The hided message!

This project is my entry for 'December Challenge' on Beccy's Place.
Proiectul meu pentru provocarea lunii decembrie, pe site-ul lui Beccy.

First appearance

The image after the raising movement

Intermediate movement and the background of the card

The central image is based on Beccy's creation -  'Christmas bauble', but is not
quite accurate because is hand drawn (not printed)!
Imaginea globului am preluat-o de pe site, dar nu e tiparita, asa ca veti observa diferente. 

I wanted to experiment a special way of doing a card, by having two paper sheets 
that  are imbedded and a third one as a cover with a cut-out, through which 
you can see the other two. I saw this kind of technique on a bought card and not 
in a tutorial, so I do not know its name! 
Modelul este experimental, urmarind nu un tutorial ci o alta felicitare. Doua parti
se intrepatrund iar prin decuparea celei de-a treia se pot vedea imaginile de pe
primele doua. 

 Dimensions of the three layers (in cm.) - 1) 17 x 24; 2) 16 x 12; 3) 17 x 16.
 In the original design, the first and the third layers were not  separated. 
 But I did not have this dimension of board, so I improvised.
 You can observe the cutting lines on the first two layers, that allowed the
 movement. 
 Liniile de taiere ale primelor doua cartoane permit miscarea relativa intre ele.

On the dark blue sheet is drawn the bauble (with gel pens and acrylics colors)
and on the first layer there are the celebration words. These ones and all the
other embellishments are thin stickers. 
Pe coala albastru inchis este desenat globul ( cu acrilice si carioci cu gel) iar pe 
primul carton sunt aplicate cuvintele. Acestea ca si toate accesoriile sunt 
stickere autoadezive subtiri. 
 

The third layer - the cover - has a cut-out (~7cm. x 12cm) and is bonded with
a both sides self adhesive strip (on right, bottom and backward areas). 
Al treilea carton cu decupare, este fixat cu banda dublu adeziva in partea dreapta,
cea de jos si si spate.

The red decorative adhesive strip is on the edge of this layer, to stay more pressed.
The small Christmas tree from the back is also a sticker.
Pe spate, banda adeziva decorativa este pusa pentru a fixa mai bine cartonul cu decupare.
Bradutul este tot un sticker.

So, this is my project. I wanted to do this experiment, but a second experience
will be reproduced with less cutting lines...!  In 2020, I presume! :)
Am vrut sa fac acest experiment, dar il voi repeta doar simplificat, cu mai
putine linii de taiere! Sper ca la anul!  

 

La Multi Ani, cu bucurie si pace!

O sticluta de parfum transformata

Ideea mea a fost sa transform intr-o decoratiune de pom o mica sticluta de
parfum. Este adevarat ca Provocarea 61 de pe site-ul prietenelor de la
Provocari Verzi, are o alta cerinta, pe care Diana a indeplinit-o perfect.
Eu am transformat altceva decat o decoratiune, dar asa s-a dorit transformarea,
asa ca... sper ca Rux sa nu se supere!

Sticluta are forma de bradut si este de aproximativ 7 cm, incluzand si dopul.
Am strecurat prin el o scobitoare pe care am fixat doua stelute stickere
stralucitoare si un fir de atarnat.  Am vopsit-o cu o culoare utilizata si pentru
sticla. Nuanta obtinuta este dupa doua straturi. Apoi am adaugat niste urme
de vopsea pentru contur, pe post de decoratiuni. Dupa uscare, si-a gasit locul
in bradulet!

 

Craciun fericit si magic!

Beccy's Challenge - Day 30-Playing with colors

The Day 30 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 30 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

Let's celebrate!

 For the last piece of the puzzle, I chose to color a mandala from that paper covered 
with velvet.  The colors are shiny and metallic, including the corners of the page.
 

Ultima lucrare este o mandala pe hartie acoperita cu catifea.
Culorile sunt stralucitoare si metalice, inclusiv in colturi.

This is the end of the November journey! It was an amazing challenge and 
I am grateful I could participate this year. I worked,  learned, discovered 
new things and ideas. And I saw also amazing creations, a real
bouquet of  colors and imaginations.

Day 29 - Z

Beccy's Challenge - Day 29-Letter Z - A special zip

Ziua 29 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

A rocket to Universe!

A little bit unusual to start from a photo of an object. A zip for the letter Z!
You can see it in the next image.

The two layers card is  painted with watercolors, the rocket is heat embossing
and the little stars are done with a marker. 

Am pornit de la imaginea unui fermoar! Culorile sunt din
acuarele, racheta realizata prin embosare iar pentru stelute
am folosit un marker!

A simple project at the end of the alphabet! :)

Day28 - Y

Beccy's Challenge - Day 28-Letter Y - Yellow for Christmas!

The Day 28 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 28 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

This is a simple card using the same technique like in the day 18 ( 'paper tearing').
Four types of paper including a transparent one and a painted sheet in yellow 
are bonded on a board, stock size.
Between the first two is a yellow realized with heat embossing. I added four
snowflakes done with a hobby puncher and everything else are very thin stickers.

Am folosit aceeasi tehnica a fasiilor de hartie. Patru tipuri incluzand
calc galben si o coala vopsita sunt lipite pe un carton de
felicitari. Intre primele doua este o zona realizata prin embosare
la cald. Fulgii sunt realizati cu perforatorul iar celelalte elemente
reprezinta stickere autoadezive foarte subtiri.

This day is Yellow!

Day 27 - X

"How to tear paper to give textured edges"

Beccy's Challenge - Day 27-Letter X - A special bookmark

The Day 27 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 27 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

This is a new bookmark with a lots of 'X',  meaning a specific sign (cross) used
for  Romanian traditional outfit. This time the sign is drawn on a white board,
in red and black. As embellishment I used a self adhesive lace.
 

Un nou semn de carte avand multe X-uri - semnul cruciulitei
din cusaturile romanesti, realizat pe carton alb, in rosu si negru.
Pentru ornare am adaugat o dantela autoadeziva.

Source (lots of  'X')

This is the 'X' day!

Day26 - W

Beccy's Challenge - Day 26-Letter W - A special wreath

The Day 26 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 26 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

The project is based on a round part from the velvet paper I used  for  letter V.
Under it is a paper with holes already drilled. Both are bonded on a board,
stock size. The shiny lines are done with a metallic yarn. The white areas are
painted with acrylics. The other elements: the snowflakes (in the corners)
and little flowers are bonded.
 

Piesa centrala face parte din hartia acoperita cu catifea, utilizata
pentru litera V. Sub ea este o hartie deja gaurita, pe care am cusut-o
cu fir metalic. Ambele sunt lipite pe un carton pentru felicitari.
Celelalte elemente: fulgii si floricelele sunt lipite.

This is my project for letter W!

'Clematis Beccy' - Beccy's creation

On this second entry for letter V, I used for the flowers a special velvet powder.
It is used on a surface covered with glue,  preferable transparent. And it has 
velvet touch. I don't have practice to use it, so the appearance is not perfect,
but I wanted to share this interesting material.
For the rest: markers, brush pens,  acrylics and a waved cut with hobby scissors.

Pentru aceasta lucrare am folosit o pudra 'catifea'. Se foloseste
pe o suprafata acoperita cu lipici, dand efectul catifelei. Experienta
mea in utilizare este limitata si suprafata nu este uniforma, dar
materialul este interesant, asa ca am vrut sa vi-l arat.
Suplimentar am folosit markere, carioci si acrilice si un foarfece
cu model pentru taietura.

This is the second entry for letter V.

Day 25 - V (1)

Beccy's Challenge - Day 25-Letter V - Velvet geometry

The Day 25 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 25 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

Velvet game

For this day I decide to use some pieces remained from a diy velvet paper.
The velvet is black. The white geometries  were part of the original. 
There are bonded on a white board, stock size. The white surface is colored
with markers and acrylics.  

Geometria este realizata cu bucati dintr-o foaie acoperita cu
o catifea neagra cu model. Baza este un carton alb pentru felicitari.
Zonele albe sunt colorate cu acrilice si markere colorate.

This is my project for letter V.





 

Day 24 - U

Beccy's Challenge - Day 24-Letter U - "Undertones technique"

The Day 24 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 24 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

Imaginea de plecare:

'Ribbon embroidery' - Beccy's creation

This time I explored a little bit the "undertones" technique", shared by Beccy
and I applied it on the above image.
You can see in the squares, on the first row the undertones colors and on the
second one, the same colors covered with the red (first on the second row).

Acestea sunt culorile folosite pentru tehnica straturilor: pe primul
rand  direct pe alb. Pe randul doi, aceleasi culori acoperite cu
rosu (prima pozitie de pe randul doi.)

 The card has three layers, as you can see. The second one is shiny with a delicate
 pattern. The base is a blue card, stock size. The flowers are colored with pencils
 and some embellishment  added with shiny markers.

Felicitarea are trei straturi, din care cel din mijloc este lucitor,
cu un model usor embosat. Baza este un carton de felicitari
albastru. Pentru flori am folosit creioane colorate. Efectele
sunt realizate cu markere stralucitoare.

This is my creation for letter U.

Beccy's Challenge - Day 23-Letter T - Two images from one tree

The Day 23 for the November Challenge on Beccy's Place
Ziua 23 a provocarii lunii noiembrie, pe Blogul lui Beccy.

Starting from the technique that Beccy shared with us, I used a silicone stamp
with a Christmas tree sufficient big and after I colored it, I cut it in half.
But instead of using the parts on two cards, I bonded them on one board, 
trimming the parts like in the photos. The stickers - snowflakes make a 
connection between the both sides. 

Am pornit de la o imagine creata printr-o stampila de
silicon , pe care dupa ce am colorat-o am taiat-o pe
jumatate si am taiat-o si lipit-o ca in imagini. Am adaugat
fulgi de zapada (stickere) care conecteaza jumatatile.

This is my card for the letter T. 
The second image is the first one upside-down.

Day 22 - S (2)
