Thank You Card with Stenciling, Stamping and Heat Embossing

Hi guys, 

a quick post to share a card I made for the current CAS Mix Up Card Challenge. The challenge is closing soon so I though I better hurry up getting this posted! I used a large flower stencil by sponging inks and stamping through it. I then added more sponging to the card base + went a bit crazy adding white dots with gel pen... There's quite many of them. :) This was originally going to be a one layer but after messing up my sentiment straight to the card base I ended up adding a strip of dark red card with a heat embossed sentiment. I actually like this look better than the one layer look I created first so I'm happy I made the boo boo! Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for popping by. Oh and Kiitos is Finnish for Thank You. :)

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

Here's my DT card for the latest Inspirational Challenge

Vehicles 

This theme was chosen by DT member Carol -if you don't know her blog Just Me C, don't hesitate to click here!

I was a bit troubled with this challenge at first but then my crafty friend Milla came to rescue and borrowed me these fun stamps, perfect for a card for my 1,5 years old godson. He has a yellow car toy he likes so that defined the colors of the car... And then I just tried to go for fun, bold colors for the rest of the card. I used Copics for coloring this scene I created with 2 individual stamps and masking. I also wrote the boy's name to the roof of the car -in the stamp it says "on duty" but I cleaned that off from the stamp after inking (didn't manage to do it perfectly though, there's some y left!). His name "Onni" means happiness in Finnish, it's actually a very popular name in my country."Kevätterkut" means Spring Wishes. 

If you need more ideas for what you could make please head on over to the challenge blog where our DT along with our talented guest designer Tanja will give you lots of ideas!

Card for a Baby Girl!

Hi everyone!

I needed a card to congratulate new parents for their baby girl. I'm not a big fan of making baby cards, I don't love baby pink or baby blue and although I love cute animal stamps and doodle style floral stamps I don't really like the over the top super duper cute images people are supposed to use in baby cards... Luckily or me this couple with the newborn girl lives in Lapland and loves nature so I though a small cute critter might do the trick... And I think this turned out quite cute. I embellished the fox from Lawn Fawn with a die cut bow (we are after all celebrating, aren't we!) and because foxes (at least) in Finland have a white belly I altered the stamped image a bit drawing one more black outline and leaving extra white. I sponged the bg behind my fox and made the card base to match by sponging that with same inks too. The stitched curve is cut with a SSS die. I also like the look of the textured card base. Hope you like too! Thanks for popping by!
