Toinen postaus tälle päivälle (kelaile alaspäin nähdäksesi ensimmäisen) ja näytille vihoviimeinen Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssille tehty kortti. Kortti on tehty 11. päivänä olleen Tim Holtzin tutoriaalin mukaan. Vesiväreinä Distress Inkit ja lisänä vähän stanssattua tekstiä ja muutama musta Enamel Accents -tippa.
This is my second post for today (scroll down for the first one, please). I've got my very last card made for the Watercolor for Cardmakers class to show you, I made it following the tutorial by Tim Holtz on Day 11. As my watercolours, I used Distress Inks. The sentiment (die cut with a Tim Holtz alphabet die) says 'Congrats' in Finnish. The black dots are made with some Enamel Accents.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Aurinkoista viikonlopun odotusta! :)
Thanks for your visit today, I'd be happy if you left me a comment ;) Have a fab day! :)

Vesiväritetyt kukat - Watercoloured flowers
Vielä viimeisiä vesivärikortteja näytille ennen kurssin loppumista... Watercolor for Cardmakersin 11. päivä oli ns. play day ja silloin sai vapaasti tehdä, mitä haluaa, vesiväreillä ja minä (olin vähän tylsä ja) tein ihan perusvesiväritystä. Leimakuva on Penny Blackin ja väritin sen Twinkling H2O -vesiväreillä. Sitten vain hieman kerrostusta, tekstileimaa ja korttipohjaan kiinnitys. Siinäpä se.
I've got a couple more watercolour cards to show you, I'm posting them now just before the class ends. Day 11 of the Watercolor for Cardmakers class was a play day and apart from tutorials we got to do whatever we wanted with watercolours. I chose to (be a bit boring and) do some basic watercolouring of a stamped image. I chose this pretty Penny Black stamp and coloured it with Twinkling H2O watercolours. The sentiment says 'Congrats' in Finnish.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit.

Ilmapalloja - Balloons
Ja taas yritän feikata! Eli Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssin päivä 7 ja feikkivesivärimaalaus. Ohjeena tässä oli Debby Hughesin tutoriaali. Minulla ei ole ilmapalloleimaa, joten käytin tässä aakkosleimojen O-kirjaimia (isoa ja pientä) - mielestäni ne toimivat hyvin tähän tarkoitukseen! :) Pallojen vesiväritys on H2O-vesiväreillä ja taivas taustalla on nestemäisellä vesivärillä (Ecoline). Lisänä tekstileimaa (FinnStamper), washiteippiä ja vähän stanssausta. Hieman harmittaa, että nuo pallot jäivät aavistuksen liian alas, niiden yläpuolella on mielestäni liikaa ilmaa mutta ei auta, tällä mennään.
It's more faking from me! That is, on Day 7 at Watercolor for Cardmakers the theme was Faux Hand-Painting and for this card, I followed the tutorial by the amazing Debby Hughes. I don't have any balloon stamps so I used the letter O (uppercase and lowercase) from an alphabet stamp set, and I think they worked well for this. I watercoloured the balloons with Twinkling H2O's and the sky behind them with liquid watercolour (Ecoline). Then I just stamped my sentiment, added some washi tape and die cut my circle and number. Looking at the card now, I think I should have placed the balloons a bit higher up, there's too much 'air' above them but it can't be helped now, so this will have to do now.

Feikkausta - Faking It
Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssin 8. päivän (joka meni jo hetki sitten...) aiheena oli feikkivesivärimaalaaminen. Tein tämän kortin Tasnim Ahmedin tutoriaalin mukaan mutta täytyy sanoa, etten päässyt lähellekään mallikortin tasoa! Kortti tuli kuitenkin tehtyä mutta ehkä minun pitää vielä hieman harjoitella, ehkä... ihan vain vähän... ;D Kukka on Hero Artsin Engraved Flower ja vesiväritys on tehty Distress Inkeillä.
The theme for the 8th day (which was during last week...) of Watercolor for Cardmakers class was 'Faux Hand-Painting'. I followed Tasnim Ahmed's tutorial to make this card and I have to say that I got nowhere near the beauty of the original card! It was stunning! And this... well, isn't. I guess I just need to practice. A bit. Just a tiny wee bit. Hah! Anyways, the stamp I used is 'Engraved Flower' by Hero Arts and I used Distress Inks for watercolouring.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Mukavaa tiistaita! :)

Pelastusyritys - Attemp to save a card
Tämänpäiväinen vesivärikortti pohjaa Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssin 5. päivään ja siellä Shari Carrollin tutoriaaliin. Leimakuvana tässä on valkoisella embossattu Hero Artsin Looped Flower Pattern ja se on väritetty Distress Markereilla. Tekstileima on FinnStamperin ja lisänä hieman vellumia, narua ja yksi yksinäinen paljetti. Ihmetteletkö muuten tuota vellumia tuossa tekstileiman päällä? Se on rehellisesti sanottuna yritys pelastaa tämä kortti! :D Leimasin tuon tekstileiman Hero Artsin Cup O' Joe -musteella, kun ajattelin, että se ei olisi ihan niin voimakas kuin musta muste - no ei ollut, mutta oli silti aivan liian tumma tähän korttiin. En tiennyt, mitä olisin leimatulle tekstille tehnyt, poiskaan sitä ei saanut, joten hätäpäissäni laitoin siihen vellumbannerin (loistavaa suomea... ;) ) päälle pehmentämään. En ole ollenkaan varma, toimiiko se mutta siinä se nyt on, pehmentämässä :)
I made today's card once again for the Watercolor for Cardmakers class. I was inspired by Day 5 of the class and Shari Carroll's tutorial. The background stamp I used is 'Looped Flower Pattern' by Hero Arts and it is heat embossed in white and coloured with Distress Markers. The sentiment says 'Congrats' and as other elements there's some vellum, a bit of twine and one single sequin. Do you wonder at all why I placed the vellum banner over the sentiment instead of stamping the sentiment on the banner? Well, let me be honest: it's an attempt to save this card! :D I stamped my sentiment with Hero Arts ink 'Cup O' Joe' thinking it would not be as bold as black ink - well, it wasn't but it was still way too dark for the card and looked a bit odd. I didn't know what to do to save the card (I liked it otherwise so I didn't want to throw it away) so after some panicky pondering I decided to place some vellum on top of it, like a banner, to soften the appearance of the sentiment. I'm not sure it works though or if it just looks strange but there it is now... :)
Kiitos, kun kävit ja kiitos, jos jaksat kommentoida. Kivaa keskiviikkoa! :)

Kukkia - Flowers
Joko alkaa kyllästyttää vesivärikortit? Toivottavasti ei, sillä näitähän riittää... ;D Tämän kortin tein Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssille Jennifer McGuiren 6.päivän tutoriaalin pohjalta. Leimakuva tässä on Papertrey Inkin Morning Glories, väritys Distress Markereilla. Onnea-leima on osa FinnStamperin tekstileimaa (kokonaisuudessaan siinä lukee Paljon Onnea, mutta leimasin vain tuon lopun siitä), lisänä vähän stanssausta, puolihelmiä ja kartonkia.
Are you bored already with my watercolour cards? Hope not as there are plenty more of these still coming... ;D I made this card for the Watercolor for Cardmakers class using Jennifer McGuire's tutorial on Day 6 for help. I used the 'Morning Glories' stamp by Papertrey Ink as well as a sentiment stamp (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish) on this, the image is coloured with Distress Markers. I did some die cutting for this and used sticky back pearls as embellishments.
Tässä vähän (surkean valokuvaajan ottamaa ;) ) lähikuvaa, väritetty leimakuva kimaltaa oikeasti hieman - näkyneekö se kuvasta?
Here's a close up on the watercoloured image (I'm not good at taking piccies so it's not the best close up though), the watercolouring shimmers a bit in real life - can you see it in the piccie?
Haaste/Challenge:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Spring Flowers

Vesivärejä ja innostusta - Watercolours with excitement
Alkuviikosta alkoi Watercolor for Cardmakers -kurssi ja olen aivan innoissani siitä! :) Hyviä vinkkejä, tekniikoita ja aivan mielettömän upeita kortteja koko kurssi pullollaan. Olen jokusen kortin ehtinyt nyt kurssin tekniikoilla tehdä ja tässä niistä ensimmäinen. Tein kortin Jennifer Rzasan tekniikalla ja käytin siinä Ecolineja (nestemäisiä vesivärejä). Stanssatut kuvat ovat Memory Boxin (lintu) ja Penny Blackin (oksa) stansseilla. Lisänä vähän tekstileimaa ja paljetteja.
There's a new Online Card Classes class called 'Watercolor for Cardmakers' going on which I'm taking and I'm so excited about it! :) Such a fab class full of great techniques, tips and tricks and of course, gorgeous cards. I've had some time to make some cards for the class and this is the first one. I made it following Jennifer Rzasa's instructions and used some Ecoline liquid watercolours as my watercolours of choice. The die cut images are cut with a Memory Box die (the bird) and a Penny Black die (the branch). The sentiment says 'Happy birthday' in Finnish.
Kiitos, kun käväisit ja kiitos, jos kommentoit. Ihanaa alkavaa viikonloppua! :)
Thanks for your visit and for any comment you may wish to leave me. Hope your weekend starts off nicely! :)
ETA: Osallistun kortillani Time Out Challenges -haasteeseen #5, aiheena inspiraatio sanoista 'Time flies, love lasts'
I'll submit my card to Time Out Challenges, challenge #5, Inspired by words: 'Time Flies, Love Lasts'. (Thanks, Sandie! :) )
