is our new theme for the next two weeks
As mainly working digitally, I tried to make now a simple handmade card. And that I did could be
given to a child with a gift, e.g.
I've a poor suply of graft materials but found still som from my ATC-cardmaking period.
So, the main image, the elephant with the bird, is a cut off from a magazine. I thought it's nice enough, and I chose other colours from the same colourcombo. I coloured the background with distress inks, used stamps and stencils, added some cut offs, washi tape and a piece of lace. So, here it is.
I think you don't need always planty of new material to make something. Look at first, what is on your stash, and sure there is something to use.
Our design team has made various fabulous projects. Take a look here, and you may get new ideas.
We look forward seeing what you have to show us.
Happy creating!

Pyydämme seuraavan kahden viikon aikana sinua
kokeilemaan jotain uutta.
Minä tein yksinkertaisen käsintehdyn kortin, jonka voi antaa esim. lapselle lahjan kera. Koska pääasiassa työskentelen digitaalisesti, paperiaskarteluun tarkoitettu tarpeistoni on hyvin suppea. Jotain vielä kuitenkin löytyy ATC-korttiharrastuksen ajoilta.
Korttini pääkuva, elefantti ja lintu, on lehtileike. Mielestäni sen värit ovat mukavat ja valitsin muutkin värit samasta skaalasta.
Väritin taustan distress-musteilla, käytin leimoja ja sabluunoita, lisäsin joitakin leikkeitä, washi-teippiä ja palan pitsiä.
Ja siinä se on. Ei aina tarvita uusia materiaaleja, vaan paras katsoa ensin, mitä löytyy työpöydältä. Ja varmasti siellä on jotain käyttökelpoista.
DT-tiimimme on tehnyt monenlaisia hienoja projekteja. Käyhän katsomassa täällä, ja saat ehkä uusia ideoita.
Odotamme innolla, mitä sinulla on näyttää meille.
Mukavia askarteluja!
