A post in Hungarian :D

Some of my friends who live in Hungary asked me to post about how I make my cards and also asked me to do it so in Hungarian. So sorry for those who can't speak Hungarian, but everybody will understand by the photoes.

Hát akkor... sok szeretettel köszöntök mindenkit az eslő magyar nyelvű bejegyzésemben. 

Ezt az üdvözlő lapot két kihívásba fogom benevezni: Passion for Promarkers és Sketch Saturday. A következőknek kellett megfeleni:

Passion for Promarkers: két szín: Baby Pink és Tulip Yellow; és legyen a lapodon varrás (akár csak rajzolt is)

Sketch Saturday: egy vázlatot kellett követni, íme:

Az én elképzelésemben a vázlat 90 fokkal elfordult,  a kicsi elemek alulra és a pecsételt kép felülre kerültek.

Kiválasztottam a papírokat és a pecsétet. Fekete tintával fehér papírra pecsételtem (300gos súlyú fehér papír).

 

 Ezután magamhoz vettem a Promarker filceimet és elkezdtem színezni, így nézett ki színezés után:

Ezután a mintás papírokat felvagdostam a kívánt méretűre. ez volt az első eset, hogy pontosan tudtam, hogy mekkora "szeleteket" vágok, mert normálban csak ránézésre méretezek, nem törődök a pontos számokkal.

Miután ezzel megvoltam az egyes darabok széleit tintával színeztem, hogy jobban kirajzolódjanak a szélek, amikor egymásra rétegezem őket. Egy barna és egy rózsaszínes tintát használtam.

 

Miután megszáradtak (pár perc) elkezdtem őket felragasztani a háttér papírra. Amikor mindent felragasztottam, akkor egy hegyes eszközzel lukakat szúrkáltam a képem felső sarkához. Ezeken a lukakon keresztül fűztem sárga hímzőfonalat, és így kész is lett a varrás.

Mivel úgy gondoltam, hogy lehetne még díszítés ezért fehér zselés tollal dupla varrást rajzoltam a háttérpapírra. A kép sarkába illesztettem egy papírvirágot, aminek a közepébe egy gyöngy tetjeű miltonkapcsot tettem.Felragasztottam a fehér üdvözlőlapra és voila! Már csak az üzenetet kell a kicsi zöld négyzetbe helyezni és kész is van.

A végeredményt a egy következő bejegyzésben láthatjátok.

Remélem tetszett, köszi, hogy itt jártatok,

First layout on my blog

At Simon Says Stamps Challenge Blog this week the theme is "Vintage with Flowers". I got inspired by the DT's creations and decided to make a scrapbook layout. I haven't done any for months, cos I had no inspiration.I found this sketch to follow.

This is the blog where I found it, isn't it lovely.

This is how it turned out:

 

I used different brands of paper, beacuse I didn't have the whole set of them, so K&Co,  Basic Grey, and Core'dination. I have distressed the edges and inked them with brushed corduroy. Here and there I painted a bit of crackle paint in picket fence colour, so make it like white washed.

 

I saw a great idea on Jane's blog the other day. She used corrugated paper painted with the same crackle paint. In the local hobby shop there was no corrugated paper, so I recycled some cardboard which came with my new chest of drawers from IKEA. I'll have place for my punches, Cuttlebug and so on LOL!! And as soon as I tided up, I will show my upgraded craft corner ( It might take a few weeks LOL).

Back to the layout I also stuck a beautiful piece of lace over the recycled paper, just to follow the sketch.

The swirls is from Tim Holtz grunge board elements, painted with crackle paint, sponged over with some shabby shutters distress ink, and even put a few dots of stickles in the same colour. Sorry for the photo, it's blurred, but it will do.

And finally the flowers. As you can see not all of them are from Prima. The large brown ones are from Papermania and they are made from silk. I placed pearly brads and pearl in the middle.

I am also entering this layout to ' A spoon full of sugar' Challenge blog.

I hope everybody had a lovely crafty weekend, thanks for stopping by.

Just Magnolia Challenge - Sketch by Jay Jay

I am so busy this week, I could hardly find the time to post the cards I have made during the weekend. But today things are getting back to normal, so I can do a bit of blogging (this is my second post LOL )

I am entering a card to Just Magnolia Challenge, where Jay Jay gave us a sketch to follow. 

I got stamped Tilda image from Mina at the class last week, and I coloured her in with Distress Inks, using the freshly gained knowledge LOL. I am quite happy with the result (if Idon't see her sleeves, cos I couldn't blend the colours so it became relatively bright) Papers are from Papermania Capsule Collection. I made the elements to overlap on each other after punching the edge with the MS Double Loops edger punch. I have stamped swirls around the image and stickled them, did the same with the swirl in the corner. The sentiment I printed from computer, inked the edges with brushed corduroy, it means: "just a bunch of flowers". Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves I punched with my Woodware punch.

I hope you liked it, thanks for looking,

Lucky me!

I didn't expect in the morning when I woke up that this would be such a beautiful day. As usually I got my coffee and sat in front of my laptop. And...... WOW I won the goodie bag at The Sugar Bowl Challenge. It really made my day, I was so happy (and still am). Can't wait to open the package. Thanks for Funky Kits who offered the prize!!

Whiff of Joy Challenge #67+ Friday Sketchers Challenge Week 90

This is another chapter cover of the recipe book I am working on at the moment (slowly, very slowly hahaha).
I used Melinda blowing kisses image, coloured it with Promarkers. DP is the same MME Oh-lal-la pack still love it, I followed a Friday Sketchers sketch, which was simple enough (not too many layering ) to fit my project.

Like usually I distressed the edges with the brilliant distress tool and inked them after. I stamped some swirls around the image with tattered rose and stickles them. The sentiment is made by me, I tried to copy the hearts from the image. "Csak szerelmeseknek" - means 'only for lovers'. The flower is from Prima and I placed one flat back pearl in the middle.

Monday morning

Good morning! It's me again. I have a bit of a backlog in posting, because I was so busy doing the recipe book ( I posted the cover earlier) and upgrading my craft corner so I didn't get to posting.

The first thing I show today is the card we made on Thursday, at Mina's class which was absolutely fab. Here it is:

I like painting with distress ink, I like that blending the colours is so easy. The colours we used: tattered rose, worn lipstick, antique linen and brushed corduroy.

Unfortunately I have to go to work now, so when I come back I will go on with posting.

Thanks for looking,

Anyone for Anya + Sketch Saturday

Happy Friday Morning!

Yesterday the class with Mina was absolutely lovely, and I am just so happy that I learnt a bit of colouring with distress Inks. I will use this technique again. I'll be back later to show the card we made.

Here is a card I made following the sketch on Sketch Staurday using an Greeting Farm Image, cos I'like to enter it to Anyone For Anya Challenge where the theme is: Flower Power. Here it is:

I just loved the sketch, especially the three little elements above each other. For coloring I used my Promarkers, the paper is MME Spring 2010 ( it was free with a magazine).

I am also entering this to two other Challenges:
Passion for Promarkers
Crafty Angels

I hope you liked it, thanks for stopping by,
