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! :)

Penny Black: Kaktukset ja mehikasvit - Cacti and succulents

(please scroll down for English)

Kesäkuun toisen Simplicity Sister -postauksen aika :) Leimakuvana tässä on ihana kaktus/mehikasvirivi Happy Together -setistä. Oikeasti tuossa rivissä on viisi kasvia, mutta en saanut niitä kaikkia tuohon sopivasti mahtumaan, joten leimasin vain kolme. Kuvan väritin Zigeillä. Tekstileima on Snippets-setistä ja paneeli on stanssattu Stitched Stackers -setin stanssilla. Taustalla on kuviopaperia Penny Blackin Beau Jardin -paperikosta.



It's time for my second post for June as Simplicity Sister for Penny Black :) I made this card using the lovely row of cacti/succulents from the 'Happy Together' set. The stamp actually has five plants in a row but I could not fit them all in my panel so I only stamped three (I covered the other two with a post-it note when adding ink to the stamp to protect them, then took it off before stamping). I did my colouring using my Zig markers, and stamped the sentiment from the 'Snippets' set. I die cut the panel with a die from the 'Stitched Stackers' set. For the background, I used patterned paper from the 'Beau Jardin' 6 x 6 paper pad


Käytetyt Penny Black -tuotteet/Penny Black products used:
* 30-465 Happy Together
* 30-283 Snippets
* 51-416 Stitched Stackers
* 80-011 Beau Jardin

Kiitos, kun käväisit. Mukavaa juhannusta! :)

Thanks for popping by. Have a lovely day! :)

Uutisia - A Bit of News

Tänään minulla on kortin sijaan jaettavana uutisia! Aikaisemmin keväällä sain meilin, joka sai minut melkeinpä tipahtamaan tuolilta... Minua nimittäin pyydettiin mukaan Penny Blackin CAS-blogiin Simplicity at Its Best! Ja minä sanoin kyllä, kiitos! :) Tämä tarkoittaa siis sitä, että jatkossa teen pari korttia kuussa Simplicity Sisterinä, toisesta näette pienen kurkkauksen täällä ja kokonaan tuolla Simplicity at Its Best -blogissa ja toisen näette kokonaan täällä minun blogissani. Tänään on kurkkauksen aika, joten kannattaa suunnata Simplicity at Its Bestiin katsomaan koko kortit :)

Today I don't have a card to share with you, but I have some amazing news! Earlier in the spring I received an email and after reading it, I could have been knocked over with a feather... I was asked if I'd like to join Penny Black's CAS style blog 'Simplicity at Its Best' as a Simplicity Sister! If? If!? I love Penny Black, so there are no if's - of course I said 'yes, please'! (Well, I did ramble a bit more than that but that was my answer in a nutshell... :D ) So, from now on as a Simplicity Sister I'll share two cards a month made with gorgeous Penny Black goodies, one with only a sneak peek and one as a full card. Today I have the sneak peaks (yes, two..) so please head over to Simplicity at Its Best to see the full cards :)

And before I go, I would like to thank Penny Black and Jill Foster from the bottom of my heart for this amazing opportunity. I am overjoyed! and grateful! and happy! (and a bit nervous..!) and excited!  and... well, you know, really just happy to be a Simplicity Sister :)
