Jo toinen kortti tälle päivälle ja vaihteeksi taas kukkakortti! :) Leimakuvana tässä on Stampendousin Timeless Rose, jonka väritin Polychromoksilla. Leimakuva on sen verran suuri, ettei korttiin paljoa muuta mahtunutkaan, vain tekstileima ja vähän blingiä, taustalle kartonkia ja Lili of the Valley'n paperia.
Well, I'm on a roll - it's my second post for today! :) For this card I used 'Timeless Rose' by Stampendous and coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. The stamped image is quite large so I didn't add much else to the card, just the sentiment and some bling in the form of rhinestones. The patterned paper in the background is by Lili of the Valley.

Dinosaurus - Dinosaur
Toinen synttärikortti esikoiselle. Jostain syystä kaikki pojat tuntuvat pitävän dinosauruksista, niin meidänkin 8-vuotias, joten toiseksi kortiksi tuli tällainen dino-aiheinen. Siitä ei tullut ihan sellaista kuin mielessäni ajattelin, mutta saaja tykkäsi, joten kaikki on hyvin :) Dinosaurus on Stampendousin Dino Time -setistä, väritin kuvan Polychromoksilla. Sitten vain stanssailin neliöitä papereista, lisäsin tekstileiman ja numeron. Muutama vesiväriroiske perään ja kortti oli valmis.
Another card for my eldest son. For some reason all boys seem to like dinosaurs and he is no exception so I chose to make a card with a dinosaur. It didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned it but he liked it so I'm happy :) The dinosaur is from the 'Dino Time' set by Stampendous, I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. Then I simply die cut the panel and some patterned papers, added my sentiment and the die cut number. Lastly (yes, lastly as it was an afterthought... ;D ) I added a few tiny splatters of watercolour to the panel.
Kiitos, kun käväisit! :)

Kahdeksan - Eight
Taas on aika tehdä esikoiselle synttärikortteja. Tähän käytin Lili of the Valleyn Computer Fun -leimaa, väritin kuvan Zigeillä ja stanssasin paneelin irti MFT:n stanssilla. Mustetin paneelin yläosan vihreällä Distress Oxidella, vaikka kuvassa se näyttää paljon keltaisemmalta kuin oikeasti. Banneri on myös MFT:n stanssilla stanssattu, numero taas Memory Boxin stanssilla. Sitten vain taustalle raitapaperia ja nyöri rusetille.
My eldest son is going to have his 8th birthday soon, so it's time to make some birthday cards :) I made this using 'Computer Fun' stamp by Lili of the Valley, I coloured the image with my Zig markers, die cut the panel with an MFT die and sponged some 'Twisted Citron' Distress Oxide to the top half of it (it looks more yellow in the photo than IRL for some reason). The fishtail banner is also a die by MFT and the number by Memory Box. For the background I simply added a bit of stripy paper, and then tied a bow to the banner.

Kevään kukkasia - Spring flowers
Poikakorttien jälkeen palataan taas kukkakortteihin :) Väritin tämän Penny Blackin Softly-leiman Polychromoksilla ja stanssasin irti Antique Frame -stanssilla. Tein leimakuvalle "kehyksen" stanssaamalla paneelin vielä kokoa pienemmällä stanssilla, kehykset kiinnitin suoraan pohjaan ja keskiosan laitoin koholle tarrapaloilla. Sitä ennen leimasin Dekoretten tekstileiman. Taustalla on Lawn Fawnin paperia ja koristeina muutama paljetti.
After a couple of boy cards, I'm back to floral cards :) For this card, I used 'Softly' stamp by Penny Black, and I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. I die cut the panel with 'Antique Frame' die and decided to create a frame by cutting the image again, this time with a smaller die from the same set. I stamped my sentiment ('Happy Birthday' in Finnish), used Lawn Fawn patterned paper for the background, attached my frame flat to the card base and the middle part of the image I raised with some foam adhesives. Lastly I added a few sequins.
Haasteet/Challenges:
* TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #107 - Spring (optional twist: one layer card - no twisting here)
* Penny Black Saturday Challenge: April - Anything goes (optional twist: Spring Flowers)
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #287 - Make Your Mark

Tähtiä, tähtiä - Stars, stars
Toinen synttärikortti veljenpojalle, taas tähtiä :) Tähän käytin My Favorite Thingsin Stitched Star Grid -stanssia, jolla stanssasin taustan ommelviivat ja tähdet. Alle leimasin tekstileiman. Tästä tuli melkoisen CAS, mutta toivon, että se ja tummat värit uppoavat teinipoikiin ;)
I made another birthday card for my soon-to-be 17-year-old nephew, again with stars. I used 'Stitched Star Grid' die by My Favorite Things to make it and some black and dark grey cardstock. I die cut the panel with a stitched edge die by MFT and stamped my sentiment ('Congratulations' in Finnish) under the stars. This is probably as CAS as I get but I'm hoping it'll be what a teenage boy likes... ;)
Haaste/Challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Mythology/Inspired by a Story (I chose Pinocchio - remember the song "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are...")

Tähdet - Stars
Vanhin veljenpojistani täyttää pian 17, joten "poikakortille" on taas tarvetta. Mielestäni tähdet toimivat aina pojilla, joten niillä mennään nytkin :) Nämä tähtistanssit ovat My Favorite Thingsin Stars Above -leimoihin kuuluvat stanssit, en ole niitä koskaan irrottanut toisistaan ja sainkin nyt idean, että niitä voisi käyttää taustana. Stanssasin siis taustapaneelin, irrotin tähdet, mustetin ne Distress Oxideilla ja osaan roiskin vähän vettä. Sitten vain paneeli korttipohjaan, tähdet paikalleen ja tekstileima MFT:n stanssilla stanssattuun banneriin. Bannerin taustalle stanssasin vielä tuollaiset ympyrät ja koristeiksi vähän narua ja enamel dotseja.
My eldest nephew will soon be 17, so I needed a birthday card for him. I think stars work for boy cards, so decided to use them. These stars go together with the 'Stars Above' stamp set by My Favorite Things, I've never took them apart from each other so I got the idea of using them for the background. I die cut my white panel with the stars, took the stars out and sponged them with Distress Oxide inks. I even splattered a bit of water on some of them for extra texture. Then I simply adhered my panel to my card base, adhered the stars in place and stamped my sentiment on a strip die cut with an MFT die (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish). I die cut the messy circles and placed them behind the sentiment strip and added a bit of twine and some enamel dots.

Ruusu - Rose
Innostuin eilen värittelemään yömyöhään ja väritin Polychromoksilla tämän Simon Says Stampin ruusun ja lehdet. Sain niistä tänään sitten tehtyä tämän synttärikortin ja pitkästä aikaa vieläpä ympyräkortin. Ympyrät stanssailin Heron stansseilla, paperit ovat Lili of the Valley'n, tekstileima Dekoretten. Ruusun kiinnitin tarrapaloilla koholle ja koristeeksi laitoin jokusen paljetin.
I got a bit carried away colouring with my Polychromos pencils last night and coloured well into the night (I shouldn't have, I know - and feel! - that now.. ;D ). I ended up colouring this rose and leaves from Simon Says Stamp, the rose is from the set 'More Spring Flowers' and the leaves are from 'Spring Flowers'. I had a bit of time today so I made a card with them, a circle card at that, haven't done those in a while. I did all the circle die cutting with Hero Arts dies, the patterned papers are by Lili of the Valley. I stamped my sentiment ('Congrats' in Finnish) and added a few sequins as embellishments. I attached the rose with foam adhesives for a bit of extra interest.

Kimput kukkasista - Blossom Bunch
Pari simppeliä korttia samalla leimalla mutta eri väreillä ja väritystekniikalla. Leimakuva tässä on Stampendousin suloinen Blossom Bunch, jonka väritin ensimmäiseen kuvaan Copiceilla. Taustalle hieman mustetta, paneelin stanssaus Penny Blackin Antique Frame -stanssilla ja korttipohjaan kiinni. Teksti on stanssattu Simply Graphicin stanssilla. Keltaiset kukkaset väritin Polychromoksilla. Niillä en ole värittänyt aikoihin, mutta nyt hankin itselleni todella hyvän teroittimen, jolla saa kunnon terävän terän kyniin, joten saattaapa olla, että Polychromoksilla värittäminen taas innostaa enemmän ;) Muuten kortti on samoin tehty kuin ensimmäinenkin, korttipohjaan vain leimasin vielä My Favorite Thingsin Typewriter Text Background -leimalla.
I made a couple of very simple cards but in different colours and using different medium of colouring. The stamped image is 'Blossom Bunch' by Stampendous, love those happy flowers! For the first card, I coloured the image with my Copic Markers and sponged blue ink in the background. I die cut the panel with 'Antique Frame' die by Penny Black and adhered to card base. I die cut the sentiment with a Simply Graphic die. The yellow card is similar but I coloured the image with my Polychromos coloured pencils. I love colouring with them but haven't done that in ages. I just recently bought myself an amazing sharpener that really sharpens the pencils to a good fine point, so I think from now on I may just use the pencils more ;) For the yellow card, I stamped the card base with 'Typewriter Text Background' stamp by My Favorite Things.

Kukkaputous - Flower cascade
Synttärikorttia Penny Blackin leimalla, tämän nimi on Flower Cascade ja väritin se taas Zigeillä. Stanssasin paneelin PB:n Antique Frame -setin stanssilla ja taustan paperiin leimasin niin ikään PB:n Indian Wheel -leimalla. Tekstileima on Dekoretten ja koristeiksi jokunen paljetti.
Another birthday card I made for my stash. The stamp I used is 'Flower Cascade' by Penny Black, I coloured it with my Zig Markers (again! They will probably grow into my hands at the rate I'm using them.. :D ). I die cut the panel with 'Antique Frame' die by Penny Black, stamped my sentiment ('Warm Congratulations' in Finnish) and added some sequins. For the background, I stamped 'Indian Wheel' by Penny Black onto some coloured paper with Simon Says Stamp ink.

Kaikkea hyvää - All the best
Tästä tuli melkoisen trooppisen värinen kortti! :D Alan olla jo niin kyllästynyt tuohon ulkona vallitsevaan valkoisuuteen, että tarvitsen väriä ja kukkia jossain ;) Nämä trooppisen kokonaisuuden kukkaset ovat Simon Says Stampin setistä More Spring Flowers, väritin ne taas Zigeillä ja stanssasin irti. Taustan paneelin mustetin Distress Oxideilla ja kehykset stanssasin taas MFT:n stanssilla. Taustapaperi on Lawn Fawnin, stanssattu niin ikään MFT:n stanssilla.
This turned out to be quite a tropical card! :D I'm getting so sick and tired of this winter that doesn't seem to end (there's still about 40-50 centimetres of snow outside...), and when everything is white outside, I need colour and flowers in my cards at least ;) The flowers in this tropical card are stamped and die cut with the set 'More Spring Flowers' (yes, please! ;) ) by Simon Says Stamp and coloured with my Zig markers. I sponged Distress Oxide inks on the little panel and made a frame for it. The background paper is by Lawn Fawn. Oh, and the sentiment says 'All the Best' in Finnish.

Kihlaparille - On your engagement
Tein kihlakortin varastoon Penny Blackin A Rose -leimalla. Väritin leimakuvan taas Zigeillä ja stanssasin paneelin irti. Kehykset stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla, Dekoretten tekstileiman leimasin vellumbannerille ja koristeeksi laitoin Lawn Fawnin stanssilla stanssatun sydämen. Taustapaperi on Lili of the Valley'n.
I made an engagement card for my stash using the Penny Black stamp 'A Rose'. I coloured the image with my Zig Markers, die cut it with Hero Arts die and added a frame to it (an MFT die). I stamped my sentiment ('To the engaged couple' in Finnish) on a vellum banner and added a single heart (a Lawn Fawn die) as embellishment. The patterned paper is by Lili of the Valley.
