kortti 109/12
Vielä vähän kuvia mökkimaisemista, lumen alta paljastui betoniruukku, jossa maksaruohot alkavat jo virkistyä. Sinivuokot kukkivat täysillä ja kimalaiset pörräävät! Ja viimeisessä kuvassa jäistä vapaaksi aukeavasta järvestä kuvastuvat pumpulipilvet. Kippis,-))m

 Some pictures from our cottage, my concreate pot has been under snow and now the plants are awakening.

 Bumble-bees and blue flowers... and a warm sunny day! (Yesterday) We had a quite cold night.

Once again this same scenery, always chancing, there are ice in the middle of the lake, beautiful cotton clouds reflects from the water. We enjoy here with two more vacation days;-))m

Big Congrats!

Hei, upeaa sunnuntaipäivää! Tänään superisot onnittelut, ainakin kortti on isokokoinen.
Ja ihan vapaalla kädellä leikatut ja distressatut paperit. Leima Penny Black/MoManning.

Tämä kortti vaikka äitienpäiväonnitteluihin!

Altered frame

Hei,
viikko sitten esittelin tämän DT työn Craft-Room haasteessa, jonka teema on vielä viikon ajan "musiikki!"
Tässä sitten se mitä siitä tuli lopulta. Kortti päätyi tuunatun kehyksen sisään.

 Kehys oli uusi, musta, maalasin päälle kahdella eri krakleerausmaalilla. Lisäsin päälle metallisiivet, paloja tekstistä, niitä on myös kehyksen sivulla, nuottiavaimia. Pohja ja kulmat ovat vanhasta nahkatakista, jonka kanssa on kuljettu muutamat konsertit.

 Hello, week ago I showed my DT work at Craft-Room challenge "music"! Here's what I donefinally: altered frame. Frame was new, black one, I used two Rangers crackle paint ( old paper; brushed conduroy).
Tim Holtz's wings, pieces of the text here and there, musical notes (Crealies die) with Glossy Accents.
The card is added to the base with pearl brads. The base and corners (Marianne die) are leather from my old jacket. The jacket has been with me at the concerts of The Boss Springsteen and Michael Jackson...
