Good evening (or morning, or afternoon... however good something wherever you are!)

Tuesday was open a new challenge on Deep Ocean Challenge blog, this time the LACE has the leading role, protagonist of a lot of creations and lovely works, and best friend of vintage lovers.


Loved by all, our nannies or grandmothers have a lot of it on their skirt or dressing gown, always in our mind when we think about Romantic period, or the ribbons in the hair of young girls at the end of 18OO, or the hem lines of white blouses of women at the beginning of 20th century, or old vintage photoes of our grandparents around years 20'-30'...
in every side you watch it, the lace is always fantastic, so lovely and chic, and we want give it a big thanks for help our creations to be wonderful, beautiful and sweet (or sexy)!
This time we want see how you interpretate this great theme, with ribbon or fabric it isn't important, must only be lace on your creation!
My interpretation for this theme coincides with a commission that asked me a card for a wedding: the bride, a dear friend of the girl who asked me this, is an "England lover" so I decided to tribute her with the same colours of english flag; the tag on the left is for write the newly weds, obviusly.


Materiali/Tools
stamps: my new Kenny K Download digi stamp "Happy Couple" - I think it's my favourite stamp from Kenny K at the moment, but I saw other wonderful stamps too... they're wainting for me! Ahaha
details: pearls and gems, lace white ribbon, blu ribbon from Hero Arts's set, pins (blu, white and hearty red), flowers, Magnolia Doohickeys for tag, punch "Doily Lace Edger Punch" by Martha Stewart used around the round (in this way, thanks to Less is More for the tutorial), copics for colouring
papers and cardstock: white cardstock for tha base, red cardstock for underline the layers, red squares paper "So Jolly" by Magnolia, the hearty white paper "Summer Breeze" by Maja Design (the same paper of the round), and the flowery paper "Flower Meadow" by "Maja Design"

CHALLENGES...

Buonasera,
sono qui per segnalarvi due nuovi challenge: il primo è il sesto challenge di Deep Ocean con il tema "Light Blue" (iniziato martedì 16 agosto, ma lo scrivo oggi visto che ero in vacanza) e quello della Some Odd Girl (fresco fresco di giornata) con il tema "Paper Piecing" ... che dire, non sono bellissimi?! Ispirazioni a go-gò, insomma, soprattutto se passate a vedere ciò che i compenenti dei due DT sono stati capaci di realizzare... Rimarrete a bocca aperta!
Per quanto riguarda Deep Ocean, le regole sono sempre le stesse: card, LO, easel card, segnalibri, shaker card, qualunque cosa sia cartacea è accettata, non c'è limite per l'entrate per singola persona, NON backlinkare (mi raccomandooo!!), scrivere nel post sul proprio blog che si partecipa al challenge e iscriversi tramite InLinkz in questa pagina. Vorrei vedere tanta, tanta partecipazione ai challenge di questo gruppo, purtroppo però mi rendo conto che siamo ancora un po' sconosciuti (siamo anche in estate, va ammesso, quindi molti adesso sono con i piedi in acqua salata e la testa altrove).
Tutti conoscono la tecnica del Paper Piecing (io l'ho usata sul cappuccio e sui pantaloni, ingrandite la foto per vedere meglio), per questo sono sicura che non c'è bisogno che ve la spieghi (ma se mi sbaglio correggetemi eh), quindi senza altro indugio vi presento il challenge iniziato oggi, indetto da Some Odd Girl: il fortunato vincitore si porterà a casa alcuni timbri a scelta (ovviamente marchiati SOG) e come al solito ci sarà l'ardua scelta dei due preferiti. Quindi, forbici alla mano, tagliuzzate un po' di carta e inventatevi un colorato vestito floreale per Mae o Tia, o un divertente paio di pantaloni estivi per Kody! Divertitevi e non risparmiate la vostra fantasia!!

Di seguito le card che ho realizzato per entrambe le occasioni, voglio commenti sinceri e spassionati, e mi fareste un grande, grandissimo piacere se passaste per i blog dei DT member per lasciare un po' d'amore... un abbraccio forte! Elena

Goodevening,
I'm here for put the spotlight on two new challenges: first is Deep Ocean's sixth challenge with the theme "Light Blue" (started tuesday 16 August, but i must write about today seen that I was in holiday) and Some Odd Girl's challenge (fresh daily) with the theme "Paper Piecing" ... what can I say, aren't they beautiful?! Inspirations a go-go, in short, especially if you pass to see what the DT members made... Wow, your mouths will remain open for hours, I swear!
About Deep Ocean, the rules are the same: card, LO, easel card, bookmarks, shaker card, everything that is paper and material is ok, there is no limit for the entries for each person, NOT backlinking (you'd better do not this), write in the post on own blog that the project competes to challenge and enter own name, link (the post, not the blog) and mail trought InLinkz on this page. I would see a lot of entries on this group, but I realize that we are still a little unknown (we are in summer now, too, so a lot of people have the feet under the salt water and are miles away).
Everybody know Paper Piecing tecnique (I used it on cap and pants, enlarge the photo for see details), for this I can’t see the need to talk about (but if I wrong, tell me, ok?!), so without more delay I introduce you the challenge started today, created by Some Odd Girl:The lucky winner will bring at home some stamps of his choice (by SOG) and as usual there will be the hard choice of favourites. So, be ready at scissor point (hope you understand what I want say), cut a little of paper and devise a flower colored dress for Mae o Tia, or a funny summery pants fo Kody or Tobie!! Let's fun and don't economize your fantasy!!

Folow up the cards I made for both the occasions, I want honest and impartial comments, and do me a big, big favour passing by DT member's blogs spreading love and a lots of adorable comments...
a big hug! Elena

New challenge on Some Odd Girl

Happy crafty day my dear friends, hope your week's been going well - we Odd Girls have certainly been looking forward to this day, and we're glad it's finally arrived! The new term has begun, and you got to meet all of the new Odd Girls last week, and the great works by old SOG too, and we shared some sneaks of the brand new digi release, and today, for this challenge, you're going to see those same digis in action!
Thank you for joined us four our Thank You challenge last week, and for the warm welcome to the new girls and a lovely goodbye for the old. Let me tell you, I'm so grateful with all the girls from past terms who gave me a lot of inspirations, their works are always fabolous and I'm sure every girl will feel a bit Odd Girl forever!!
I'm going to be with this amazing team for next six months... and, how can I tell you?! I'm so excited!
So let's get this party started with a new challenge, shall we? We know there are a lot of you who LOVE your color challenges, so we're going to give you LOTS of options for this one!

See this here thingamabob? Read carefully!

I'm sure you all know how useful the color wheel can be when you're looking for paint for a room, or trying to coordinate your curtains with your carpet, or playing around with something in graphic design. Today, we are challenging you to choose two COMPLIMENTARY colors for your projects! (this is the part where you have to read the deets). To be specific, two colors OPPOSITE one another on the wheel, like YELLOW and PURPLE - we don't mind if you add in a couple of shades, but if you choose BLUE and ORANGE, for example, you should stick to BLUE-GREEN, BLUE-VIOLET, RED-ORANGE or YELLOW-ORANGE for your additional hues. Careful not to be tossin' in some RED or YELLOW, or that won't work for our challenge. (we'll make the exception, of course, for skin and hair.
Wanna see how the pros do it? ;) Check out our very first challenge assignments from the brand new Odd Girls, using the brand new Back To School release, now available at SomeOddGirl.com!

Buondì scrapposo amici miei, spero che la vostra settimana stia procedendo bene - noi Odd Girls stiamo aspettando da un bel po' di tempo questo giorno, e siamo lieti che sia finalmente arrivato! Il nuovo "mandato" è finalmente arrivato, e avete avuto l'opportunità d'incontrare tutte le Odd Girls la scorsa settimana, e i meravavigliosi delle vecchie ragazze SOG, e vi abbiamo mostrato alcune realizzazioni con i nuovi timbri digitali rilasciati, e oggi, per questo challenge, vi mostreremo quelli stessi digi in azione!
Grazie per esservi divertiti con noi al nostro Thank You challenge la scorsa settimana, e per il caldo benvenuto alla nuove ragazze e il dolce "arrivederci" alle ragazze in uscita. Lasciatemi dire che sono davvere grata alle ragazze dei vecchi "mandati" che mi hanno ispirata tantissimo con i loro lavori, le loro creazioni sono sempre favolose e sono sicura che ognuna continuerà a sentirsi un po' Odd Girl!!
Sarò con questo meraviglioso team per i prossimi sei mesi... e, come posso dirlo?!? Sono così eccitata!!
Allora facciamo iniziare questo party con il nuovo challenge, mi seguite? Sappiamo che qui ci sono tantissime persone che AMANO i challenge sui colori, così stiamo per darvi tantissime opzioni per questo!

Vedete qui questo spettro dei colori?! Leggete attentamente!

Sono sicura che tutti voi sapete come usare questa "ruota dei colori", che può essere come quando quando pensate a come colorare la vostra stanza, o cercare di coordinare le vostre tende con il vostro tappeto, o creare qualcosa in grafica. Oggi vi sfidiamo a scegliere due colori COMPLeMENTARI per i vostri progetti! (questa è la parte dove dovete leggere attentamente i dettagli). Per essere specifici, due colori OPPOSTI uno all'altro sulla ruota, come GIALLO e VIOLA - non prestiamo attenzione se voi mettete una coppia di sfumature qua e là, ma se per esempio voi scegliete BLUE e ARANCIO a cui potete accoppiare/attaccare il BLUE-VERDE, BLUE-VIOLA, ROSSO-ARANCIO o GIALLO-ARANCIO come tinte aggiuntive. Attenzione a non mischiare del ROSSO o del GIALLO, o la creazione non sarà valida per il nostro challenge. (ovviamente, fa eccezione la colorazione della pelle e dei capelli).
Volete vedere cosa abbiamo fatto per voi? ;) Controllate le assegnazioni per il nostro primo vero challenge delle ragazze Odd Girls, che hanno usato i nuovi rilasci dal set "Back To School", ora disponibili su SomeOddGirl.com!

Ehehe late is only a word

Ehhhi my dear guys, what's up?
Yes, yes, you're right, I'm in late, a terrible late, but this last month has been so full of things to do, so busy, and the hot weather doesn't help (at the time the temperatures are hotter than last time I wrote). Usually, in the middle of the day, about 14-15/2-3 p.m, here in Tuscany we have about 35°c... and it's really hard work, believe me!!
Ok I'm here showing you some of my last projects, firs of all the card for the fourt challenge of Deep Ocean: this time we have chosen RIBBON as theme, so easy, isn't this!?

~

Ehhhhii miei cari ragazzi, come va?
Sì, sì, avete ragione, sono in ritardo, un terribile ritardo, ma questo ultimo mese è stato così pieno di cose da fare, così occupato, e il tempo caldissimo non aiuta (in questo momento le temperature sono più alte dell'ultima volta che vi ho scritto). Di solito, nella metà del giorno, circa verso le 14-15/2-3 p.m., qui in Toscana abbiamo sui 35°c... ed è davvero dura lavorare, credetemi!!
Ok, sono qui per mostrarvi alcuni dei miei ultimi progetti, prima di tutte la card per il quarto challenge di Deep Ocean; questa volta abbiamo scelto RIBBON come tema, davvero facile, non è così!?



the dictionary defines it as
"rib·bon (rìb'on) n. A narrow strip or band of fine fabric, such as satin or velvet, finished at the edges and used for trimming, tying, or finishing."

~

il dizionario lo definisce
"nastro (nà-stro) s.m.
Striscia di tessuto, solitamente usata per guarnizioni e orlature, oppure tutto ciò che, anche se fatto di materiali differenti dal tessuto, si presenta in forma di nastro."



Come on, come on, we want see A LOT of ribbons, everywhere ribbons, so we can bind your fantasy to our heart. We have Quixotic Paperie as sponsor, a voucher of 10£ as the prize, wow so prescious, everyone loves Q.P.!!

~

I must admit it, for the previous DO challenge I didn't post my card for the incredible number of commitments I had, so I'm going to show you just now what I made... will you forgive me? *sweet eyes*
In that occasion the theme was CARD: I need fresh air and low temperatures (with the hot sun shining all the day, you can understand me... uff!!), so I decided to create a Christmas project, all red and joyful. Ok, it was effortlessly, I love red and I love create everything in this colour... yes, judge, I'm guilty!! :D
I distress the sides as thought it is an old card, but inside I used a modern deisgn, for give it contrast... So, what do you think?

~

Devo ammetterlo, per il precedente DO challenge non ho pubblicato la mia card per l'incredibile numero di impegni che ho avuto, quindi ve la mostrerò adesso quel che ho realizzato... mi perdonerete? *occhioni dolci*
In quella occasione il tema era CARD: avevo bisogno di aria fresca e basse temperature (con il sole caldissimo che brilla tutto il giorno, potete capirmi... uff!!), quindi ho deciso di creare un progetto natalizio, tutto rosso e pieno di gioia. Ok, devo ammettere che non c'è stato nessuno sforzo, amo il rosso e adoro creare qualunque cosa in questo colore... sì, giudice, sono colpevole!! :D
Ho distressato i lati come se fosse una vecchia card, ma all'interno ho usato un desgin modern, per dargli un po' di contrasto... Allora, che ne pensate?

Another card made about two weeks ago for a commission... I had a lot of fun to colours this beautiful little fairy with blueberry, violet, lavender colour!! It's a bit simple maybe, but I believe that all those colours fill the eyes, they're really... uhmm "dense". The hearty pin (in this photo seems red, but I coloured it, it should be violet) gives a touch of sweetness, even if all the card is so delicate and lovely for itself. The flowers, obviusly, can't miss in my cards, especially in fairy project: for me these magical characters fly all the day in floral landscapes, like busy bees, having fun, joking, loving life and nature. Yes, I know, it's a childish thought, but I believe in fairies... After all, Peter Pan says that fairies born from childreen smile, and die everytime a baby says that they don't exist, and I don't want this ;)

~

Un'altra card fatta circa due settimane fa per una commissione... Mi sono divertita un sacco a colorare questa bellissima fatina con colori che vanno dal mirtillo, al viola, al lavanda!! E' un po' simpliciotta forse, ma io credo che tutti questi colori riescono a riempire l'occhio, sono molto... uhmm... "densi". Lo spillone a forma di cuore (in questa foto sembra rosso, ma l'ho colorato, dovrebbe esser viola) da un tocco di dolcezza, anche se tutta la card è così delicata e adorabile per se stessa. I fiori, ovviamente, non possono mancare nelle mie card, specialmente nei progetti fatati: per me questi magici personaggi volano tutto il giorno in paesaggi floreali, come api operose, divertendosi, scherzando, amando la vita e la natura. Sì, lo so, è un pensiero infantile, ma io credo nelle fate... Dopotutto, Peter Pan dice che le fate nascono dal sorriso dei bambini, e muoiono ogni volta che uno di questi dice che non esistono, e io non voglio certo questo ;)

Materiali/Tools
stamps: The Greeting Farm Flutter Anya.
details: organza ribbon, heart pin, red gems, pearls, Crystal Stickles, flowers and copics for the colouring.
papers and cardstock: violet and white cardstock, paper from KaiserCraft Magic Happens Collection (tag from the same set).

This card partecipates to:
Copic Creations Challenge - Pastel colours
The Stamping Boutique - Cool Colours
iCopic - Pastel colours
Gingerloft Challenge - Make it sparkle!
Make It Colourful - Colouring hair in unnatural colours
Little Claire's Designs - Things With Wings
Sugar Creek Hollow - Wing Things


It's the last, it's the last, DON'T WORRY, I promise, it's the last! This is another commission, with the sexy Devil Anya from TGF; I used for the layout an old sketch found on the web, I like so much so I decided to use for this card... Isn't it grunge? I like especially the touch of old and vintage given from distressed sides and papers.

E' l'ultima, è l'ultima, NON VI PREOCCUPATE, lo prometto, è l'ultima! Questa è un'altra commissione, con la sexy Devil Anya di TGF; ho usato per il layoutun vecchio sketch trovato in rete, mi piaceva così tanto che ho deciso di usarlo per questa card... Non vi sembra decisamente grunge? Mi piace particolarmente il tocco di vecchio e vintage dato da le carte e i lati distressati.
