To my beautiful friend - Ihanalle ystävälle

I made a card with my newest stamp, Mama Elephant's Wild Meadow. I stamped it onto the side of the panel and coloured it with my Copics. The sentiment I used is from the same set, and after stamping it I simply layered the panel onto some light green cardstock and adhered it to my card base.

I'd like to enter my card to following challenges:
* Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #347 - Make Your Mark

Tein kortin Mama Elephantin Wild Meadow -leimalla. Leimasin sen paneelin reunustalle, väritin Copiceilla ja leimasin tekstileiman (samasta Wild Meadow -setistä). Sen jälkeen vain kerrostin sen vaaleanvihreälle kartongille ja sitten korttipohjaan kiinni.

Inkspirational Challenges: Guest Designer

I'm very lucky to be guest designing for Inkspirational Challenges this month and now it's time for the 3rd challenge of the month and at the same time my last card as a Guest Designer. The theme is 'Designer's Choice' and this time it is '3 or 5 of something'.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen these stamped images before - I coloured them for The 30 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin (aka The Daily Marker) and as there are 3 of the stamped images, I thought they were perfect for this challenge! The images are from 'Wildflowers' set by MFT, I coloured them with my Copics and die cut them out. I die cut the frame with an MFT die and adhered it straight to the card base. I heat embossed my sentiment (Finnish for "Birthday Wishes") on a strip of black cardstock and adhered it in place after I had adhered the flowers and leaves. I embellished my card with sequins (3 of them!).

Olen tässä kuussa Inkspirational Challengesissä guest designer ja nyt alkaa kuun viimeinen haaste. Aiheena on '3 tai 5 jotakin'. Käytin korttiini kolme leimakuvaa, nämä ovat MFT:n Wildflowers-setistä. Väritin ne Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Kehyksen stanssasin MFT:n stanssilla ja tekstin embossasin mustalle kartonkisuikaleelle. Koristeina (kolme!) paljettia.

Tiedot haasteesta ja Design Teamin upeat kortit löytyvät Inkspirational Challenges -blogista.

Time Out Challenges: Guest Designer

It's my second post as the Guest Designer for Time Out Challenges. This time Time Out challenges us to be funny :)

For my card, I used the parachuting mouse from the Penny Black set It's Your Day. I think he's funny in a very cute manner! I coloured him with my Zig markers and die cut him out. I then die cut the sentiment with a Winnie & Walter die, I actually die cut several hellos so that I could stack them all on top of each other. The frame is die cut with dies from Stitched Nested Frames set by Penny Black, and for the background I used some pretty patterned paper. I also added a few clear sequins as embellishments.

Please check the details of the challenge at Time Out Challenges and while you're there, feast your eyes on the inspiration that the Design Team has created for you!


Olen Guest Designerina Time Out Challengesissä, jossa haasteena on olla hauska. Omaan korttiini käytin laskuvarjoilevaa hiirtä Penny Blackin setistä It's Your Day, väritin sen Zigeillä. Tekstin stanssasin Winnie & Walterin stanssilla, stanssasin niitä muutaman ja kiinnitin ne päällekkäin. Kehys on stanssattu Penny Blackin stansseilla Stitched Nested Frames -setistä, taustalla on kuviopaperia ja muutama kirkas paljetti koristeena.

Time Out Challenges: Guest Designer

 

I am so honoured to be the Guest Designer for Time Out Challenges for the coming forthnight, thank  you so very much for having me, ladies! The theme for the challenge is a funny one ;) as Time Out challenges you to be funny :)

I had a look at my stamps and thought that this little fella has the funniest look on his face. He's from the Polynesian Paradise set by My Favorite Things. I coloured him and the little flowers with my Copic markers and die cut them out. I then die cut the background with a Create a Smile die and stamped the sentiment from the Polynesian Paradise set before adhering the panel onto a card base that I folded from yellow cardstock. I then adhered the little fella in place - I think he likes to laze around on the flowers :)

Please hop over to Time Out Challenges to see the details of the challenge and to see the gorgeously funny cards created by the Design Team.



Sain kunnian olla Guest Designer Time Out Challengesissä. Haaste on hauska, sillä tällä kertaa Time Out haastaa meidät olemaan hauskoja :) Omaan korttiini valitsin My Favorite Thingsin liskon Polynesian Paradise -setistä, josta myös nuo kukat ja tekstileima on. Väritin leimakuvat Copiceilla ja taustalle stanssasin kuvion Create a Smilen stanssilla. Sitten vain kiinnitin kaiken paikalleen.

The Flower Challenge #33: Reminder - Muistutus

It's reminder time at The Flower Challenge. In June we're focusing on background stamping so get creating those backgrounds with floral images! We have the wonderful Deepti Malek as our guest designer and she is giving away one of the stamp sets she's designed to our lucky winner, how lovely is that?!

For my DT card, I chose to use Best Buds set by Paper Smooches. I stamped the background with one of the tiny flowers and decided to leave it uncoloured. For my main image, I chose the floral banner from the same set and coloured it with my Copics. I attached the panel onto dark grey cardstock and adhered the main image on it, adding a bit of gold twine behind it. Quick and easy! :)

Now please hop over to The Flower Challenge blog for details on how to enter our challenge and for a good dose of inspiration from my talented team mates. And please remember, you'll have until June 25th to participate.



The Flower Challengessä on muistutteluaika, tämän kuun haasteena on taustan tekeminen. Guest designerina meillä on Deepti Malek, joka antaa voittajallemme suunnittelemansa leimasetin palkinnoksi! 

Omaan korttiini käytin Paper Smoochesin Best Buds -settiä. Leimasin taustan pienellä kukkaleimalla ja päätin käyttää kukkabanneria "pääosassa". Taustan jätin värittämättä mutta kukkabannerin väritin Copiceilla. Kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen ja lisäsin kultanarua bannerin taakse.

The Flower Challenge -blogista löytyy tarkemmat ohjeet osallistumiseen ja myös inspiraatiota Design Teamiltä, käypä kurkkaamassa. Aikaa osallistumiseen on 25.6. asti.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge: Guest Designer

It's reminder time at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where I'm guest designing this month. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Partial Stamping.

For my card I used a stamp from the Penny Black set Flower Fantasy. I die cut the panel with a Penny Black die from the set Swirly Stitches and stamped the flower on it partially four times before watercolouring them. I also added a few watercolour splashes here and there before I stamped the sentiment from the set Special Sentiments. Then I matted the panel onto some dark blue cardstock before adhering it onto light blue cardbase.

And now please hop over to Penny Black Saturday Challenge for the challenge details and to see what the amazing Design Team has created for your inspiration!



Olen guest designer Penny Black Saturday Challengessä ja nyt on muistuttelukortin aika. Aiheena haasteessa on Anything Goes ja vaihtoehtoinen twisti on Partial Stamping. Omaan korttiini käytin kukkaa Penny Blackin Flower Fantasy -setistä, jonka leimasin Swirly Stitches -setin stanssilla stanssaamani paneelin reunoille. Kukat väritin vesiväreillä. Tekstileima on Special Sentiments -setistä. Paneelin kiinnitin tummansiniselle kartongille ja sen puolestaan kiinnitin vaaleansiniseen korttipohjaan.

Inkspirational Challenges: Guest Designer - Garden

I'm thrilled to be guest designing for Inkspirational Challenges for the  month of June and it's time for the second challenge of the month. It's a lovely challenge with the word prompt of 'Garden'.

There's a reason why I chose this stamp, Penny Black's Unfolding, for the Garden challenge. I'm terrible at identifying flowers but these blooms look like peonies to me and... I will be getting my own flower bed full of peonies soon! Yay! I love peonies and I'm so excited to have some in my garden soon :) And yes, they will be pink ones ;) But as to my card, I stamped the image straight onto Ranger watercolour paper and coloured it with my watercolours. I then sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage onto the bottom of the card. I decided to heat emboss the sentiment (it says, loosely translated, 'Birthday Wishes' in Finnish) in white onto a strip of dark grey cardstock and attached it onto the card.

And now please hop over to the Inkspirational Challenges blog for the details on the current challenge and to see what the amazing Design Team has created for your inspiration.


Kesäkuussa saan olla guest designer Inkspirational Challengesissä ja nyt alkavan haasteen teemana on puutarha. Valitsin tämän leiman (Penny Blackin Unfolding) korttiini, koska nuo kukat muistuttavat pioneja ja minä olen saamassa pionipenkin puutarhaani :) Mutta korttiini siis leimasin Unfolding-leiman suoraan korttipohjaan, jonka taittelin Rangerin vesiväripaperista. Leimakuvan väritin vesiväreillä ja alareunaan mustetin Distress Oxide -mustetta. Tekstileiman embossasin kartonkisuikaleelle ja kiinnitin korttiin.
