Katherine, kiss me...

Njih dvoje kao da su pali u zaborav kod mene, sve dok ih nedavno iz sna nije probudila moja sestra, poželjevši baš njih za čestitku za vjenčanje. Meni su oni tako slatki... Ispali sa stranica neke ljubavne priče, iz nekih davnih vremena kada se romantika uzvisivala na pijedestal. Shabby, pastelni tonovi papira razbijeni točkicama i moje najdraže kombinacije boja vodile su me do kraja.
Strašno mi se sviđaju trešnjini cvjetovi  u dva tona, koje sam si priuštila kod posljednje nabave materijala. Ponovno sam izvukla i perlice - totalno zaboravljene i zanemarene zbog blještavila Pretty Pink Posh šljokica. Ups... Trebala bi ih koristiti više.
Sve u svemu, jedna neuobičajena čestitka povodom vjenčanja, razveselila je novopečeni bračni par, kako čujem i zbog toga mi je srce veliko kao kuća!

Anđeoska igra

Danas sam u planu imala podijeliti s vama jednu sasvim drugu vintage čestitku, ali onda sam naišla na ovu. Nisam sigurna osjećam li se zbog ovog vremena vani malo tamno ili mi samo treba anđeoske podrške da prođem kroz narednih nekoliko napetih tjedana čim smirenije. Kako god bilo, izvlačim iz arhive ove divne vintage anđele u nekom ljubičastom podtonu za sebe, ali i za vas.
Odavno nisam radila ništa vintage, pogotovo ne ovako tamno. Ne znam koji je razlog toga da mi se ti starinski ukrasi doimaju "teškima" ali veselim se sve češće šarenim čestitkama i šljokicama. :)
Iskreno se nadam da ću se uskoro ponovno primiti markera, te objaviti neku čestitku koju sam ručno bojala, no dotad vas ostavljam u ovoj meditaciji. :)

Volim te

Crafting By Designs ima novu temu ovoga tjedna i to su: Hats, hats, hats! Dobro... Nije baš u prvom planu, ali tu je. :) Sponzor je Rick St. Dennis koji za nagradu nudi dvije digi ilustracije.

Obožavam ovaj par, ali moram priznati da mi već ponestaje inspiracije za kombinacijom boja na njihovoj odjeći. Čini mi se kao da sam već sve dobre iskoristila. Hm... Možda sad krenem ispočetka, pa u krug. :) My Mind's Eye Heirloom papiri savršeni su mi za čestitke s ljubavnom tematikom i volim ih kombinirati. 

Upotrijebila sam perle iz zalihe i razbacala ih zaigrano oko motiva ali i posljednje komadiće fora ogradice, koju sam primila na poklon od Franz. Nisam pretjerivala s cvijećem ovog puta, a najdraži detalj mi je sentiment - način na koji je otisnut čini da izgleda lagano izblijedjelo i uklapa se u sveopći starinski izgled. :)

Hm. Puno previše koristim smajliće u postovima. Možda bi trebala smanjiti malo. :) :) :)

Zapečaćeno poljupcem

Svaki put kada ga bojam sve mi je draži - Ragged Romeo Mo Manning. A postao mi je i no.1 pečat za vjenčanja. :) 
Obožavam ove nove Santoro Mirabelle papire u toj mjeri da sam ih naručila još. ... I još! Nestrpljivo ih očekujem ovih dana, te ću onda imati sva tri njihova dizajnerska paketa - woohoo!
Ovaj vintage brad do boli je predugo sjedio u zalihi. Doduše, perla u sredini bila je jako pink, pa sam ju zamijenila blažom varijantom, kako bi se uklopila među pastelne tonove. Jako sam zadovoljna bojom njegovog odijela, a i činjenicom da sam iskoristila još jednu od ovih scallop edge baza, jer njih najmanje koristim i vječno stoje među ostalima čekajući svojih pet minuta! :)
Ilustracija je bojana Spectrum Noit markerima, kao i uvijek!

Jedna cvjetna haljina

Ovo ljupko ADFD "Picked Bouquet" lice ponovno je došlo na red! Ovoga puta okušala sam se ponovno i u paper piecingu, jer mi neopisivo dražesno izgleda na njihovim ilustracijama. Na putu do gotove kartoline bilo je brdo nedoumica, neodlučnosti, kombiniranja, pretjerivanja, pojednostavljivanja... Čini mi se da mi više vremena oduzimaju CAS čestitke od ovih drugih. :)
Sviđa mi se ova kombinacija boja. Iako u posljednje vrijeme uživam u življim bojama, kratki izlet u pastelne tonove baš mi je dobro sjeo.

Ona i On

Nedavno sam otkrila She & Him albume na Youtbe-u i još sam uvijek pod utjecajem. Zanimljivi, sirovi, iskreni Deschanel and Ward... Ako nađete vremena dajte im šansu. :)
Ragged Romeo Mo Manning i ja u potrazi za nekim novim kombinacijama boja. Na ovu me inspirirala paleta boja i fotografija na House of cards blogu. Bež, breskva i roza ruku pod ruku... Ček, što?? Nepoznato me uvijek izbezumljuje, ali na kraju sam baš zadovoljna kako je ispalo. I tko kaže da dečki uvijek moraju biti u nečem tamnom? Živile boje! :)
Koristila sam puno toga iz zalihe, a nove igračke su mi Small Love You Craft Dies i ograda koju sam dobila na poklon od fantastične Franz, zajedno s ovom odličnom čestitkom, kojom mi je uljepšala dan! Hvala ti! :)

Alternativni Božić

Alternativna božićna Kartolina uz The Oval Portrait iz SBS Steampunk Collectiona. Kako vam se čini? Ovo je posljednja ovogodišnja čestitka za Božić - približava se vrijeme za malo odmora. :)
Ovo je svojevrsni odgovor na predivan rad talentirane
Laile Ånesland s Castle in the Skies bloga. Toliko sam se zaljubila u njenu čestitku pod nazivom Alternative Christmas, da smo se povezale mailom i odlučile na razmjenu božićnih čestitki! Zamisli oduševljenja!
Kako već duže vrijeme pikiram SBS Steampunk pečate, ovo je bio samo dobar izgovor da si priuštim jednog. :)
Zadovoljna svojim konačnim radom odlučila sam si pribaviti barem još jednog u skoroj budućnosti. A točno znam i kome ću ga namijeniti. ;)
