Such A Cutie - lo

It's Friday again, and in means a new challenge at Frosted Desgins. This week the theme is "Butterflies and/or Birds".
And there is also a new challenge at Simply Create, a bi-weekly challenge, which is "Metal". And we have a lovely sponsor for this challenge:

Dude Time Doodles

My inspiration for the color combo came from the table decoration we had for Passover'd dinner at the begining of this week. Here's some photos of the table:

In real, it was more cream than white... Did you see the blue flowers in the wine glasses? I've made them :).

I used the great sketch from ScrapwithV:

I loved this sketch! Layers and lots of embellishments.


Here're some close-ups:

Thanks for taking the time and visiting my blog, and have a lovely weekend!

דף מעוצב לאתגר של ציפורים ו/או פרפרים ב-Frosted Designs, ואתגר "מטאלי" ב-Simply Create.

את ההשראה לצבעים לקחתי משולחן הסדר המעוטר. במציאות הצבע הבהיר היה יותר שמנת מאשר לבן. את הפרחים בתוך גביעי היין הכנתי בעצמי. ומהשארית של הראנר על השולחן הכנתי גם את הפרחים הכחולים בדף עצמו.

בדף הזה יש שכבות, סרטים, תחרה, המון פרחים, חותמות של ציפורים, פינצ'וצ'ים של פרפרים, כפתורים, פינות מתכת ומלא דיסטרסינג.
והשבוע יש גם פרס ממש שווה ב-Frosted Designs - קיט מלא כל טוב. הלוואי ויכולתי להשתתף באתגר כדי לזכות בו... 

תודה על תשומת הלב, חג שמח וסופ"ש אביבי נפלא!

זו תמונה שלי ביום ההולדת הרביעי שלי בגן.

השתמשתי במפיות תחרה (למסיכה ולמאטינג של התמונה), אותיות מלבד, פרחי פרימה, פרחי קרושה, פרחים מסרט משי, סרטים, תחרה, כפתורים, פנינים וסיכות מתפצלות.

ההחתמות האדומות נעשו עם צבע אקרילי בעזרת תחתית של בקבוק קטן ופקק שעם של בקבוק יין.

תודה שנכנסתן להסתכל!

The Way They Were - Layout

This lo is about a young couple, my dear parents. The photo was taken a short period after they got married, and as my mom says: before she even conceived my eldest sister...

My dear Dad had passed 13 years ago and I miss him a lot. My kids know him only by stories and photos.

I think this particular photo is so so romantic. I love the way my dad looks at my mom, and the gentle touch between them. I printed the photos in sepia colors, and in 2 different sizes. I've put the small ones from both sides of the larger, each with only one of my parents, so it symbolizes the fact that a couple is made out of two individuals.

I love the chain of flowers and buttons around the photos, as if it embraces them. It also goes nicely with the frame made of doily and the circular title, that says in Hebrew: "that's how it all begun"

The chipboard in the lower part was inked on the edges with distress ink, the same one I used for all the distressing over the lo - tea dye. The sentiment is rub-ons and it states the place & date the photo was taken.

Take a look at these two lovely flowers: both are selfmade. The larger was made out of a lace ribbon, and the smaller was made out of leftover stripes of this lo's dp - not throwing anything...

Speaking of no throwing anything, the title chipboard was made out of used cereal box and the letters were inked with distress ink. Recycling, isn't it?...

Did you notice the cute little rose on the corner? it was made with mask technique. I love how it came out.

בדף המעוצב הזה שמתי תמונה של הורי, זמן קצר לאחר חתונתם ובטרם נולדו הילדים - זוג צעיר מאוהב. אבי נפטר לפני למעלה מ-13 שנים ואני מאד מתגעגעת אליו. הילדים שלי מכירים אותו רק מתמונות ומסיפורים.

את התמונה הדפסתי בשני גדלים שונים וצבעתי אותה בצבעי ספיה, להעצים את המראה המיושן של התמונה. הדבקתי את התמונות הקטנות משני הצדדים של התמונה הגדולה כדי להדגיש את המסר שזוג נוצר משני אנשים נפרדים.

יש בדף הזה מיחזור - הכותרת עשויה מקרטון של קופסת קורנפלקס, ויש גם פרחים מעשה ידי, הקטן מביניהם עשוי מרצועות שנותרו כשאריות מהדף המדוגם ששימש בסיס כאן.

אני אוהבת את האופן שבו שרשרת הפרחים והכפתורים יוצרת מעין חיבוק לתמונות. היא גם משתלבת יפה עם המעגליות של מפית התחרה והכותרת המעגלית.

הורד העדין בפינה השמאלית התחתונה הוחתם בשיטת המסיכה, לפחות השיטה הפשוטה מבין אלו שקיימות.

אני אוהבת את המראה הוינטאג'י הרך של הדף הזה.

תודה שבאתם להסתכל! אל תשכחו לקפוץ גם מחר, אני אמורה להעלות את המיני קנדי שלי.....

It's all about lace... and about love

I decided to try the sketch over mojo monday, and this is my take on it.

I used peach & craft cs, white & pink & certainly celery doilies. I've made the lace flower in the center out of lace ribbon - I sewed over and then I pulled the thread till it became round and I shaped it into a flower and then I stitched over the pink and bashful blue buttons.

I punched pink & craft cs with MS lace punch and adhered them one on top of the other. the two flowers on the right side are BG circles from June Bug favour bag kit , that I just crumpled a bit and adhered flower buttons.

I distressed the edges of the dp by tearing and distress ink and I also inked the pink doily's edges. I stitched all around the dp with two threads - brown and pink (it is hard to see it because they're so thin. next time I should buy me more thick threads). I did some paper piercing on the peach cs, so both of them give a frame to the whole card.

I added big yellow/cream rose with tulle and a few gold and cream tiny silk ribbon roses. On top of the centered flower, I added a silver pin with tiny blue beads, and some shimering pink pearls on the laced cs.

Well, it sure isn't a CAS card... LOL , but I've made it to a very dear and loved lady, who celebrates a big birhday real soon. I only hope that she will not read my blog the next few days, so this card will surprize her on her B-day...
