Najbolji prijatelj

Na pamet mi padaju fraze: hot mess, just the two of us, you're my best friend (Queen, naravno)... Ne znam kad sam posljednji put napravila neku kartolinu a da nisam naišla na tisuću i jedan problem! Npr. - otisnem pečat, započnem s bojanjem, ide mi i odjednom zaključim da oko nije dobro otisnuto i da bi ga trebalo pojačati crnim markerom, kojeg nisam koristila nikad. ... Da. Ode prvi pokušaj u koš. Da otisnemo ponovno - ne valja otisak. Pa drugi, treći put... Ma nije moguće da ovaj jastučić ostaje bez tinte??? Argh... No dobro, odaberimo najbolji i pretvarajmo se da je to namjerno i nabacimo još jednu frazu: no line coloring. :) Ok. Odabrala sam boje, sigurna u svoj izbor i započela sa breskvastom jaknicom. Lijepo je ispala, je l' da? Ne vidite boju breskve? Hm... Možda zato jer sam odlučila da želim da je više pink. Ne valja. Dodajmo ipak malo ljubičaste. Šta ja to radim??? Udarite me - udarite me odmah! Sve smo zamaskirali nekim crvenkastim tonovima i mogu vam garantirati da ovu nijansu ne posjeduje nitko! :) :) :)
No, dobro, recite mi da nije totalna katastrofa. Čini mi se da je ispala slatko - čak sam imala mogućnost iskoristiti još jednu riječ izrezanu s etikete skinute s dječje majice (I heart recikliranje)! A iskoristila sam i dosta ostataka papirića, a to je uvijek popraćeno ushićenjem s moje strane...

Urbana princeza

Ova šlampavica s tim rukavima i pomponima na čarapama nije me odmah oborila s nogu. Dok nisam shvatila da sam i ja šlampava kao i ona. :) Možda mi rukavi i ne vise kao njoj, ali glava mi je prečesto rastresena i puna čudnjikavih misli. Hand Me Downs bila je pravi užitak za bojanje. Jako sam zadovoljna tonovima i kombinacijom boja na njoj, ali me dizajn sinoć izludio! Mudro(!) sam ju ostavila po strani do danas. E, kad zasja sunce, odmorna si, otprilike, skužiš katastrofalne greške od večeri prije i posložiš sve kako treba baš na vrijeme za čaj! (Yes, we are all mad down here.)
U planu mi je malo više se igrati ovim curama, jer su mi predivne i gušt mi ih je bojati. ;)
E, da - i bravo za mene - iskoristila sam neke stvari koje već predugo čuvam. Ha!

Alternativni Božić

Alternativna božićna Kartolina uz The Oval Portrait iz SBS Steampunk Collectiona. Kako vam se čini? Ovo je posljednja ovogodišnja čestitka za Božić - približava se vrijeme za malo odmora. :)
Ovo je svojevrsni odgovor na predivan rad talentirane
Laile Ånesland s Castle in the Skies bloga. Toliko sam se zaljubila u njenu čestitku pod nazivom Alternative Christmas, da smo se povezale mailom i odlučile na razmjenu božićnih čestitki! Zamisli oduševljenja!
Kako već duže vrijeme pikiram SBS Steampunk pečate, ovo je bio samo dobar izgovor da si priuštim jednog. :)
Zadovoljna svojim konačnim radom odlučila sam si pribaviti barem još jednog u skoroj budućnosti. A točno znam i kome ću ga namijeniti. ;)
