Velikonočna košarica / Easter basket

Ta košarica je pravšnja za sladka velikonočna jajčka. Idejo sem si izposodila tukaj, le dimenzije sem uporabila večje, da lahko moja košarica sprejme več čokoladnih jajčk.

This basket is perfect for sweet Easter eggs. I have found the idea here, I only used bigger dimensions, so my basket can hold more chocolate eggs.

Nogometaš / Footballer

To voščilnico pa sem naredila za mojega nečaka, ki uživa v igranju nogometa. Motiv nogometaša sem našla na spletu in ga pobarvala s Promarkerji. V ozadje pa sem dodala razne dodatke, da naredijo celotni motiv bolj razigran. Sicer je vidljivost zelo slaba, ampak tokrat sem v ozadju poizkusila tudi Vladkino tehniko s čopičem in belo tempero - a ker sem imela pri roki zgolj akrilno belo barvo (in več kot očitno je bila ta nepokrivna), celoten efekt ni prišel najbolje do izraza.

I have made this card for my nephew, who enjoys playing football. I have found the footballer motif on the internet and coloured with Promarkers. I have added various additions and embellishments in the background, to make the card more vivacious. The visibility is a bit poor, but this time I wanted to try Vladka's technique in the background, with the brush and white tempera. However, I only had white acrilic colour at home (a transparent one) so the overall effect isn't visible very well.

Mavrična torta / Rainbow cake

Tale pa je še zadnja v seriji mavričnih voščilnic. Digi štampiljko sem našla na spletu in jo pobarvala s Promarkerji. Moram priznati, da sem v slaščičarnah že večkrat videla mavrično torto, vendar je še nikoli nisem poizkusila. Morda zgolj zaradi predsodka, da so vse te barve umetne, morda pa le zato, ker je moj pogled zaneslo k slastni čokoladi ali sladkim jagodam. Kdo ve.

*****

This is the last card in the rainbow cards series. I have found the digi stamp online and coloured it with Promarkers. I have to admit, that I have often seen the rainbow cake in the cake shops, but never gave it a try. Maybe because of the prejudice that all those colours are artificial, or maybe just because I was enchanted by delicious chocolate or sweet strawberries nearby. Who knows.

Samorog / Unicorn

Slednja voščilnica je pravljična. Mali samorog skače čez mavrico in nam pravi, naj nikoli ne nehamo sanjati. Motiv samoroga sem našla na spletu in ga pobarvala s Promarkerji, ter mu na grivo in repek dodala še malce bleščic. Za mavrico sem uporabila Tinino šablono, ker pa nimam šablon za prave oblake, sem le-te imitirala s pomočjo ovalnih šablon.

*****

The following card is fairy. The little unicorn is jumping over the rainbow, telling us never stop to dream. I have found the unicorn motif on the internet, and coloured it with Promarkers. I also added some glitter on unicorn's mane and tail. For the rainbow I used Tina's stencil, but since I do not have the cloud stencils, I imitated those with the use of scalloped oval stencils.

Poletne lučke / Summer popsicles

Vem, da je še zima in da tudi po pomladi še nič kaj ne diši, ampak moja naslednja voščilnica je prav poletna. Morda pa bo pomagala pregnati te mrzle dni in sive oblake pri nas.
Digi štampiljko sladolednih lučk sem našla na blogu Melonheadz Illustrating. Lučke sem pobarvala s Promarkerji, za ozadje pa sem izbrala papir s potiskom besede "summer".

Ko pa smo že pri sladkem, vam pokažem še moje prve cake popse ali tortice na palčki, kot jim tudi pravijo. Moram priznati, da so mi na začetku delali kar nekaj težav, saj so kroglice padale s palčk oz. drsele po palčki navzdol. No, kljub temu, je natalo nekaj primerkov, primernih za slikanje. Delala pa sem po slednjem receptu s spleta.

*****

I know it is still winter and that the spring does not seem to be near, but my next card is very summery. Maybe it will help to chase away the cold days and grey clouds around here.
I have found the digi stamp of the popsicles on the Melonheadz Illustrating blog. I coloured the image with Promarkers and for the background I used the design paper with the inscription "summer" all over it.

Since we talk about sweets, I will also show you the first cake pops I made. I have to admit I had quite some troubles at first, since the cake balls were falling off or sliding down the stick. Despite that, I managed to make a few specimens, suitable to appear on the photo. I followed this recipe for the cake pops.

Fantek je / It's a boy

Spodnji čestitki sem poslala dobrima prijateljicama ob rojstvu sinčkov. Obe sta narejeni na podoben način, na modri karirasti podlagi. 

Pri prvi sem kot osrednji motiv izbrala papirnato čipko, na katero sem nalepila plastičen motiv otroškega vozička. V zgornji kot sem dodala še nekaj perlic, spodaj pa sem poleg modre pentlje dodala napis, ki sem ga natisnila s pomočjo računalnika.

Pri drugi sem  na sredino položila papirnati izrezek otroškega vozička, ki sem ga rahlo okrasila s bleščicami, kar na fotografiji ni najbolj vidno. Napis na vrhu sem toplotno embosirala, kot dodatek pa zalepila še plastičen motiv slinčka in modro pentljico.

*****

The following cards were sent to my very good friends when their sons were born. The cards are both designed in a similar way, based on the blue squared paper.

In the first card I put a paper lace in the middle, where I added a baby pushchair embellishment. I put a few rhinestones in the upper corner and a blue bow with a print 'congratulations' at the bottom.

For the second one, I used a paper pushchair cut and embellished it with glitter, although that is not visible well from the picture. I heat embossed the inscription on the top and embellished the card further with a bib motif and a blue bow.
