Spring Swing

Kot sem že omenila, resnično občudujem delo ustvarjalke Iwone Palamountain. In ker so mi všeč njene voščilnice, so mi seveda posledično všeč tudi skice, ki jih objavlja na svojem blogu, vsako soboto, v "Sketchbook Saturday Challengeu". Tokratni, "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #55" mi je bil zelo zanimiv, vendar pa do danes nisem našla pravega navdiha zanj. Danes pa se mi je le porodila ideja, skico pa sem sicer malo prilagodila svojim potrebam. :) Barvna inspiracija je s tokratnega "Colorthrowdown Challengea #188".

Like I mentioned before, I realy admire the art of a crafter Iwona Palamountain. And since I love her cards I also love her sketches that she publishes on her blog, each saturday, in a "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge". This week's "Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #55" was realy appealing right from the start but I kind of didn't find the right inspiration for it. But today I finally got the idea, although I addapted a sketch a bit to my own needs. :) The color inspiration is from this week's "Colorthrowdown Challenge #188".

Najprej sem natisnila tole ljubko deklico od "Paper Shelterja - Spring Swing" in jo pobarvala z akvarelnimi barvicami in waterbrushem. Perforirala sem spodnji rob in osenčila robove z distress blazinicama "Antique Linen" in "Vintage Photo". Deklico sem pritrdila na živahen zelen dizajnerski papir "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" in nekoliko večji dizajnerski papir iz kolekcije "Tilda". Natisnila sem verz - zastonjček od "Craft's Meow", ga izrezala in olepšala rob z robnim luknjačem "Marthe Stewart". Vse skupaj sem pritrdila na osnovo voščilnice s 3D blazinicami. Odtisnila sem dva metuljčka s štampiljko "Just Rite - Botanical Butteflies", enega v vroči roza barvi in drugega v zelenkastem odtenku. Izrezala sem ju in ju pritrdila v zgornji levi kot sentimenta. Dodala sem še nekaj perlic in nekaj biserčkov.

I started out with printing the little girl from "Paper Shelter - Spring Swing" and coloring her with aquarel color pencils and waterbrush. I perforated the bottom edge and distressed edges with distress inks "Antique Linen" and "Vintage Photo". I attached the girl onto the bright green designer paper from "K&Company - Tim Coffey Cottage Garden" and a bit larger designer paper with pink stripes from the "Tilda collection". I printed out the sentiment - a freebie from "Craft's Meow", cut it out and embellished the bottom edge with an edge punch from "Martha Stewart". I attached it to the base of the card with 3D foam tapes. I stamped two butterflies from "Just Rite - Botanical Butterflies", one in hot pink and another one in a green color. I cut them out and attached them on the upper left corner of the sentiment. I added some pearls and some rhinestones.
Upam, da vam je všeč. Zdaj pa šibam v posteljo. Oči se mi kar same od sebe zapirajo. :) Nočko! :) I hope you like it. Now I am off to my sweet bed. My eyes are slowly closing by itself. :) Good night to all of you! :) Aleksandra

Cherish you

Večjih količin črne in sive barve se pri voščilnicah na široko ogibam. Nekako mi jo je težko vkomponirati, ne da bi voščilnica izpadla monotono. Vendar pa je tokratna ideja, ki je prišla z inspiracijo na blogu "CASE Sudy Challenge #87" enostavno kričala po njej, saj voščilnica brez nje ni izpadla tako kot sem želela. Zato sem sprejela še ta izziv in se odločila, da ji dam priložnost. Moram priznati, da sem z voščilnico zelo zadovoljna.

I have this funny habit to stay away from large areas of black and grey color in my projects, since I kind of have troubles to implement them in the way they wouldn't reflect monotonically. But the card that I made from inspiration for this week's "CASE Study Challenge #87" was literally screaming for it and the card just didn't seemed right without it, so I took another challenge for me and decidec to give it another opportunity. I have to admit I like the card that came out of the whole idea.

S tiskalnikom sem natisnila digitalno štampiljko češenj ustvarjalke "Beccy's Place" in spodaj dodala besedo "cherish". Motiv sem pobarvala z akvarelnimi barvicami in waterbrushem v številnih odtenkih rdeče in sive. Izrezala sem ga s "Spellbinders Nestabilities - Standard Circles Large", perforirala ob robu in osenčila z distress blazinico "Pumice Stone". Izrezala sem še eno obliko s "Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities - Grand labels Four" in embosirala s cuttlebug srajčko. Po sredini sem dodala "washi tape" v barvah rdeče, sive in nežno rjave barve. Odtisnila sem črki "I" in "U" od "Inkadinkado - Rosewood Alphabet" v črni barvi in jih izrezala. S 3D blazinicami sem jih pritrdila na večjo obliko, prav tako tudi osrednji motiv češnje, v zgornji desni kot pa sem dodala rdeč gumbek. Za osnovo sem uporabila rdeč papir "Bazzill Basics Paper" in dizajnerski papir "Best Creation Inc - Mr.& Mrs.". Ti lepi beli cvetovi so me spomnili na cvetočo češnjo, zato je bil papir popolna izbira. V spodnji levi kot sem odtisnila še "Thank you" s štampiljko "Just Rite - Fleur de Lis Labels Eighteen" v črni barvi.

I printed out the digital stamp of cherries from "Beccy's Place", and at the bottom added a word "cherish". I colored the image with aquarel color pencils and waterbrush in various shades of red and grey. I cut it out with "Spellbinders Nestabilities - Standard Circles Large", perforated and shaded the edges with distress ink "Pumice Stone". I cut out another shape with "Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities - Grand Labels Four" and embossed it with cuttlebug embossing plate. In the middle I added "washi tape" in shades of red, grey and light brown. I stamped letters "I" and "U" from "Inkadinkado - Rosewood Alphabet" in black and cut them out. I attached both letters and the main motif on a larger shape with 3D foam tape. I added small red button in upper right corner. For the base I used red cardstock from "Bazzill Basics Papers" and a designer paper from "Best Creation Inc - Mr.& Mrs.". Those cute little white flowers reminded me on a cherry blossom, so it fitted perfectly. I stamped a "Thank You" sentiment from "Just Rite - Fleur de Lis Labels Eighteen" in black in the bottom left corner of the card.
