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.

Skoraj vsi odtisi štampiljk so obkroženi in malo spremenjeni s črnim markerjem, tako, da izgledajo kot skice….kolaž meri približno 14 x 20 cm.....
----------------------------------------------------
Products used: vintage book page, paper leftovers, pieces of packaging, flowers sketches (I would like to learn to draw, so I practice a little bit), Tim Holtz and Maureen Blackman – Stampington stamps, polka dot washi tape, little wooden frame (in fact is broken pendant)

Colouring my World


Pozdravljene...nov mesec in čas za nov izziv pri Our Creative Corner...ta mesec je izziv pripravila Laurie in izbrala je Obarvaj svoj svet / Color your World...pomlad je lahko drugačna na različnih koncih sveta...Laurie želi, da v svojem izdelku pokažete barve pomladi iz vašega konca sveta...
-------------------------------------------------

Hello friends…new month and time for new challenge at Our Creative Corner…this month host is Laurie and she would like to see spring colours...here is how Laurie described her challenge:


Color your World


Here in the United States we are coming into spring - the season when nature comes forth with new life.

Soft green grasses grow in the fields and the trees bloom in glorious colors with the promise of fruit.

Tulips and daffodils emerge from the soil after a long winters nap.

The colors of spring, the sights and sounds of nature at this time of the year renews my soul.

In the spring time the colors of nature are different around the world.

For my challenge this month I want you to

Color Your World

For this challenge create a project with the colors of spring time where you live.

Show us what colors renew your soul.

Tukaj, kjer jaz živim, pomlad počasi prihaja, vendar o barvah še ni sledu...amapak, ko pomislim na pomlad, vidim cvetove Magnolije v roza-vijoličnih odtenkih, rumeno sonce, modro nebo in zeleno travo....za korak iz ustaljenih barvnih okvirjev, sem v pomladne barve "oblekla" igralne karte....
------------------------------------

Here where I live is spring on the way, but with not much colours right now...but when I think about spring, I see Magnolia flowers in pink and purple hues, yellow sun, clear blue sky and green grass... I took step out of my comfortable colour zone and altered playing cards with bright spring colours....



Ker so bile karte nove in čisto preveč sijoče, sem najprej uporabila brusni papir. Dodala sem "tissue" papir in nanesla teksturno pasto. Z akvarelnimi barvicami sem dodala moje barve pomladi in nadaljevala s štempljanjem...
--------------------------------
Because cards were new and too shiny, I started with grinding  playing cards with sand paper.  Then I added tissue paper and texture paste. I coloured cards with watercolours and stamped....

Ker sem hotela, da je očitno, da so to igralne karte, sem nekaj kotov pustila nepokritih.....številke se še vidijo....
-------------------------
I wanted that is obviously that this are playing cards, so I didn’t cover all corners...numbers are still visible....

Nato sem začela z okraševanjem...uporabila sem plastične kapljice, cvetne prašnike....
------------------------
Then I decorated cards with different embellishments ...I used plastic drops, flower stamens....

...pobarvana kovinska kolesca in sukanec...
-------------------------------
...painted metal gears and thread...
...mikro perlice....
-----------------------
....micro beads....
...cvetne liste....
-------------------------
....flower petals....
... stare fotografije...
-----------------
...vintage images...(Vintage everyday, Just something I made)



...nekaj detajlov s črnim markerjem in škropljenja....
---------------------
...doodling here and there and some ink splatters....



Kako se vam zdi?...Upam, da ste dobile vsaj malo navdiha in se nam pridružite na Color your World izzivu...ne samo zaradi zabave, ampak tudi zaradi odlične priložnosti, da dobite darilni bon v vrednosti 25$ od našega čudovitega sponzorja Creative Embellishments....
------------------------------
What you think?....Well, hope you got some inspiration and will join us at Color your World challenge ...not just for fun, but also because of wonderful opportunity to win $25 gift certificate from our fabulous sponsor, Creative Embellishments....


Se vidimo....
See you....
