The Flower Challenge #45: June - Kesäkuu

The June challenge is starting at The Flower Challenge and this month we have a colour challenge to inspire you, we're asking you to use 'Navy + One Other'. Our Guest Designer is the fabulous Jenny Hall.

I decided to go with die cuts this time and used a Penny Black die called Playful Posies and die cut my very dark navy florals with it. My one other colour is white and I die cut two frames with Penny Black's Simple Stackers dies. After adhering everything in place, I stamped my sentiment ('Congratulations') in navy ink.

Please do visit The Flower Challenge to see the fabulous inspiration created for you by my team mates and our Guest Designer. And don't forget to join us with your floral card!



The Flower Challengessä alkaa uusi haaste ja kesäkuussa meillä on väriteema, 'Navy + One Other' eli navy-sininen ja joku muu väri. Guest Designerina meillä on Jenny Hall.

Omaan korttiini käytin Penny Blackin ihanaa kukkastanssia, Playful Posies, ja stanssasin kukkaset tummansinisestä kartongista. Toinen värini on valkoinen, joten stanssasin Penny Blackin Simple Stackers -stanssilla pari paneelia ja kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen. Tekstileiman leimasin navy-musteella.

Cat - Kissa

I love this sweet looking kitty cat by Waffle Flower! It's from the set Smiling and I coloured it with my Copics before die cuttting it with the matching die. I used some patterned papers for the background, added my sentiment (it says 'All the Best') and embellished the card with some sequins.

I'm entering my card to the following challenges:
* Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: WWC274 - Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist
* Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #392 - Make Your Mark

Tämä Waffle Flowerin kissu on sitten maailman söpöin! Se on setistä Smiling, väritin sen Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia, Heidin Korttipajan tekstileimalla tekstin ja koristeiksi paljetteja. 

AAA Birthday #14: June - Kesäkuu

It's June 1st and a new challenge is starting at AAA Birthday. Our theme for June is 'Use Vellum' and we have a fab Guest Designer, Izzy Scrap. 

I just cannot get enough of these sweet bundle girls by Stamping Bella! For this card I used Bundle Girl with a Foxglove, I coloured her with my Copics and die cut her with the matching die. For the background, I chose a piece of pretty patterned paper and to create a slightly calmer background for the girl, I die cut a circle frame with an MFT die and attached some vellum behind it. I then attached everything in place, added my birthday sentiment and embellished the card with some sequins.

Now please pop by AAA Birthday blog to see all the fabulous cards created by my talented team mates and our Guest Designer and please do join us with your birthday cards!


Kesäkuu alkaa ja samoin alkaa uusi haaste AAA Birthdayssä. Teemana tässä kuussa on 'Use Vellum' eli vellumia pitäisi synttärikortissa käyttää tavalla tai toisella. Guest Designerina meillä on Izzy Scrap.

Nämä Stamping Bellan bundle girlit ovat niin suloisia, käytin tähän Bundle Girl with a Foxglove -leimaa. Väritin leimakuvan Copiceilla ja stanssasin irti. Taustalle laitoin kuviopaperia, MFT:n stanssilla stanssatun ympyräkehyksen ja sen taakse hieman vellumia. Sitten kiinnitin kaiken paikoilleen, lisäsin tekstit ja muutaman paljetin.

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'.

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.
