OCC Mask-erade Day 2

Well, I have worked on this card more than ever before. It's for a very special wedding in August. I had to make it now as the baby comes around July and I'm not sure how I'll cope with my new schedule. :-)

The progress: stencil-making with my silhouette, masking with it, ink-blending, heat-embossing, a little bit of sewing, 3D-mounting, creating a cut file, then using its negative on my card - for this one also having to put back those itty-bitty little details of the letters. PHEW!

Első scrapbook oldal nevezésem. Evör. Mondjuk az oldalon így is látszik, hogy képeslapos vagyok. Nem nagyon bírok több díszítőelemet. :-) Viszont végre kész az albumunk, már csak össze kell fűzni. (Ehhez viszont még szükségem van valamilyen papírra a Stardream helyett.

In The Works...

I started to create the cover of our wedding album. I have very little time these days but I'll post sneak peaks along the way. Stay tuned.

Life In Technicolor

When this post goes live, I'll be a bit more excited than the day before since it'll be only two days until our wedding! Anyway, I still had to produce a thank you card for a dear colleague of mine who'd leave us by the end of the month. On the top of that I won't be here when they give it to him... oh, well. So I wanted to create something pretty - in a masculine way. And since nowadays the RIC challenges inspire me a LOT (thanks to Jennifer), I decided to go with this weeks photo.

Well, I couldn't imagine myself wearing this dress but I admit it's a pretty one. :-) So here goes my card to it.

Just like in the inspirational photo, there's a lot of stripes going on here, eh? It almost feels like a Julie Ebersole card for me. I said almost. There's a long way to go for me till I get there. LOL

By the way, my colleague loves his black bike, so to highlight it I put shiny glossy accent on it.
I'm also entering this card into the latest Lawnscaping Challenge - Dust 'em Off as I haven't used those ties in ages!

Thanks for stopping by and please think of me on Saturday so that I won't fall over on the church steps like Jennifer Garner did at the Oscar's! :-D
Wonder where the title of this post comes from? Here you go.

Temperly London

Is the name of the current challenge at RIC's. And I went along with this picture.

I got new markers, so I combined Copics and Promarkers with some PaperSmooches stamps here. I have to say I'm more satisfied with Promarkers currently (not only because they're somewhat cheaper).

The idea of the washi tape background for the sentiment came in in the end. I wanted it to pop out, since it'll be for some other newly weds. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

In other news I got enrolled into my first ever scrapbook workshop. But only because it's about mixed media techniques and mainly because it's about a......WEDDING ALBUM!

Yeah, else I'd never made it to scrapbooking and I'm still not sure about it but I'll give it a go soon. Pretty excited and hope to find the time to finish it before the big day, which is btw 22 Feb if everything goes smoothly. We have the restaurant, my dress, the rings, from next week it'll be about the details.

September...Are We Just Starting Again?

Now that I've a had a minor (but painful) surgery on my big toe that'll recover completely  in three (!) months, September is really like in one of my fave U2 song, Please:

September 
Streets capsizing 
Spilling over 
Down the drain 
Shards of glass splinters like rain 
But you could only feel 
Your own pain 

And yes, I'm still behind with my calendar a bit... but I know our official engagement dinner with our parents is closer because our wedding rings are ready and we got to take them next Tuesday!  :)
