April Showers bring May Flowers

Pozdravljene "frendice"...ali lahko verjamete, da je že maj...čas tako hitro beži....
...danes bi vam rada pokazala izdelek narejen za naš novi izziv pri Our Creative Corner...Shari je gostiteljica ta mesec in izbrala je....


Shari želi videti izdelek, ki na kakršen koli način odraža spomladanski dež in/ali spomladanske cvetlice.....(za celoten prevod, prosim uporabi Google prevajalnik na desni strani bloga)....
Ker sem tako in tako nameravala narediti darilo za gospo, ki ima rada rožice, sem združila prijetno s koristnim in naredila male magnete....rožice v svetlih, pomladanskih barvah in kapljice dežja...zdi se, da barve rožic oživijo v vsaki kapljici jutranjega dežja....

Hello friends…can you believe it`s already May….gosh, how fast time passes by…
...today I would like  to share project made for our new challenge at Our Creative Corner…this month host is Shari and  she chose the theme….

...Or so the proverb goes.  Spring comes late in my neck of the world, in the mountains of Northern Idaho.  In the month of May (with Summer just weeks away), our Spring flowers are still, usually, under a thin blanket of snow, until those Spring rains wash it all away.
This month, the challenge is to create something, a mixed-media project, a journal page, a scrapbook page, a card or tag...Anything, that reflects the Spring rains and/or Spring flowers in your part of the world.
Now, I'm not going to nit-pic your choices of Spring flowers, as the growing season here where I live is short and our Spring flowers don't last very long before the blooms of Summer start budding.  So, if you throw in flowers of Summer into your creation, that's OK, too.
 I had to make gift for a lady who love flowers very much, so I decided to combine fun with useful…I made little magnets with flowers, which blooms in bright, spring colours…there you can also notice few drops of early morning rain.…the colours of the flowers seem to come alive in every drop….


Najprej sem zlepila skupaj dva lesena kotnika (ostanki slikarskih platen), da sem dobila malo hiško. Hiško sem pobarvala s črno akrilno barvo in nato še z belo. Robove sem pobrusila, da sem dobila starinski, obrabljen izgled. Na zadnjo stran sem prilepila magnete, prednjo stran pa okrasila s papirnimi rožicami, bleščicami in raznimi kovinskimi dodatki......
---------------------------------------------------------------
I started with gluing together two pieces of canvas corners, so I got a little house...I coloured it, first with black acrylic paint and then with white...edges are sanded , so I reached old, distressed look. I added strong magnets on the back...front is embellished with paper flowers, glitters, metal gears and tags...
Papirne rožice pokapane s črno tinto, žica in razni kovinski dodatki....
------------------------------------------------
Paper flowers sprinkled with black ink, wire and metal bits and pieces…
Plastične bleščice v ujemajoči se barvi...v moji domišljiji so to kapljice jutranjega dežja.....
---------------------------------------------------------
Plastic glitters in matching colour... in my imagination those are drops of early morning rain …
Kovinski "tag" je narejen iz pločevinke piva, poštempljan in pobarvan.....
------------------------------------------------
Metal tag is made of beer can, stamped and coloured…


No, kaj mislite o tehle? Ste mogoče dobile navdih za naš izziv? Res, vas toplo vabim, da se nam pridružite (tudi) ta mesec...kot običajno imamo lepe nagrade....mesto gostje na OCC ali pa čudovito nagrado našega sponzorja Designs By Ryn....

Me and you forever

Pozdravljene....danes sem prav počaščena, ker so me zopet povabili na Country View Crafts blog...v februarju so izbrali moj izdelek za Top 3 in prav vesela sem, da sem našla čas, da se jim danes pridružim...Sue D (aka Sue the Iron) je izbrala temo tega meseca....Uporabi Kraft kartico..."simpl ku pasulj"....kraft kartica se lahko uporabi na sto in en način....jaz sem jo predelala v imitacijo lesa in uporabila za ozadje na kolažu....
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hello dear friends….Today I am thrilled to be spotlighted at Country View Crafts blog again…I was chosen for top 3, back in February and I am very happy that I found time to join them at  this month challenge…Sue D (aka Sue the Iron) has chosen the theme and she said…Use Kraft card…..easy, peasy…kraft card can be used in so many ways…. I transformed it into faux wood background on my collage……..


Dodatki: ostanki različnih papirjev, perlice in posušeni cvet vrtnice
----------------------------
Embellishments: paper scraps, beads and dry rose petals

Tule so hitri koraki, kako narediti imitacijo lesa:
1. Nareži trakove iz Kraft kartice...enako široke, ampak različne dolžine...
2. Razporedi in prilepi trakove na kos papirja...
3. Uporabi velik, suh čopič, pomočen v belo akrilno barvo in narahlo podrgni čez Kraft kartico....
4. Z manjšim čopičem podrgni še okoli robov in spojev.....tako, da spoji postanejo bolj očitni.....

Uporabljeni materiali: Papermania Kraft kartica 280 gsm, bela akrilna barva, Tim Holtz Found Relatives (ozadje kartic je prečudovito, zato bi bila sramota jih ne uporabiti...olupila sem kartico in uporabila ozadje na kolažu), strani stare knjige in notnega črtovja, tissue papir, Sizzix tiny tabs & tags šablona, Prima leaf šablona, lesen krogec, perlice, cvet papirne rožice, posušen cvet vrtnice, sukanec, plastičen okvir, črn ink.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here are quick steps how to make faux wood background:
1. Cut the same width, but different length of Kraft card…
2. Arrange and glue the stripes on piece of paper…
3. Use a big, dry brush, dipped in white acrylic paint and lightly brush over the Kraft card…
4. With small brush go over the edges and joints….so them become more visible....

Products used: Papermania Kraft card 280 gsm, white acrylic paint, Tim Holtz Found Relatives (the back of the cards are also very beautiful… would be a shame not to use it…I peeled the back and used it in my collages, too), old book pages and music sheet, tissue paper, Sizzix tiny tabs & tags die, Prima leaf die, wooden circle, beads, paper flower petals, dry rose petal, thread, plastic frame, black ink.
