parent's house or I guess I just miss my mother hehe.. 
    She loves to plant all kinds of flowers and trees and always enjoy her spare time at our backyard taking care of her plants :)





    Enjoy your day friends and Thank you for stopping by here! :*

    Hello there..

    Today I'm posting my first doodle creation. I have been interested in doodling since I saw one of my friend's creations on her IG @rinirusli. Doodling is actually fun and it quite relaxing too. So for those of you who wants to learn how to draw, doodling can be a good option. There are some name style in doodling and you can find millions of inspirations on the net for doodle.

     Well, below is my creation, I don't know what style I'm in but I think I'll call it free style doodle :D 
    I write down my favorite quotes from the movie "The White Squall" years ago. 
    For doodling I used 0.2 pen and Staedler marker pens.


    closer look on the details



    My friend said that I have to frame this.. 
    maybe I will but I do think I still need to learn how to doodle :)

    Thanks for stopping by, take care and see you!

    Hello there!

    Hope you're doing great.. Today, I'm uploading one of my ATC card which I made to join the October Challenge of Mbak Dwita Fb and blog Crafter's Life in order to celebrate the World Card Making Day 2015.

    I actually found out about the "Friendship" few days before the due date. So, I rushed and created this simple ATC. I use kraft paper, hand draw the two girls image with drawing pen and use Prisma Color Pencil for the coloring (which I'm still learning to do it :P) and for last touch, I used word stamps from Stampendous for the words "my and Friend" and Kaiser Craft Christmas Sentiment for the "Love". Yep, I only have those stamps set and I always have to mix and match them :D

    Alhamdulillah, Thank you God! I'm glad that my creation is among the top 10 which is at no.7 (my lucky number actually :D:D). Guess what I got, whole bunch of great stuff!!!! From Mbak Dwita, a kit for November challenge and also I got a beautiful handmade bag created by herself and a Magnolia stamp!! I am so excited!! Coz believe it or not, this is my first ever and the one and only Magnolia stamp that I ever have in my life!!!! :D :D  And that the bag I use it to keep my make-up tools, yeaahh I usually don't use make-up bag, but now I have one that is so lovely!!! Also I got stuff such as lovely sequins from Mbak Hanny, flower punch from Mbak Judith and other lovely stuff an ATC card from Mbak Nova!

    I am so excited and thank you so much for lovely people who voted for me.. GBU! :) And most of all, thank so much for Mbak Dwita for your generosity, hard work and effort for making these challenge possible! and thank you for the sponsors.. you all really made my day! :)

    Thanks to you friends for reading this! 
    Love you all and see you soon! *kiss and hug* :)

    Hello friends!

    I hope you are all doing great and had a lovely new year's eve too :)
    We have left 2014 almost 20 days ago but I can still feel the new year atmosphere until today! 
    Myself, I spent new year's eve with my little family, just sitting on our porch and watching fireworks dancing on the dark and rainy sky.. after that, we all just went to bed hehe..

    New year means new opportunity to finish up all plans from the previous years (yes, most of them have been left behind by... myself :P). Plans have been made, goals have been set, it is time for me to test the speed and stomp the gas :) But I'm sure you also have those plans written on your head, book, wall everywhere! And I also believe that you are all busy checking your to-do daily list and focusing on your goals. Anyway, whatever you are doing right now, I wish you best of success and I hope that your dreams and mine will come true this year :)

    Enjoy your day!

    Yes, I have been taking a drawing class for the past few weeks. My teacher, Mr Jeffri, is a professional artist specialty in oil painting. But he does all fine arts! His paintings are world class and so am very proud to be his student :)

    I have been learning pencil drawing with him and the object is my baby daughter. To be honest, this is the real pencil drawing I have ever made in my life. I learned about shadowing, blending and outlining. My outlining is really worse and I must keep on learning and practicing.

    Here's the result:






    So what do you think about my drawing? :)

    Cheers,
    Ika

    Hello! How's everyone doing? Great I hope! :)

    Myself has been having unpleasant moments for the past few weeks. Well, in life there are the up and down moments and so I had that down moment unfortunately :P But hey, why complain, I'm still sitting here in front of my laptop, able to work, able to write whatever I want.. and that's something I should be grateful right? So I'm just trying to enjoy every good moments that I have while I still can :)

    I haven't touched my sketch book for long time. Today, I just want to share a very rough sketch which I made yesterday :) I have to say I really need to learn more.. I drew this sketch from a photo I took few months ago.. I almost forgot that I have this one so then I decided to draw it on a paper.. I actually wanted to transfer it into a digital picture but hmm, I don't know if I have time to do it soon, so maybe later I will. For now, I'm just enjoying the result of my hand drawing.. although I know I still have to learn a lot! :)

    I created the sentiment, it's just seems so simple yet meaningful (at least for me :P).
    This is all for now, I write more later.. Now I'm off for dinner and then continue following up orders at my crafts boutique! :)

    Take care!!!

    Hi Everyone!

    Just a quick post tonight :) I was too excited receiving stuff that I scratched my thumb with my beloved cutter. I have been sooo sleepy throughout the day and couldn't wait to open the packages (as they are so meaningful to me reminding that this is my first time having them all after saving some Rupiahs hehe :P) 
    So when I got home, first thing I did was taking my cutter and starting to open the envelope one by one. Well, I got too excited that I accidentally held my cutter in a wrong position and it successfully scratched my lovely thumb on a vertical line and it fits enough for Aurora to stand there :P

    Anyway, thanks to Crafty Crafts, Susan Quilling, Luna Larissa Shop and Dona Shop (Kristika)! 
    I have received your products completely and in perfect condition :)
    Thank you for your great service!

    Hellloooo.. how ya doin’? :) I’m back again frennzzz.. ppfffhhh, it has been full days of works at the office recently! But anyway, let's forget about work for a while :) I'm here and I'm so excited to introduce you the sketches of my fresh, new and first digi stamp.. 
    made by myself and I call this little girl character as “Little Aurora” :)

    The inspiration was from all of my crafter friends who have been discussing about digi stamp. It gives me a challenge to create my own digital stamps. So based on my “self-taught “ drawing course :P I began to draw Little Aurora in few poses. I made them at midnight time, I hadn’t know how I ended up drawing these images  :P All I knew that I just kept drawing and drawing until I got tired hehe.. They may not seem so perfect but I’m very satisfied with the result of these sketches.. It is so meaningful because it gives me spirit to keep on practice my basic drawing skill :P

    Anyway, once I have finished converting these sketches into digital stamp, I will upload them here and then you might get one of them you know! 
     Just wait, ok! :) 


    Thank you for visiting!!

    Thank you for looking frenz! :)

    I'll take you to go back to thirteen years ago :P this is my drawing when i was on my last year of high school. Gosh, it was really long time ago!!! :) I like drawing when i was a little girl.. i created my own 'love story' comic book.. i spent hours just to draw a scenery.. i drew models from the magazines on my sketch book.. basically i loved the drawing process and i didnt care about the result :P But unfortunately there was time when i had to stop drawing at all. 

    So then when i was in high school, my teacher gave a task to make a poster :P first, i had self doubt that i would ruined it reminding that i had not draw for years.. But my sister convinced me that i still can do it and that i just need to practice more.. so i grabbed the national geographic magazine and drew this eagle image form one of their articles. Well, the result wasn't perfect though but i kinda satisfied with it :) and at least i got the highest score!! :D 

    I still keep it until now but not that i like my own drawing but it's mostly because it was a moment when i started to draw again.. and it felt really great!!! :)

    Thank you for looking and reading this! :) really appreciated!
