Black Butterfly and Poppies (Felicitare cu fluture negru si maci)

Third post today!
Sorry guys, but I have soooo many things I haven't showed you yet.
I just finished this card for 2S4Y and I also made it match my butterfly box I posted earlier.

Al treilea articol pe ziua de azi. Imi pare rau, dar mai am o multime de lucruri sa va arat.
Tocmai am terminat acesta felicitare pentru concursul 2S4Y. De asemenea am vrut sa se asorteze cu cutia din articolul anterior.




Of course I HAD to use a black butterfly!
And did you see these black poppies I cut with my cuttlebug die? I have had it for ages and this is the first time I managed to use these poppies on a project. I wonder why. It's an image I really like.
Evident A TREBUIT sa folosesc un fluture negru.
Si ce ziceti de macii acestia negri taiati cu cuttlebug? Aveam stanta de multa vreme, dar e prima data cand reusesc sa-i folosesc la un proiect. Ma intreb de ce. E o imagine care chiar imi place!


Both the butterfly and flower are spritzed with wine color glimmer mist. Since the cardstock is black you can only see the shimmer which is exactly the look I went for. Starting to like my glimmer mist more.
Atat fluturele cat si macii sunt stropiti cu Glimmer Mist de culoarea vinlui. Cartonul fiind negru nu se vede decat sideful din spray, adica exact ceea ce am urmarit. Incepe sa imi placa tot mai mult acest produs.

Cuttlebug Be Inspired #20 - Valerie Salmon Sketch

Hello everyone and thank you for all your good wishes.

Today's challenge over the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog is to make a card using Valerie Salmon's sketch.



The sketch is wonderful, but somehow I can't seem to be able to make cards from sketches, especially the complex ones. I was ready to give up making this card when I told to myself: "make it your own way!" So I changed it quite a bit, but in the end it came out ok. Still not very satisfied with it though.



















I made this flower for the Emboss Acetate challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge Blog but the I got ill and never made a card with it. I used the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder to emboss the acetate cut out the circle, paint with acrylic.

Great News and a Winner! (Vesti grozave si un castigator)

Drum roll please.....

I AM PART OF THE NEW CUTTLEBUG CHALLENGE DESIGN TEAM.
See this post for the official announcement.

This is something I haven't even dreamed of: ME, part of a design team! I was always thinking people won't even notice me since I live in Romania. OK, no more words. You must imagine how happy I am. There will be a lot going on on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog: challenges, tutorials, features so please ad that to your blog roll or wherever you list your favorite blogs. We are going to have lots of cuttlebug storage ideas on Sunday with some great projects.

I will have all the design team listed on the side bar so you can go see all their wonderful creations at all times.


And now for the WINNER of my Good Start Royal Chocolates: ANU had the closest guess to what my news were and she also hinted on something that I hope will be announced someday this year.





"Hi Meda,
Happy New Year. Saw all the embossed cards. Looks like your enjoying your cuttlebug. Is the good news related to that? Are u opening an online store or something? Or got an offer to design stamps?....oh the suspense is killing me...please let it out soon...can't wait to know.
The last time I was on your blog, it looked different. Well I like the way it looks with the background of flourishes and the lovely red!
hugs,
Anu"

Thank you for your comment, Annu. I know where to get your addy, so no need to e-mail it to me. I will send you a card and a little something extra on Monday.
