Work Time Wednesday # 36

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I couldn't resist making another card using Distress inks and this Altenew stamp set. I tried the new colour that I got Abandoned coral and it's beautiful. Together with Festive berries and Cracked pistachio with Mowed Lawn... perfection. Such a classy and elegant combination :) 

Nisem se mogla upreti še eni voščilnici z Distress blazinicami in Altenew štampiljkami. Uporabila sem novo barvo Abandoned coral (čudovita je) v kombinaciji s Festive berries in za liste Cracked pistachio z Mowed lawn. Zelo elegantna kombinacija :) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Try It Out Thursday # 3

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Long time no Try It Out Thursday :) There was a dilemma that begun on my Friday Fun post # 30 about stamping those Altenew stamps in Distress ink. As you probably know Distress ink is not really made for stamping (unless you want a splotchy look). Maja commented about not having enough shades of ink to stamp layering kind of stamps. So today I experimented with that in mind. 

Že dolgo ni bilo nobene Try It Out Thursday objave :) Na moj objavi Friday Fun številka 30 se je pojavila ena zanimiva dilema. Ali je mogoče te Altenew štampiljke odtisniti z Distress blazinicami. Verjetno vam je znano, da Distress blazinice niso ravno idealne za odtise, če ni vaš cilj neenakomeren in pikast odtis. Maja je pustila komentar, da nima dovolj različnih odtenkov blazinic, da bi lahko ustvarjala s temi štampiljkami, tako da sem se odločila preizkusiti ta dva izdelka skupaj. 

I used Spiced marmalade as my base colour, Ripe persimmon for my shades, Memento Tuxedo black for the outline and Twisted citron for the leaves (super nice green colour btw). They all worked perfectly! No splotchines, no spotting, just a great stamped image. It's probably because of the quality of Altenew stamps but this is great news even for me. I have quite a few beautiful Distress inks that need some love :)  

Uporabila sem Spiced marmelade za osnovno barvo, senčila sem z Ripe persimmon, obroba je bila odtisnjena z Memento Tuxedo black blazinico, listi pa so odtisnjeni s Twisted citron (mimogrede, čudovita zelena barva). Vsi poskusi so za seboj pustili perfekten odtis. Nobenih lis, pik, samo popoln odtis. Najverjetneje je za to kriva izjemna kakovost Altenew blazinic. To je pravzaprav odlična novica tudi zame. Imam kar nekaj čudovitih Distress blazinic, ki potrebujejo nekaj dodatne ljubezni :)

I hope you found this helpful and thank you for coming over!

Upam, da je moje "odkritje" dobra novica tudi za vas in hvala lepa za obisk!

Work Time Wednesday # 35

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Do you have that special pattern paper that is just too beautiful to cut it apart? There is never the right project for it? Well I used one of those today. And to keep focus on that paper I just added a few die cuts. Now it's waiting for the right person to get it ;)

Imate v svoji zalogi kakšen vzorčast papir, ki je preprosto preveč lep, da bi ga razrezali? Ali pa ni nikoli pravega izdelka, za katerega bi ga porabili? No, danes mi je uspelo porabiti enega od teh. Da sem ohranila fokus na čudovitem ozadju, sem dodala le par izrezkov. Zdaj pa čaka na pravega prejemnika ;) 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan.

A Blog Named Hero Challenge: Cards for Kids

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

We have another Challenge for you today at A Blog Named Hero. We are making cards for kids.

Danes imamo za vas nov izziv na A Blog Named Hero. Ustvarjali bomo voščilnice za otroke.

I made a shaker card with Lawn Fawn stamp set Ready, Set, Snow. I used tiny stamps from that stamp set and Sparkle Borders from Hero Arts on background of the shaker with ink and silver embossing. I used a couple of white and blue sequins inside that shaker and also tiny silver stars (that are actually supposed to be for nail art).

Naredila sem tresočko s setom Ready, Set, Snow od Lawn Fawn. Uporabila sem najmanjše štampiljke iz tega in Sparkle Borders seta štampiljk od Hero Arts za ozadje na tresočem delu, ki sem jih odtisnila z modro blazinico in tudi srebrno embosirala. V notranjost okvirja sem nasula par različnih belih in modrih bleščic, dodala pa sem še srebrne zvezdice, ki so sicer mišljene kot dekoracija na nohtih.

Snow men are glued on top of the shaker and I made some snow underneath of them with a dry baby wipe. 

Snežaka sem prilepila na vrh, pod njiju pa sem s pomočjo suhega otroškega robčka naredila sneg.

Now it's your time. Share your projects with us and you can win a 25 $ gift voucher from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp. 

Zdaj pa ste na vrsti vi. Delite z nami vaše izdelke, saj lahko dobite darilni bon za 25 $, ki ga poklanja naš sponzor Simon Says Stamp.

Work Time Wednesday # 34

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I loved making card last week and so I made another one :) I think we need a bit of sun these days :/

Voščilnica prejšnjega tedna mi je bila zelo všeč, zato sem na enak način naredila še eno :) Mislim, da nam malo sončka te dni ne bi škodilo :/

Have a great day and thank you for coming over!

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super dan!

Monday Madness # 35

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Today was supposed to be the best day of this week and it was depressing. The only thing to make it worse would be rain. So I tried some bright colouring on my card. But I just can't seem to keep my head focused. I need to rearrange my things a little bit because they are not working for me anymore. Does that happen to you a lot? 

Danes naj bi bil vremensko najlepši dan tega tedna. Če je bil to najlepši dan, potem me je malo strah kakšni bodo vsi ostali. Vso to sivimo sem poskušala pregnati z živahnimi barvami na moji voščilnici, pa nekako ne morem biti pri stvari. Bo trema malo drugače razporediti stvari, ker mi ne odgovarjajo več. Se vam pogosto dogaja, da vas okolica odvrne od ustvarjanja? 

I hope you have a great week!

Upam, da bo vaš teden super!

Friday Fun # 30

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I started with free card class on Altenew Academy and I love it :) It goes into detail of lining up the stamps like they are supposed to be and I made a card with my Painted Flowers stamp set that I love. Some flowers are stamped directly on my card base and a few of them are up on foam tape.

Danes sem začela spremljati brezplačno delavnico na Altenew Academy. Posamezni deli so vezani na različne sete štampiljk in navodila kako točno jih pravilno poravnati. Naredila sem voščilnico s tem setom in nekaj cvetov odtisnila direktno na osnovo, nekaj pa je izrezanih in dodanih s pomočjo penastega lepila.

Thank you for coming over and have a great end of the week.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super konec tedna.

Work Time Wednesday # 33

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I really got into this 30 Day Coloring Challenge and I'm playing with my watercolour pencils like a crazy woman :) I need to stamp some images on watercolour paper so I can really watercolour :) But today I made this beauty. Flowers are not coloured the usual way. I used strokes of two different pink pencils. I feathered my colour out like I see many do with Copic markers (that I don't have). Sentiment is die cut from Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh In The Snow pattern paper. 

30 Day Coloring Challenge me je povsem prevzel in zadnje dni barvam kot za stavo. Do zdaj sem uporabljala svoje akvarelne barvice na navadnem kartonu, potrebno pa bo odtisniti kakšno stvar na akvarelni papir, da bom dejansko uporabila tudi akvarelno tehniko. Danes sem naredila tole roza lepotičko. Cvetov in listov nisem pobarvala povsem običajno, ampak sem delala črte z dvema različnima roza barvicama. Tisti, ki uporabljajo Copic markerje običajno pravijo tej tehniki "feathering". Voščilo sem izrezala iz Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh In The Snow vzorčastega papirja. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Hvala za obisk in lep dan vam želim!

Monday Madness # 34

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I had a few errands to run today and I stopped in Rayher store in Ljubljana. I finally got my first Distress ink pads with new colours for 2015. I got the ones they had and I also added snowflake dies from Najlepši par because I'm planning my Christmas cards and I thought it was a great set for the price. 

V centru sem imela nekaj opravkov, pa sem se mimogrede ustavila še v trgovini Rayher in si končno privoščila par novih barv Distress blazinic. Kupila sem tiste, ki so jih imeli na voljo, zraven pa sem dodala še snežinke Najlepšega para, ker mislim, da je odličen set za to ceno, pa še planiram svoje božične voščilnice, tako da mi bodo prišle prav. 

I also have my 30 Day Color Challenge piece, but my desk lamp really is not helpful when you want to take photos after dark :/ But it still got coloured today :) 

Imam tudi pobarvan odtis za 30 Day Color Challenge, čeprav je moja namizna lučka povsem neuporabna, ko je potrebno kaj fotografirati v temi :( Barvala pa sem vseeno :)

Thank you for coming over and have a great day!

Friday Fun 29

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I was stamping some index cards today to have a few images ready to colour for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and I decided to colour in these two butterflies. I used my watercolour pencils and made them blend a bit without water. I really like the look. 

Na par kartončkov sem odtisnila nekaj štampiljk, da imam malo rezerve za 30 Day Coloring Challenge, pa sem se odločila danes pobarvati ta dva metulja. Uporabila sem akvarelne barvice in poskušala odtenke mešati brez uporabe vode. Mislim, da je kar lepo izpadlo. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great end of the week.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam super konec tedna.
