Sormenpäät pursuavat vaaleanpunaista

Tuli se aika, että on tullut tehtyä jotakin missä ei oikein ole tarpeeksi aineksia kaupan blogiin. Niinpä herätän tämänkin henkiin.

Vuodenvaihteen jälkeen sormistani on jotenkin tursunut ulos vaaleanpunaista ja pitsiä. Ensin se purskahti Millan ystävänpäivälahjaan. Se ei riittänyt, joten seuraavaksi koristelin Päpsylle ison puisen pyykkipojan.

Kiinnitin pohjalle ensin kuviopaperia multi-mediumilla ja sen päälle puuvillapitsiä samalla mömmöllä. Helpot spiraaliruusut on pyöritetty parista erisävyisestä vaaleanpunaisesta kartongista ja niiden päälle on suihkaistu hieman vaaleanpunaista helmiäistä. Kiinnitin höyhenet, helminauhan ja kukat ironisesti vaaleanpunaisella kuumaliimapistoolilla joka on ansainnut lisänimen "Baby Bornin ensimmäinen kuumaliimapyssy".

Embossasin takapuolen kuviopaperiin pitsiä. Tämänkin puolen olisi kai voinut peittää hörsöllä mutta ajattelin, että jos pyykkipoikaa aikoo käyttää esimerkiksi muistilappu/postikorttitelineenä niin sitä on helpompi käsitellä jos ihan joka pinta ei pursua.

Fragile Whisper

I've been listening to Suvi Teräsniska a lot lately, mainly to learn her songs. Her song Hento kuiskaus (Fragile Whisper) was playing in my head yesterday when I made this fairy card.


The paper and pictures and borders are all from G45 Once Upon a Springtime stack. I love most of the papers from the collection. I stamped some whirls on the paper with Tattered Rose Distress Ink before I adhered the pictures. I made the flowers with Magnolia Peony Petals -die and Artemio flower punch. Rose leaves are made with Nellie Snellen punch. I love the little Love-tag behind roses and I already regret I didn't order more than one package of those word embellishments from Klemmarikellari.

Another Valentines card that I made after this one was again a bit darker one. I used papers from Bo Bunny Crush stack and framed them with black cardstock. The heart is made with Tattered Angel Glimmer Screen and Barn Door red Distress Ink.


Last a project I've forgotten to post. Koukussa Kortteihin -challenge was to create a baby card. I couldn't come up with anything at first but then I found a pattern for a little baby shoe and made a card to go with it. Quite cute, aren't they?

Dark Valentine

I was trying my new Sizzix dies and wanted to try out the Styled Labels and Keyholes combination. Cut out of chipboard it needed a coat of paint. I painted it first with Game Colors Chainmail Silver and added some distressing on top with some black acrylic paint. Then I just needed to do something with it.

After some touching and turning and wondering I noticed some Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens on my table. One heart had a keyhole in the middle and that was how this rather dark Valentines day card was born.

First I inked the whole card over heart shape with Barndoor Red Distress Ink and ink blending tool. Then I added some Black Soot on the edges. I used another glimmer screen from the same set to draw key shape with white gel pen. I did the same inside the card with black felt tip pen.

The key inside the card is painted with the same Chainmail Silver paint mentioned earlier and hearts are painted with Distress Ink.
