Shortest Night of the Year

Hello everyone! Here's my last minute layout for the 123 Get Scrappy! challenge. It's a bingo board sort of challenge, and the row I picked was Clouds, Yellow Background and Squares.


Innoittajana oli 123 Get Scrappy! -haaste, jossa sivun elementit valitaan "bingoruudukosta". Oma rivini on: pilvet, keltainen tausta ja neliöt.

The clouds are made stencilling with structure paste and then coloured with Distress Inks. And the photo is from a walk I took on Midsummer Eve last year with my mother.




Pilvet tein tuputtamalla rakennepastaa sabluunan läpi ja sävyttämällä niitä sitten Distress Inkeillä. Kuva on juhannusillan kävelyltä äitini kanssa viime vuonna ihastuttavassa Teijon kylässä.

The wood squares are home made: I cut them from a floor materials catalogue with my Fiskars Squeeze Punch and mounted them on ordinary cardboard. I then distressed the edges with brown Stazon ink.

Puuneliöt tein itse parkettikatalogista Fiskarsin kahvaleikkurilla leikaten. Liimasin taustalle tavallista pahvia ja väritin reunat ruskealla Stazon-musteella.

I also used the Skissedilla April sketch, though I did not make it to the challenge deadline!

Käytin myös tätä Skissedillan luonnosta, vaikka en haasteen määräaikaan ehtinytkään!

Happy First of May to you all! / Hyvää vappua kaikille!
