And again time for card challenges. First a card for Jehkotar Card Challenge where this time was so challenging sketch that for a moment I thought that I can't figure anything out of it but then I had an idea. Thank you for Oliveria for the interesting sketch!

Round shapes, ovals especially, are problematic to me since I don't own Cuttlebug or anything as such so I just decided to round the corners of rectangular pieces. I'm now trying to learn to use my different colour ink pads and while making this card I realised that with those it is easy to give nice finished look for the card when you use the same ink whenever it is possible to use. Here I used the same green ink in text, stamping the flourishes on top corners of the pictures, in the edges of background papers, pictures and the text. I even added the same ink on flowers. Pure luck that I found matching flowers and ribbon, I didn't check that before I started making the card... Natural white is definately very handy card stock to use! White is often too bright and with coloured ones you should always have the exactly matching colour else the result would be quite weird. And that of course means, that you should have tens of different colours of those. As I'm sometimes a bit stingy, it doesn't feel right that first I cover the whole card with one paper and then add other papers on top of it. Also the problem is that some background papers have so distinctive patterns that it is almost impossible to find other matching papers.
Joka tapauksessa, tähän korttiin olen todella tyytyväinen! Ideana kortissa on, että sen voi antaa jollekin joka täyttää pyöreitä vuosia, korttiin täytyy vain lisätä oikeat numerot sen mukaan kenelle se lopulta päätyy.
Anyway I'm really satisfied with this card! The idea is that it could be given to someone who turns to 30, 40, 50 etc, just have to add the correct numbers for the signs.
Ja seuraavaan haasteeseen... Cute card thursday:n haasteena oli tehdä kortti jossa on jouluaiheinen eläin. Tähän päätinkin kokeilla heti askartelukirppikseltä ostamaani lintuleimasinta. Kortti on melko yksinkertainen, kuten aiemmatkin joulukorttini, ihan siitä syystä, että kortit tulevat pääosin omaan käyttööni ja suurin osa korttien saajista tuskin niitä säilöö mihinkään. Parille kaverille joiden tiedän pitävän käsintehdyistä korteista laitan kortit joiden kanssa olen nähnyt vähän enemmän vaivaa. :)
And onto the next one... In Cute card thursday the challenge was to make a card with Christmas animal. I decided to use my new birdstamp for this one. The card is quite simple, as are my other Christmas cards, simply because I'm not going to sell them, just send them myself and I know that most people who are going to get those won't be saving them so it doesn't really make any sens to use too much effort for them. I have couple friends though who I know that I like the handmade cards and are going to save those, for them I will send cards with a bit more effort. :)

Lumihiutaleet on leimattu korttipohjaan vesileimamusteella.
The snow flakes are stamped with watermark ink.
Lopuksi vielä Dutch Dare Challenge:n kortti. Aiheena oli tehdä kortti jossa on villieläimen kuva ja päätin tehdä tämänkin askartelukirppikseltä ostamallani hauskalla leimalla:
And finally card for Dutch Dare Challenge. The challenge was to make a card showing wild animals and for this also I used my new stamp:

The picture itself is so big that it doesn't really need anything too much around it and I ended up stamping some branches directly on the card with watermark ink. I think the result is quite ok and this card might go for my grandpa as fathers' day card, we will see. :)

Monta hieno korttia! Hauska leimakuva tuossa alimmaisessa :)
:) Hienoja! Tuo Jehkon malli näyttää tosella haastavalta, en ole vielä edes ehtinyt ajatella...
Joskus kun ennättäisin ajella sinnepäin, niin myös tuota alimmaista tulisin leimaamaan :)
