New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here today with my DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational where we have a very cool moodboard for your inspiration. I'm sure you'll find something that inspires you from the photos of the it!

I was inspired by only one photo this time -the top right photo with black and white wreath and Christmas text. I pretty much tried to replicate the photo with my own supplies. I stamped a wreath style of image from Pinkfresh Studio with white ink on black card stock and after that was dry, I heat embossed a Colorado Craft Company sentiment with white powder. I really love how this turned out and if I'll be short on Christmas cards I think I'll re-make this design -it would work in other colors too I think... Stamping the florals tone on tone on pink for example and with a black sentiment, that could be fun! 

Do head on over to our challenge blog where we have lots of more inspiration for you along with all the challenge details and linky for your projects. Thank you for popping by! 

 

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

 Hi friends!

I'm back with another DT card for Inkspirational. I unfortunately had to skip a couple of challenges... Real life with work, some travels and also with Christmas preparations was simply too overwhelming and I couldn't find energy for creativity... But now it's good to be back and I'm happy how my card turned out! :)

The next fortnight we are inspired by this fun moodboard:

I was inspired by the overall colors, the black and white "love", the feathers, and one of the geometric patterns that you see in the middle of the right edge of the moodboard.

The background is made with sponging white pigment ink on black card stock, stencil by Funky Fossil Designs. The feathers are cut with a Gina K dies from white glitter card stock. Sentiment is simply stamped and die cut, the stamp comes from Pinkfresh Studio. 

Do head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration! I look forward seeing what you'll create.

New Challenge at Time Out!

 Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out! The next fortnight we are inspired by a fabulous purse created by our former DT member Kim who also runs an Etsy shop Running Stitch Design . The winner of this challenge will receive this purse as a prize! Wonderful, right?!? I do hope to see you playing along! 

I was inspired by the two toned poppies and the "patterned paper feel" of the fabric. My background paper is more blue than Kim's fabric, I'm totally in love with hers... But I didn't have a perfect match so this had to do! The poppy stamp is by Waffle Flower. Sentiments by Pinkfresh Studio. I've colored the flower with both pink and red petals but it's not very obvious in the photo -taking photos in natural light in Finland in November (and December, January, February and March lol!!) is not the easiest. :) 

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you playing along! Lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details in our challenge blog HERE. 

Card for Challenges!

HI friends!

I'm not often here with a card "just for fun" but today is the day! :) I've colored in an amazing Power Poppy digi with Copics and pencils. To finish off the card I just simply stamped a sentiment by Pinkfresh Studio and inked the edges of the panel with light blue distress ink. I used a scrap of spotty paper to give the image a "side frame" (I'm sure there's a better way to say that lol!). An image this gorgeous doesn't ned much else added, at least to my taste. Hope you like and thanks for popping by!

AAA Birthday Challenge Reminder!

Hi friends!

After an over a month long blogging break I'm here today to remind you of our current challenge at 

AAA Birthday Challenge

where we look for shaped cards! 

I've been in a middle of moving house and starting a new household with my partner and his kids... Emptying and cleaning two flats and cleaning and organizing a 140 years old, almost 300 square meter house has been taking all my time! Anyway -here I am now and hope to get back to the swing of crafty things. 

To read all the details about our shaped cards challenge and link up your card, please click HERE. Here's the how to play in a nutshell:

My card is a fun variation of the good old gatefold card. I followed this video tutorial. I don't often use patterned paper so this was a different make for me, very fun! The gorgeous floral image is by Pink Fresh Studio. I colored the image with Copics and added a birthday sentiment in Finnish by Korttipaja. Hope you like and thanks for popping by!

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

It's time for a new challenge at Inkspirational and this time our DT member Marlena has chosen the theme and asks us to "Angle It" -She suggests we angle something in the card for movement. I went with a pretty easy route; I made a thank you card for a friend and angled one panel behind my focal point panel instead of using a traditional frame. I quite like it so thank you Marlena for the inspiration! I've used a beautiful new floral image by Pink Fresh Studio, designed by the fantastic Alex Syberia. Love her work!  The image is colored with Copics and Altenew markers. The die cut sentiment is an oldie but goodie from MFT and the heat embossed sentiment belongs to the PF stamp set. Hope you like! Thanks for popping by and I hope to see you joining us.
