Simon Says: Gift It

We all hit a dry spell every now and then, right? Well, trying to get my feet wet again with card making (and blogging), so here it goes for Simon Says: Gift It -challenge!

This is a specially made shaker card for twins with their initials on the card. 

I used Simon Says Stamps "Tiny Ray of Sunshine" -stampset and corresponding "Baby Clothes & Crib" die-set from a couple of years back for the card.

It seems my old linking tool had disabled thumbnail images for free subscribers, so I guess I'll skip it for now.

P*skarteluhaaste #228 luonnos

The Finnish P*skarteluhaaste called for a sketch and I got to use my lovely Penny Black Softly -stamp colored in with Inktense-pencils and Memory Box Flourish -stencil with white ink.

Paskiksessa luonnostellaan, ja tähän oli ihan pakko korkata Penny Blackin Softly -leimasin. Käytin Archival Sepiaa mustan sijasta, kraft-pohjalle suoraan leimaten. Värittelin Inktense-kynillä ja päälle vettä, jotta sain väreistä vahvemmat. Kulmat tein valkoisella musteella Memory Boxin Flourish -sabluunan läpi. Valkoisella kynällä korostuksia ja doodleja, sekä valkoisia enamel dotseja. Tämmöstä tällä kertaa :)

Less Is More #167 - One layer / shadow stamping

This week at Less Is More challenge a one layer shadow stamping card is called for.

I finally found some good use for my Visible Image "Ink Splats" -stamp set! I used Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks for the stamping, creating the shadows with second generation stamping. On the front I used clear Wink of Stella glitterpen on top of the first generation splats. I stamped the same combination also on the inside of the card in slightly different composition and framed both the outside and the inside with faux stitching done in Peacock Feathers Distress Marker. Text is done with an old Lawn Fawn set, Harold's ABCs

12 tags of 2014 - March

I hopped over the February in the 12 tags of 2014, but I'm on board again with March. 

The stampset I chose was the Time Traveller and I tried to do the second generation tag as well, but my main image didn't really work well with that. So, I decided to go just with the first generation.

I did an ombre-effect on the gentleman by using rusty hinge, vintage photo and walnut stain ink pads.
The spritzing is done with stormy sky and pumice stone.

Kraft cards

I made a couple of clean and simple kraft-cards with Simon Says Stamp's hexagon die. I paperpieced the hexagons with Prima's Engraver and Craftsman -papers and stamped "gratulerer" with Lawn Fawn's Harold's ABCs -alphabet set.

Muutama clean and simple -tyylin kraft-kortti, joissa käytin Simon Says Stampin kuusikulmio-stanssia. Stanssasin palat myös Priman Engraver ja Craftsman -paperilehtiöistä ja "gratulerer" teksti on Lawn Fawnin Harold's ABC -aakkossetillä leimattu.
