Sieni - Toadstool

Tähän korttiin pääsi Purple Onion Designsin suloinen sieni. Väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin koko paneelin Penny Blackin Stitched Stackers -setin stanssilla. Tekstin stanssasin Simply Graphicin stanssilla. Lisäksi vain vähän nyöriä ja kuviopaperia.

Made a card with this 'Toadstool' stamp by Purple Onion Designs. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and die cut the panel with Penny Black's 'Stitched Stackers' die, and then sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges. The sentiment is die cut with a Simply Graphic die. Then I simply added a bit of patterned paper and some twine.

Penny Black: Kissankellot - Bluebells

(Please scroll down for English)

Kesäisiä kissankelloja! Kissankelloissa on kaunista herkkyyttä, jota yritin saada tähänkin korttiin näkyviin. Embossasin valkoisella kissankello-leiman Penny Blackin setistä Happy Together  ja väritin sen Zigeillä. Tekstileima on Snippets-setistä, leimasin sen harmaalla Archival Inkillä. Koko paneelin stanssasin Stitched Stackers -setin stanssilla ja kiinnitin tummansiniseen korttipohjaan.

I love bluebells! I love how delicate and dainty they look, and that is something I tried to capture in this card. I heat embossed the bluebells from the Penny Black set 'Happy Together' with white embossing powder and coloured the image with my Zig markers. After die cutting the panel with a die from the 'Stitched Stackers' set, I stamped the sentiment from the 'Snippets' set with grey Archival Ink. Lastly, I adhered the panel to dark blue cardbase.

Mansikoita - Strawberries

Mansikka-aika parhaimmillaan, nyt niitä löytyy jo korteistakin! :D Nämä ihanat mansikat ovat Clearly Besottedin Sweet Berries -setistä, väritin ne Polychromoksilla. Taustan kehys on stanssattu My Favorite Thingsin stanssilla ja tekstileima on FinnStamperia. Taustalle raitapaperia ja koristeeksi muutama enamel dotsi.

I love strawberries so I had to get this gorgeous strawberry stamp by Clearly Besotted. Isn't it sweet? It's from the 'Sweet Berries' stamp set and I coloured it with my Polychromos pencils. I stamped my sentiment ('Congrats') on a strip of grey cardstock and die cut the frame with a My Favorite Things die. A bit of stripey paper for the background and some enamel dots to embellish the card. Sweet and simple! :)

Penny Black: Synttärikortti kukilla - Floral birthday card

(Please scroll down for English)

Tänään on minun vuoroni Penny Blackin SIMPLICITY At Its Best -blogissa. Alla pieni kurkkaus siihen, mitä on luvassa, mutta käväise ihmeessä SIMPLICITY At Its Bestissä, josta löydät koko kortin ohjeineen.

Today it's my turn at Penny Black's SIMPLICITY At Its Best blog. Below you'll find a sneak peek of what's to come but please visit SIMPLICITY At Its Best for full reveal and instructions. Thanks! :)

Lumiukko ja pingviini - Snowman and penguin

Joulukorttikausi avattu! :) Tämä joulukortti syntyi Create a Smilen tuotteilla, lumiukko ja pingviini ovat Cool Buddies -setistä. Väritin ne Copiceilla ja leikkasin irti. Tekstileima on samasta setistä. Taustan tein maskaamalla ensin kortin taivasosion ja mustettamalla lumikinoksen, minkä jälkeen maskasin lumikinoksen ja tein taivaan levittämällä mustetta Nautical Stars -sapluunan läpi. Sitten vain kiinnitin kaverukset paikoilleen ja lisäsin pienen Lawn Fawnin stanssilla stanssatun sydämen.

I've made a start at making Christmas cards for this year and first up there's this one made with Create a Smile goodies. The adorable snowman and his friend the penguin come from 'Cool Buddies' stamp set as does the sentiment. I coloured the snowman and the penguin with my Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I made the background by first masking off the sky and sponging some Distress ink to create the snow bank. I then masked the snow bank and made the sky by sponging the same Distress ink through 'Nautical Stars' stencil. After the background was ready, I attached the buddies to their places, stamped the sentiment and added one little heart (die cut with a Lawn Fawn die).

Orvokit - Pansies

Nämä orvokit ovat Clearly Besottedin Pretty Pansies -setistä, väritin ne Polychromoksilla. Tekstileima on myös Clearly Besottedia, mutta Sending Sunshine -setistä. Taustalle hieman Lawn Fawnin kuviopaperia ja kartonkia ja koristeeksi jokunen paljetti.

These sweet pansies come from the 'Pretty Pansies' set by Clearly Besotted, I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils. The sentiment is also by Clearly Besotted but from the 'Sending Sunshine' set. I used a bit of Lawn Fawn patterned paper and some cardstock for the background, and added a few sequins.
