Bon voyage 3 card

This card was a winner for Germany challenge on Sisterhood of crafters- thanks!!

This is the 3 rd and not the last card from this "post cards" line.

I did it with Unscripted sketches #56 sketch for my DT job for this week and with the same concept as my France and USA cards- but for Germany..

Why Geramny? As there is a Germany challenge on the web this week and why not? I visited there for 3-4 times and loved the nature, the people and the beer (oh- not the food!!)

The most problem was to find something for this German things- I didn't find any stamps (I even have some for Australia- but no Germany at all)

So I did this hand drawn, hand cut , glittered and heat embossed beer glass and added some

" black forest " buttons and Berlin's wall (still there- but open..)

I also used Prima film tape , Ek castle metal pin and some ribbon here.

2-3 more postcards to go (I think England- Italy and China will do these line)

And as for the challenges:

Favorite drink- beer is the only alcohol I drink- so it's for Freshy brewed challenges

Germany for Sisterhood of crafters

Bon voyage 2 card

This card was publushed in SNR August 2010 issue

This card made TOP5 at Get sketchy challenge- thanks

This card is the second in the " line" of Bon voyage" card I decided to make- and this one is for USA travellers.

I used these red- blue- white flag colors, added some stars (brads and buttons)

It was done with the same pattern as the Paris one- the distressed ink cardstock as the base and Unity stamped postcard as the middle base with some focal point image on the top.

This one is pure masculine one- the colors, no flowers and all this girly ribbons, sparcles etc.

And these was done with Get sketchy sketch for some more challenges too

To my friend card

This card was featured today 5/21 on Impression Obsession stamps blog
This card was done as an experiment: no patterned paper card, 3 colors only, using background stamps to make some pattern, doing heart punched flower- just experimenting(all who knows me knows that I am not a card maker but a scrapper- I need space and lots and lots of layers and a huge title and some journaling- so card are just to try some techniques and than to take it to the pages.. )

But as always I found some challenges before I started and the first one was to do a card for a friend with IO stamps. I only have their 6*6 background ones- so I used 2 of them- leaves on black cardstock and heat embossing the white ink and than for the flower- with retro background and heat embossing too (colorbox white ink never dries)

I also used dry embossing folder with white cardstock and added some pearls on it (it was boring), cut a frame out of self made corrugated red paper with Spellbinders die and popped it with 3d foam glue dot. Then I did this flower with punched old book page, metal old tag, punched hearts and a brad. For the finish I used 2 Prima laces, one dotted ribbon, some cute buttons and a punched from a glitter cardstock tag. I was pretty out of my mojo for stamping the sentiment so I did it with small MM stickers.

I like the final result- also it's most probably will go for my own recycling- using the flower and the bow on the page- can't promise anything..

So now for the challenges:

IO stamp and for the friend card- for IO stamps challenge

Baby vintage card

This card was published in Feb 2011 issue of SNR magazine

Being in this " baby card" mood I did one pure vintage card - but baby themed

I used this very new Donna Salazar Paintable paper, cut a card from it, added some 3D glaze on a rose, inked with 3-4 kinds of distressed inks. Then I did a part with crackled glass technique and reinked it with brown ink and made a glass look over digi print of the baby. The hand made flower eas die cut with Spellbinders from old book and inked all around, heavy distress look was made all over the card

Chinese card

This card was done for Unscripted sketches # 45 sketch and I really loved this one a lot!! It also was done as my GDT job for " GO GREEN"(recycling) on RAISE THE BAR where I was choosen as a Guest bartender
This sketch is very versatile and you can do it with 3 folds too- but I did this doing pure
recycling as after I visited China I got lots of oriental items - envelopes, prospects etc.
So I added some heat embossing on this Chinese new year envelope and left it open on the upper side- for cash/ check or gits card to be inside.
The yellow side was cut and border punched from some museum plan, the tassel was from some gift box and the thread from some old packaging too
and I added some blings, brads,a flower and white pen stitching.
It is also great for some web challenges :
3 colors of 80-s - for Memory lane crop day 3 challenge
Sew simple for One stop craft
Recycled- for Spoon full of sugar
