PBSC May - Toukokuu

We are mid-way through our May challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes/Inspired by a Song'.

I went with Anything Goes option this time and colored this sweet bunny by Penny Black called Flying By with Zig markers and I used the matching die to cut it out. For the background, I used a strip of patterned paper and some sequins to embellish it. The sentiment wishes 'Joyous birthday'.

Please do join us this month at Penny Black Saturday Challenge, you'll find all the details on how to do that on the blog as well as gorgeous inspiration provided by my lovely talented team mates. Oh, and remember, we do have a prize for the winner... ;)

The Flower Challenge #44: Reminder - Muistutus

We're mid-way through our May challenge at The Flower Challenge and our theme is 'Monochrome'. Our wonderful Guest Designer is Nonni.

I went for yellows for my reminder card. The stamp I used is 'Together' by Penny Black. Using yellow Distress Markers, I coloured straight to the stamp and stamped onto watercolour cardstock several times using a Misti. I sponged some yellow Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the panel, stamped my sentiment (it says 'Sunshine to your day') and matted the panel onto some dark brown cardstock before adhering it to yellow card base.

Toukokuu on puolessa välissä samoin kuin haaste The Flower Challengessä. Aihe on 'Monochrome' ja Guest Designerina meillä on taitava Nonni.

Käytin korttiini Penny Blackin leimaa Together. Väritin Distress Markereilla suoraan leimaan ja leimasin kuvan useampaan kertaan Mistillä. Reunoja mustetin Distress Oxide -musteella, leimasin tekstileiman ja kerrostin ruskealle kartongille ennen kuin kiinnitin paneelin korttipohjaan.

Spring flowers - Kevään kukkia

I made a card with this sweet Bundle Girl stamp, it's called Bundle Girl with a Wood Anemone by Stamping Bella. I coloured the image with my Copics, sponged a bit of blue ink in the background and stamped the sentiment (it says 'This is your day'). I die cut the panel with an MFT die, matted it onto some cardstock and placed some patterned paper in the background. I die cut the pink 'belt' with a Penny Black die called Burlap Edge. Lastly, I embellished the card with clear sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC270 - Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist
* Stamping Sensations: May - Say It with Flowers

Tämä suloinen leima on Stamping Bellan Bundle Girl with a Wood Anemone, väritin sen Copiceilla ja mustetin taustalle hieman sinistä. Tekstin leimaamisen jälkeen stanssasin paneelin irti ja kerrostin kartongille. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia ja vyötteen, jonka stanssasin Penny Blackin Burlap Edge -stanssilla. Koristeluun jokunen kirkas paljetti.

The Flower Challenge: May - Toukokuu

New month - new challenge at The Flower Challenge. Our theme for May is 'Monochrome' and as our Guest Designer we have the very talented Nonni.

I went for greys in my monochrome card and as much as the photo looks black and white, I can assure you it is actually a colour photo! :D Anyways, I used Penny Black stamps for my card, the watering can is from Country Charisma set and the flowers are from Exquisite Envelope set. I coloured them with my Copics and die cut them with the matching dies. I used dark grey card base and I die cut a rectangle frame out of the same grey cardstock. The sentiment is die cut with a Simply Graphic die.

Now please visit The Flower Challenge blog for all the details on how to enter and to see the gorgeous inspiration cards made by my lovely team mates and our Guest Designer.



Toukokuu ja uusi haaste alkaa The Flower Challengessä. Aiheena on 'Monochrome' ja Guest Designerina meillä on Nonni.

Käytin kortissani harmaan sävyjä ja vaikka kuva näyttää mustavalkoiselta, se on ihan oikeasti värikuva! Leimakuvat ovat Penny Blackiä, kannu on Country Charisma -setistä ja kukat Exquisite Envelope -setistä, väritin ne Copiceilla. Harmaaseen korttipohjaan stanssasin kehyksen samasta harmaasta kartongista, tekstin stanssasin valkoisesta kartongista Simply Graphicin stanssilla.

AAA Birthday #13: May - Toukokuu

We have a new challenge starting at AAA Birthday and our theme for May is 'Things with Wings'. Our Guest Designer is the fabulously talented Enna. 

My 'thing with wings' is Blanche from Stamping Bella. I've coloured her with my Copics, added a bit of sparkle to her wings and white gel pens here and there before die cutting her with the matching die. For the background, I used some patterned paper and the beautiful leaf border die cut with Layered Leaves die by Penny Black. The sentiment says 'Congratulating you'.

Please be sure to pop by AAA Birthday to see all the gorgeous cards created by my team mates and our Guest Designer and please do join us this month!

AAA Birthdayssä alkaa uusi haaste ja aiheena on 'Things with Wings'. Guest Designerina meillä on Enna.

Oma siivekkääni on Stamping Bellan Blanche, jonka väritin Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Siipiin lisäsin vähän kimalletta ja valkoista geelikynää sinne tänne. Taustalle käytin kuviopaperia ja lehtiboordia, jonka stanssasin Penny Blackin Layered Leaves -stanssilla. Tekstileiman leimasin suoraan kuviopaperiin.

PBSC May - Toukokuu

We have a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge and the theme for May is 'Anything Goes'/'Inspired by a Song'. Our sponsor 1-2-3 Stitch! is giving the winner a $20 voucher for the shop.

I was inspired by one of my favourite songs, Unforgettable by Nat King Cole, and I used a stamp by Penny Black called 'Unforgettable'. I coloured the stamped image with my Copics and die cut the center with Antique Frames die. I sponged some Distress Oxide ink to the edges, stamped my sentiment (it says 'Congratulating You') and adhered some craft foam on the back of the center panel before adhering everything in place. This way the center panel is raised  from the card base.

Penny Black Saturday Challengessä alkaa uusi haaste ja aiheena on 'Anything Goes'/'Inspired by a Song'. Voittajalle on luvassa $20 lahjakortti 1-2-3 Stitch! -nettikauppaan. 

Oma inspiraatiokappaleeni on Nat King Colen ihana Unforgettable ja käytinkin tähän korttiin Penny Blackin leimaa nimeltään Unforgettable, jonka väritin Copiceilla. Keskiosan stanssasin Antique Frames -stanssilla ja mustetin reunoja Distress Oxide -musteilla. Tekstileiman leimauksen jälkeen kiinnitin keskiosan taakse softista, jolla sain sen koholle korttipohjasta.
