A card to illustrate the June challenge

Hello  everyone !

How flies the time ! June is already here, and it's already time for a new challenge with a new moddboard. Here is our new moodboard, with which we can be guided to create any project  :

What are you thinking when you look at this picture?  I immediately saw these old pages from old books, all yellowed by time. 

You all have any old books at home? Well, now is the opportunity to get out these old things  !

This time, I wanted to create a card for any occasion.
I thought this color  of old paper, light brown, accorded well with light beige, yellow, cream. I also added a lot of white on my card because I wanted a very sweet card.
Small roses from Papercraftscandinavia are really great for cards, because they are small, and we always get them easily on the cards.

I used a stamp, flower + from  bird Papercraftscandinavia that I stamped in black, I cut out the floral pattern, and the bird, and I stuck them on  my card separately. This white background created a nice contrast with old paper, and it also adds a lot of sweetness, like this piece of small doily that I stuck on the edge of my card.

 I applied some gesso on my papers to unify all the card.

I hope you enjoy my card, and now, i can't wait to see your   next project based on our new moodboard, you have time, all the month to create it, so don't hesitate !

Supplies :

Chicken

Spring Sweetie

MEMORIES

Hi everyone !

It's already time for me to share my take for our new monthly challenge !! This month, our new moodboard  show us  pastels colors and i like it ! I 've inspired by these blue and yellow/cream in my layout. I've founf such colors in our new Spring Imr collection. I've also taken some papers from the latest collection , Beautiful Memories !

This time, i would some change in my style.Why  ? I don't know  !It comes somethimes that we need some change, and this time is coming !!! This layout is  more made in a clean and simple style.

You can  see that the sand color is here with this sheet from the Beautiful Memories collection :

I like  a lot this sheet, there is different tones of brown and cream. And the aqua/blue  is represent by the Sweet Angels from the Spring Time collection.  This is a great color !
For the backgroung sheet, i've used   the Springtime Children sheet  :

And i say you how i've obtained this result :  Across the page, I applied gesso, I spread with a credit card, and in some places, I left more designs appear below, so as to create irregular designs on the paper. We see a little dots, the designs are melted, and the result is very soft as I wanted.
This page is very easy to do, I hope you can also inspire us to submit your participation in our challenge! try your luck and perhaps win a lot of products papercraftscandinavia! You have the entire month to participate, I'm already looking forward to seeing your entries!

APRIL's challenge by Agnieszka Bellaidea OUR ROOTS

Hi!
It's Bellaidea today with a new challenge, OUR ROOTS.
Knowing we have participants from all over the world we can not wait to see your projects.
This time our Mood Board should just inspired you to use some interesting elements specific to your country.
Folk art, costumes, national decorations, anything like this and please don't forget to tell us about it!

I had several ideas what will I do for this challenge but since it's April and Easter coming I used the idea about very nice Polish tradition of painting /decorating eggs.

"There are many schools and techniques – some people paint them, others scratch or paste patterns on their surface, others still dye them in special extracts. But one thing has not changed for centuries – the tradition of decorating Easter eggs is alive and well all across Poland.

Easter eggs in Poland are commonly known as pisanki. These are usually chicken eggs covered with intricate decorations to look nice on Polish tables and in Polish homes during Easter. The name pisanki derives from the verb pisać which used to mean “draw” or “engrave patterns” (compare with Latin pictura). The first pisanki found by archaeologists in Poland date as far back as the 10^th century. Today, all decorated Easter eggs are called by this name, but there are different terms for the individual artistic techniques of making them.

Pisanki are created by drawing designs on egg shells with molten wax. Then, the eggs are dyed and the wax is removed, leaving a pattern on the surface. Lambs, crosses, flowers and other springtime motifs are the most popular symbols depicted on pisanki.

Kraszanki, also known as malowanki, are single-colour dyed eggs. To make the shells yellow and orange, you need to boil eggs in water with onion peels; brown hue will result from adding some oak bark; while dark hollyhock flower will give yourkraszanki a beautiful violet colour. Extracts of young rye, barley, grass or mistletoe leaves will dye your eggs green, and to get black colour use some alder bark. Eggs soaked in cornflower decoction will turn blue, in coffee – brown, in beetroot extract – dark red. In addition, there are plenty of chemical dyes available today.

Dyed eggs are traditionally covered with decorations, e.g. drawings made with a sharpened pin. Pisanki created this way are called skrobanki or drapanki. Eggs decorated with flower petals, pieces of cloth or paper cuttings are oklejanki andnalepianki, while those with their contents removed and shells painted are known as ażurki.

The Rev. Krzysztof Kluka Museum of Agriculture in Ciechanowiec (Podlasie region) houses Poland’s biggest collection of Easter eggs: close to two thousand pisanki from Poland and across the world. Apart from chicken or goose eggs, the Museum boasts artefacts made from penguin and seagull eggs, as well as minute hummingbird and giant ostrich eggs. The museum collection is based on over a thousand exhibits donated by Irena Stasiewicz-Jasiukowa and Jerzy Jasiuk from Warsaw, who spent thirty years collecting and cataloguing Easter eggs from across the country.

The was a time in my life I was very busy with ostrich eggs too :).
For my page I used eggs chipboards and flowers from friendly company from Poland, Wycinanka. Very Polish accent!

Beautiful memories collection and stamps from Inkido were used to create my page.
