Perhospostia

Hei, terveiset mökkimaisemista, ensimmäiset sinivuokot ja mustarastas bongattu.
Päivä tuli vietettyä terassilla - vääntäen sytykeruusuja!
Kortti P*skarteluhaasteeseen tuli tehtyä jo perjantaina kaupungissa.
Aiheena bingo ja vinorivini on: vintage- raita- kulutettu.

 Perhosleimasimet ovat "butterfly post" ecogreen crafts'ilta, paperit ruotsalaisia, kulutettu, embossattu on colorcorea. Alemman perhosen keskelle laitoin kameen. Pitsiä, ruttunauhaa, kevään tulppaaneja ja liquid pearls tippoja kulmissa.

Hi, we had a beautiful sunny weekend, first flowers are blooming. Our beach is free from ice,
but the nights are still so cold, that it freezes nearly up again.
I made this vintage card for Finnish bingo themed challenge, my row is vintage- stripes-distressed.

Otso hommissa

Hei, no nyt löytyi remppakuva, taitaa olla An'ilta peräisin. Tämä on tehty kompuran soidessa taustalla, siis aidoissa tunnelmissa luonnoksen mukaan.

 Hi, made this card in the morning, found the working bear image, and coloured it - as listening the real noise of the renovation man and his tools. Finally one bathroom done, another still under work.
Don't remember whose the stamp is, I've got the image from a friend. Coloured it with ProMarkers;
papers are from Basic Grey's bowtie's set with corrugated fishtail. "Congrats" text tag and eyelet

Pilvet

Tuulista perjantaiaamua! Pyry on muuttunut ihan sateeksi. Pilviä on myös korteissa;
P*skarteluhaasteen inspiraatiokuvan innoittamana tehdyt kortit. Siis todellakin vasta kolmanteen versioon olin tyytyväinen.

 Kokeilin tuputtaa märälle vesiväripaperille DI värejä superlon tuputtimen kanssa ja Spellbinders piparistanssilla leikatun mallin avulla. Kuivatuksen jälkeen leimasin Penny Black "winter ledge 4271L". Tekstit ovat Stempelkellerin, aluspaperi Colorcore / DCWV.

 Hi, Three cards I made yesterday for the Finnish challenge with inspiration picture.
I was satisfield for the third one, as I was using superlon with wet watercolor paper and DI colours.

Kiitos käynnistä;-))m

Hei, tervetuloa Craft-Room haasteen pariin!
Aiheena kuljetus, autoja, polkupyöriä, veneitä...vaikka kuumailmapalloja, jotain millä pääsee eteenpäin. Minua innoitti Allegro juna Pietariin, tosin vintage muodossa... teksti on venäjänkielisestä kirjasta. Mies kävi viime viikolla Pietarissa työmatkalla, joten tämä aihe oli itselle ajankohtainen.

Fairy tale
My Time to Craft
Stampin' for the Week-End 

 My old russian dolls,  "maatuskat". I have used to take these on table at Easter with lots of decorative and chocolate eggs. My parents visited Russian very often and brought these wooden things and of course the crystals (pots and glasses).
My hubby was in St.Petersburg last week, travelled with the fast Allegro train, it took only 2,5 hours from Lahti to St. P. It's very popular way to go there just for a day! But there's so much to look at, fourth biggest city in the Europe with great  history and art. I visited there when it was still Leningrad in 80's! I'd like very much to visit there again, just because of the art;-))m

Vintage Spring 1/3

Hei, iloisia uutisia jo neljä pakettia on löytänyt kotiin, yksi Englannin paketti tuli Saksan kautta, siksi se kesti niin kauan. Nyt kun olisi vielä aikaa leikkiä noiden uusien tavaroiden kanssa. Olin eilen hoitamassa vanhuksia, sillä välin ukko oli laittanut television työhuoneen seinälle. Samalla nostanut ja sekoittanut mun roinat pitkin ...pientä kevätsiivousta kaivataan!
Viikonlopun vintagea silmäniloksi, kuva Pion design.

Hi, good news I've got my packages, four all together! One from GB came via Germany to Finland!
Now I have my goodies, hope to have some time to play with them too. 
My hubby put the tv to the wall stand yesterday when I was away - and all my crfating goods are messed up... so the room needs a little spring cleaning... somebody, please!
