Kesällä toivottavasti ei "ressata", muuta kuin paperien reunoja! Seuraavan haasteemme aiheena on nimittäin "Ressaa ja revi". Ressaamalla paperin reunoille annetaan rispaantunut ilme joko ressaustyökalulla tai saksien terällä. Repiminen tai ressaaminen on usein juuri se viimeinen silaus, jolla työstä saa vintagehenkisen! Käsitellyt reunat voi halutessaan vielä värjätä (ruskealla) musteella. Haasteemme sponsori Paperilohikäärme lahjoittaa arvontavoittajalle setin upeita mulperipaperikukkasia. Tervetuloa repimään ja ressaamaan kanssamme!
In the summertime we hope you won't be distressed, but we'd like to see your papers that way, because the theme of our new challenge is "Distress and tear". Tearing or using a distressing tool or your scissor blades to age the edges of your papers is often that final touch making your work look vintage! You can also add some (brown) ink on the edges, if you wish. The sponsor of this challenge, Paperilohikäärme, will donate the randomly chosen winner some gorgeous mulberry paper flowers. Welcome to tear and distress with us!
Onnittelut voittajille! Ottakaa yhteyttä vintage.challenge@gmail.com palkintojenne saamiseksi.
Congratulations both of you! Please, contact me at vintage.challenge@gmail.com to claim your prize.
Keväisistä häistä ja romansseista hypättiinkin ainakin säiden puolesta suoraan keskelle kesää! Kiitos edelliseen haasteeseemme osallistuneille! Voittajat julkaistaan lauantaina.
From spring weddings and romances we jumped straight into summer, and Finland has been one of the hottest spots in Europe during the last weeks. Thanks to all of you participating in our last challenge, and please come back on Saturday to see the winners!
Tämän kaksiviikkoisen ajan haasteemme aiheena on "Itämainen kortti". Mihin ajatuksesi vievät kuullessasi tuon sanan? Japaniin, Kiinaan, Arabimaihin, Intiaan tai ehkä muihin osiin Aasiaa? Muistathan, että haluamme nähdä kortissasi myös tuulahduksen menneestä ajasta. Sponsorimme Crafty Sentimentstarjoaa haasteen arvontavoittajalle digikuvia. Tervetuloa mukaan!
This fortnight we'd like to see some "Oriental cards". What does the word bring to your mind? Japan, China, Arabic countries, India, or maybe other parts of Asia? Please remember, that we would also like you to bring a blast from the past on your card! Crafty Sentimentswill offer some digital stamps to the randomly selected winner. Welcome to join us!
Tällä kertaa saimme vierailevaksi DT-jäseneksemme Mariannen, jonka japanilaishenkinen mallikortti on kerrassaan ihastuttava. Alla hänen tervehdyksensä.
This time we were honoured to get Marianne as our guest designer. Below you can read her greetings and see her stunning card in japanese style.
Hello, my name is Marianne, and I`m so happy
and honored to be a guest DT here at the wonderful It`all about Vintage and Beauty
challenge blog. I am 40 years old, and I live in Vestfold, Norway with my
husband and our three wonderful children.
I have been completely addicted to papers
and stamps for about seven years, and it has become a big part of my life. It`s
more of a lifestyle than just a hobby.
I am very happy to be a DT member at Pion
Design, Bildmålarna and the Norwegian challenge blog Sketchy Colors.
My style is hard to describe, and I like to
try out new things all the time. Scrapping is not my thing, but I love to use
different shapes and folding techniques for my paper projects. I also love to
color, and my best friends are Copics and Prisma Colors. I think my cards are
kind of clean, but still with lots of details. You don`t see a lot of bright
colors in my projects, I like soft and muted colors. I love the vintage/shabby
style where I can play with lots of beautiful details as ribbons, laces, roses,
pearls, buttons, swirls and plenty more.
When I saw the theme for this challenge, I
admit I got a little scared. But I like a good challenge, and after a few days
of thinking, I ended up really enjoying making this card. It is a tag card,
like an envelope with a big tag inside. I found this beautiful image on internet, and
I think it works great with the papers from Maja Design. I have distressed all
the edges, and used my sewing machine around all the panels. Of course I had to
use some swirls, roses, lace and lots of small pearls, and I have made a fan of
the same Maja papers, edging it with a Martha Stewart border punch. The clay
details in the image corner, and the center of the fan I have made with paper
clay and silicon molds. After drying, I used some deep pink Glimmermist, and
quickly rubbed off some of it to make the white areas and the shabby look.
Ja tässä tulee lisää itämaista inspiraatiota vakituiselta DT:ltämme.
And here is some more oriental inspiration from our standing DT:
