Monday Madness # 13

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today is a holiday here in Slovenia and so is on Friday so this week I'm taking a short break and I'm going to the sea side for a few days. I still need to pack a bit but I wanted to let you know I will not be posting on my usual days, but I will be back next week and I have some extra things planned :) 
Ker so na sporedu prvomajske počitnice, si bom tudi jaz vzela nekaj dni dopusta in se odpravila na krajši oddih proti morju. Moram še spakirati do konca, vendar sem se želela oglasiti in sporočiti, da ta teden ne bo mojih običajnih objav, bom pa nazaj naslednji teden z nekaj dodatnimi objavami. 

Thank you for understanding and I hope I see you soon.

Hvala za razumevanje in upam, da se vidimo kmalu.

Friday Fun # 11

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a masculine version of my Wednesday's card with less sparkle and in the classic masculine colours.
Danes imam za vaš moško različico sredine voščilnice z manj lesketanja in v bolj klasičnih moških barvah. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great weekend (I have spring cleaning on my To do list)!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit podaljšan konec tedna (moj bo obarvan s spomladanskim čiščenjem)!

Work Time Wednesday # 11

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I'm back with another Perfect pearls playing around and this is what I came up with.
Danes z vami ponovno delim nekaj igranja s Perfect Pearls prahom in to je tisto, kar je nastalo.
Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

A Blog Named Hero Challenge - One Layer

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

We have a new challenge at A Blog Named Hero for you and it's One Layer.

Za vas imamo pripravljen nov izziv na A Blog Named Hero in to je Ena plast.

I used Altenew's Persian Motifs for my main image and I played around with gate fold for my card base and using Hero Arts Shadow inks as watercolour mediums. My card base is a piece of watercolour paper that I scored to make a gate fold and I clear embossed my images on the left flap of my card. Then I pressed my ink pad against a clear block and used some water and a paint brush to colour the flowers in. I used Pale Tomato for the flowers and Green Hills with some Bamboo Leaves for the stems and leaves.
Uporabila sem štampiljke Altenew imenovane Persian Motifs in sem poigrala z malce drugačnim prepogibom, ki se v angleščini običajno imenuje gate fold (v slovenščini nekako pregib vrat), za barvanje pa sem uporabila Hero Arts Shadow blazinice. Za osnovo sem uporabila akvarelni papir in ga prepognila z vsake strani. Na levi del sem embosirala s prozornim prahom največji motiv iz seta štampiljk in nato na akrilni blok odtisnila blazinice in s pomočjo čopiča in vode pobarvala cvetne liste s Pale Tomato in zelene liste z Green Hills in Memento Bamboo Leaves blazinico.
I noticed that Shadow ink kind of separates with water and yellow pigment pools on the edges like you can see on the close up. I will have to experiment some more, but I love this effect :)

Opazila sem, da se je barva Shadow blazinic z vodo začela ločevati, pri čemer se je na robove nabral rumenkast odtenek pri eni in drugi barvi, kar lažje vidite na približanem posnetku. Malce bom še morala eksperimentirati, ampak dejansko mi je efekt zelo všeč :)
To finish everything up I added some ink splatters on the front flaps, some Stickles dots and I cut the edge of the coloured flap following the flowers to add some dimension.

Da sem dokončala voščilnico sem dodala še nekaj barvnih pack, pikic z bleščicami, rob pobarvanega dela pa sem obrezala, pri čemer sem sledila obrisu štampiljk, da sem jo malce razgibala.
I hope you join us, because you can win a gift woucher from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp.

Monday Madness # 12

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

My desk is not a mess right now, but you can't do much crafting on it at the moment... I have my studying material all over it. No fun but necessary. I leave today for a couple of days so I can just leave it like this until I need the space. 

Moja miza ni ravno totalen kaos, na njej pa vseeno ni ravno veliko prostora za ustvarjanje. Preko nje je namreč razprostrtega nekaj študijskega materiala. Nič zabavnega, vendar vseeno nujnega. Sicer odpotujem danes za par dni, tako da me vmes takšen nered ne bo motil.
What are you up for this week?

Kaj pa imate vi v načrtu za ta teden? 

Have a wonderful day and come back later today for another post for A Blog Named Hero

Želim vam čudovit dan, malce kasneje pa se ponovno oglasite za novo objavo za A Blog Named Hero

Friday Fun # 10

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have a card for you today that came together after some playing around with Perfect Pearls pigment powders. I was just testing out blending different colours and then this happened :)
Danes imam za vas voščilnico, kjer sem se igrala s Perfect Pearls pigmentnim prahom. Na srečo je bilo igranje in mešanje barv uspešno in voščilnica na koncu povsem zadovoljiva :)
Thank you for coming over and have a great weekend.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit konec tedna.

Mateja 

Voščilnico dodajam v aprilsko galerijo Najlepšega para.

Work Time Wednesday # 10

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a baby girl card for you and I used a Memory Box stencil that I haven't used that much. I combined it with some stars from Lawn Fawn set, die from My Favourite Things, some pattern paper and a Mavelu Congratulations die. I went all over the place with this one, but I like it :) 
Danes imam za vas otroško voščilnico, kjer sem uporabila stencil šablono Memory Boxa, ki je že nekaj časa čakala, da jo ponovno uporabim. Dodala sem nekaj zvezdic iz seta Lawn Fawn, rezalno šablono My Favourite Things, nekaj vzorčastega papirja in Mavelu rezalna šablona s Čestitkami. Uporabljenih je bilo kup različnih pripomočkov, ampak končni izdelek mi je zelo všeč :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan.

Monday Madness # 11

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Things just keep on coming, but I got a few hours of creative time after all. I would probably lose it without it ;) I had some obligations to fulfil and now I have to get them written down in shape of blog posts. I hope you had a wonderful start of the week.

Obveznosti se kar kopičijo in kopičijo, vendar sem si vmes vzela nekaj uric za ustvarjanje. Najverjetneje bi se mi brez tega že malo "odpeljalo" ;) Obkljukati je bilo potrebno nekaj obveznosti, sedaj pa je vse skupaj potrebno spraviti le še v pisno obliko in pripraviti objave. Upam, da je bil vaš začetek tedna izjemen. 
I also have a mini haul to share. I ordered a few things from Najlepši par. A few dies and one stamp set. I forgot to take a picture before I put everything in its place, but I will link them up. First is a stamp set and dies with orchids, Congratulations sentiment die and Happy Birthday sentiment die. 

Imam še eno majhno naročilo, ki ga moram deliti z vami. Naročila sem par novih dobrot Najlepšega para, vendar sem pozabila narediti kakšen posnetek preden sem vse skupaj pospravila. Posledično bom delila ne povezave do posameznih stvari. Rezalne šablone in štampiljke Orhideje ter rezalna šablona Iskrene Čestitke in Vse najboljše.

Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan.

Friday Fun # 9


Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I have a masculine card for you today. I played with new background stamp from Hero Arts that is full of fishes. I combined it with a rope kind of border stamp, numbers and die cut sentiments from Najlepši par.  

Danes imam za vas pripravljeno voščilnico za moškega. Igrala sem se z novim ozadjem Hero Arts, ki je polno ribic. Dodala sem ji štampiljko, ki je podobno vrvi, številke in voščilo Najlepšega para.

Thank you for coming over and have a great weekend.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit konec tedna.

Voščilnico prijavljam v aprilsko galerijo Najlepšega para

Solo post at ... / Solo objava na ... ... A Blog Named Hero

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

Today I have my April solo post up at A Blog Named Hero and it's no line spotlight colouring on a birthday card. I hope you take a look by clicking on the bottom picture.

Danes je na vrsti moja aprilska solo objava na A Blog Named Hero. Na rojstnodnevni voščilnici sem uporabila dve tehniki - barvanje brez linij in osredotočeno barvanje. Upam, da si pogledate mojo končno voščilnico s klikom na spodnjo sličico. 


Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Work Time Wednesday # 9


Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have another Altenew card for you. Whimsical Flower is another build it up yourself stamp set with an outline and the solid image of flowers, leaves and other bits of flowers. I love the shape of this flowers and today I used them as a background, stamping the outline with purple inks. 

Danes imam za vas ponovno voščilnico z Altenew štampiljkami. Whimsical Flowers je set, ki omogoča sestavljanje cvetov in listov z obrobo, polnilom in ostalimi delci. Izjemno mi je všeč oblika teh cvetov, ki sem jih danes uporabila za ozadje v vijoličnih barvah. 
I don't know what is with this kind of layout, but I seem to end up with it over and over again. I think I should try to step out of this box from time to time. Perhaps some sketch challenges on the horizont? Something to think about …

Ne vem točno kaj se dogaja, da nekako vedno končam pri takšni skici. Mogoče je čas, da stopim malce izven okvirjev, ki sem jih navajena. Morda bi bilo smiselno začeti s kakšnim izzivom, ki vsebuje skico? Malce moram razmisliti o tem … 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

Monday Madness # 10

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

It's a bit strange posting Monday Madness when everyone is home for the holidays. But still it's Monday and I was quite productive today... You can see a few cards that I made and I cleaned up and got my ink pads closer to me. It's easier to keep my desk clean that way. 
Malce nenavadno je objaviti Monday Madness na ta praznični ponedeljek, ko so vsi doma. Sem pa bila vseeno kar pridna in produktivna danes... Pospravila sem mizo, blazinice sem si premaknila malce bližje, da je lažje ohranjati red na mizi, pa še nekaj voščilnic sem uspela narediti. Uspešen začetek tedna :)

I hope you had a great start to the week and see you again soon :)

Upam, da je bil tudi vaš začetek tedna prijeten in hvala za vaš obisk.

Friday Fun # 8


Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

After this card for a 90 year old lady this is another one of those wow requests. I got asked to do a card with butterflies (again) for 100th birthday. I was totally honoured. And this is what I came up with. I used Najlepši par's roses with Hero Arts Shadow Inks (silver one for the outlines). I cut Memorybox butterflies with vellum and cardstock that I then shaded with Red Royal ink. Numbers are also from Memorybox that I die cut from black cardstock. A bit of Stickles and Wink of Stella and that was it. In retrospective I would glue those numbers in the middle of the card (a bit higher), but I changed my mind about the sentiment and butterflies after I already glued them on.
Po tej voščilnici za 90 let, je bila prošnja za to voščilnico ponovno wow moment. Dobila sem prošnjo za voščilnico za 100 let z metulji. Zelo počaščena. To je voščilnica, ki sem jo izdelala. Uporabila sem vrtnice Najlepšega para s Hero Arts Shadow blazinicami. Metulje Memoryboxa sem izrezala iz paus papirja in kartona, ki sem ga senčila z Red Royal blazinico. Tudi številke so Memorybox šablone, ki sem jih izrezala iz črnega kartona. Nekaj Stickles in Wink of Stella bleščic, pa smo zaključili. Če gledam nazaj, bi morala številke prilepiti malo višje, da bi bile na sredini, vendar sem si premislila glede voščila in metuljev že po tistem, ko sem številke prilepila na osnovo. 
Thank you for coming over and have a great holiday weekend.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit praznični vikend.

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

I have another card with amazing Painted Flowers by Altenew. I used those roses with some masking this time and made a wedding/anniversary themed card (sentiment says Day of most wonderful dreams). 
Danes imam za vas novo voščilnico s čudovitim setom Painted Flower proizvajalca Altenew. Te čudovite vrtnice sem uporabila z masko v obliki srca in naredila voščilnico za poroko ali morda obletnico poroke.
Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan!

I'm entering this card into Simon Says Work It Wednesday for March where the theme is Stamp (I love this stamp set right now... it's perfect in so many ways).
