Santa Lucia 2013 - last LO by DT Zanka

Hello Inkido friends!
This is my last post as a member of Inkido DT 2013.
Thank you all for this great year together - with a lot of fun, inspiration and warmth in Inkido family. I'm sure it will get even better next year, with the amazing new Design Team 2014!

I'm saying good bye with a layout showcasing an important December Swedish tradition - Santa Lucia day.
I have used a mix of traditional Christmas collection to capture the feel of this moment.

Take care everyone, stay happy and creative!
Hope to see you around :)

Vintage Christmas with a twist by DT Zanka

Hello Inkido fans!
Christmas is coming closer and closer, so this might be one of the last cards I'm sharing for this season :)
Vintage Christmas with Inkido- a twist I did here is that I've been  using mainly non-Christmas collections ;) Do you recognise Beautiful Memories?  How do you like it in this context?

Have fun trying some new ideas with Inkido!

Angelic and shabby - with DT Zanka

Hello Inkido fans!

This season's Christmas creations seem to be going towards shabby style for my part :)
Another card today with the pink, sage and vintage brows which I picked across different Inkido lines.
'Happy Christmas'  the collection name is my favorite sentiment this year with the perfect size and beautiful font type.

Thanks for stopping by!

CSI # 93 by DT Zanka

Hello Friends!
As you have surely seen, this month Inkido is sponsoring a fantastic challenge blog Color Stories Inspiration CSI and our DT is appearing there as guest designers.
As a matter of fact, I'm a retired CSI detective, so I've put aside my golf bag and the gardening (or whatever it is the retired detectives do :)
I rolled up my sleeves and came back to investigate a tough case filed as # 93.
Eventually I came up with a funky, joyful story about my daughter struggling to learn inlines skating :)

Here's the CSI file

My evidence:

pinwheel
checked pattern
mixed media background
text pattern
string
My testimony:
I documented daring -  efforts to learn skating

That's all from me for today.
Don't forget about our current challenge, a scraplift! You will find loads of inpiration in the Inkido projects, I can promise you that :)

Children in focus - by DT Zanka

Hello friends!
DT Zanka here, sharing today 2 Inkido projects where children truly are in focus :)
The first project is a layout which I prepared earlier this week, following the colour palette and a sketch from The Color Room (palete # 159)

Because I went for the dark background, I decided to lighten it up, adding some stencil and stamping. For stamping I used white dabber and Map of Sweden - yes!!! A tiny, unusual stamp that makes this beautiful crackle pattern ;)
The beautiful big rose is my fave and I use it over and over again. This is a piece from a collage stamp. I have couple of them always ready, stamped and cut out, just waiting to stick here and there :)
I also love the flower images in Beige Flowers paper, they are perfect for fussy cut and a great 'filler' in any flower cluster.

The second project goes towards light and angelic - it's a card for the baptise ceremony.
Here I used the papers from Beautiful Memories, both the 1st and the 2nd collection.

Thank you for stopping by today!
I will be back in October and present Inkido's October challenge! It's gonna be fun, stay tuned :)

Romantic layered card - by DT Zanka

Hello Inkido fans!
We'd love to see you playing with our challenge in September, hosted by Sabrina.

I thought it was a great way to start my September Inkido's projects :)
I saved all scraps of different beautiful collections that I have used earlier, which is just what I needed to play with Sabrina's challenge :) They are perfect for layers.

I made a card, layering few pieces of different Inkido's collections. I wanted to go romantic style and I would love to add a rectangular doily - instead I punched a piece of vellum with the border punch, creating a shabby worned out layer between the papers.
Inkido has a variety of beautiful flower stamps - I love the rose collage which I stamped  4 times on creme cardstock and cut out the roses to create a stamped bouquet.
I have added few additional pieces of diecuts from Inkido papers to add even more volume and airy layers.

Thank you for stopping by!
