Color Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Hi guys,
another week ahead of us at Addicted to Stamps and More!  This time we have a color challenge for you -you don't have to use these exact colors, something close will do! You can add neutral colors like white and kraft to your project too. I colored the beautiful La Blanche sunflower stamp with my Copics and after coloring I sliced the image in three parts. I was inspired by my older card here where the flower had the same operation! :) It's fun to compare how images have different moods when they are colored differently -the same sunflower looks a lot more cheerful in my card here with some orange hues in the petals and brighter green on the leaves -but I like this more earthy look too!

By the way, the photo is crooked, everything is nice and straight in real life! I took this photo just before leaving town for some travels and by the time I was so to speak on the road and downloaded the photos to my laptop, there was nothing to be done. :)

I'd love to see you joining in our color challenge! There's plenty of fab DT inspiration on how to use the colors in the challenge blog. We are happy to have Nicecrane Designs as our sponsor again. Do visit Ignacio's fabulous shop full of collage sheets, digi stamps and much more!

Photo Inspiration at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Hi everyone,
we have another wonderful challenge for you at Addictes to Stamps and More, it's photo inspiration week! I really like the photo our wonderful leader Kylie has chosen for us -autumn is my favorite season so I love all autumn related things! I focused on the colors of the photo and also to the fact that harvest time is also time for sunflowers and they are just so so beautiful I think! I couldn't resist this LaBlanche stamp when I saw it some weeks ago. Stamped images like this one with lots of ready shading are really simple to color and give stunning results easily. That is just great for me because I've been having some time managing issues, clean and simple suits me just perfectly at the moment! Actually, this card will fit well to our sister challenge blog Addicted to CAS, the code word there is "Autumn".

I hope you'll now head on over to the challenge blog for the rest of the DT creations -ATSM girls never fail to impress me with their cards and I'm sure you'll love their work too! All the challenge details can be found in the blog  -we are happy to have Nicecrane Designs sponsoring us again. Happy crafting!

Heippa, pikapostaus vain, yritän tässä kirjata blogiani tuonne Blogloviniin ja piti saada uusi postaus aikaiseksi koodin syöttöä varten -katsotaan nyt onnistuinko... Tämän kortin kuva on ollut luonnoksissani jo iät ja ajat, suunnittelin tätä miespuoliselle työkaverille, mutta lopulta kortista ei tullutkaan kovin maskuliininen. Kauniita unia kaverit ja palataan tähän bloglovin-asiaan tuonnempana...

Hi friends,
just a super quick post, I needed something to post for claiming my blog for Bloglovin -let's see if I was able to do it and let's talk more about it later. :) This card was originally intended for my male colleague at work but in the end it wasn't masculine enough... It was fun to make anyway! Good night for now!

Addicted to Stamps!

Tällä viikolla Addicted To Stamps And More haasteessa ollaan kirjaimellisesti addiktoiduttu leimasimiin, haastena kun on käyttää leimasimia. :) Leimasimia meillä monilla tuntuu olevan kaapit pullollaan joten haasteeseen mukaan vain! Sponsorimme on Inspired by Stamping, voittaja saa lahjakortin tähän i-ha-naan putiikkiin. Kurkkaapas linkistä muiden DT-ladyjen kortit, ovat häikäisevän kauniita, huh huh!

Crafty Individualsin naiset pääsivät korttiini ensi kertaa vaan eivät varmasti viimeistä -todella kaunis leimakuva! Oranssisävyinen kartonki on itse tehtyä, suihkin menemään useammalla Stardust Mist- suihkeella, luonnossa kortti kimaltelee ja helmeilee todella kauniisti. Taustalle leimailin La Blanchen tekstileimasimella ja ainoina lisäkoristeina ovat pitsi ja nauha. Aika simppeli kortti, mutta runsaan oloinen minusta kuitenkin. Askartelun iloa ja mukavaa viikon jatkoa sinulle!

Time for Addicted To Stamps And More! Above is my DT card for this week: we want to see you use stamps in your craft projects! An easy week for all us stamp lovers -or should I say addicts. :) We are sponsored by Inspired by Stamping, our winner will receive a gift card to this amazing store. Please head over to the challenge blog for all the details -you will be stunned by the other DT cards, amazing cards from those lovely ladies!

The stamp I've used for my focal image is by Crafty Individuals, I think those girls are so beautiful. I made the yellow-orange cardstock myself by having fun with Stardust mists -the card has a beautiful shine IRL, it's a shame it doesn't show in the photo. I did some background stamping with a text stamp from La Blance and added lace and ribbon to finish off the card -not too many embellishments but I think the card looks pretty full anyway. I hope you'll join our Stamps Challenge, I love visiting everybody's blogs, happy crafting!
