I Love Math Challenge #17

 

Hello Friends,

It is time for another Math challenge. Now on, all the challenges will run for 2 months so you all will have enough time to get inspired and play. This challenge is set by Željka.

Math: Nine

Design: Card

Theme: Nature

Additional info:

Create a nature themed card using 9 elements (same or different) on your card. If you are using a sentiment, it’s counting as one element. Words are not counted separately.

Challenge starts: August 30th, 2020, 10:00 PM CEST (UTC +2)

Challenge ends: October 30th, 2020, 9:55 PM CEST (UTC +2)

Initially, I thought of creating a scene card but decided to do abstract in the end. When I was going through all the possible stamps I can use for it, the sentiment from an old SSS stamp jumped out at me. 

"Adopt the pace of nature : her secret is patience ."

It is a beautiful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I decided to use various elements of nature  from different stamps . To accommodate all the elements, I went with slimline card. It is 3.5* 8.25 inches.  

9 elements are sea, earth,wind, fire, wood, snow, thunder, sun and sentiment.

Instead of plain background, 

I used similar dies to provide some texture and relevant backdrop. 

I hope you like my take on the challenge. 

One winner will get one stamp set of Jane's Doodles.

Thank you for being here. Have a wonderful day!

I Love Math Challenge #16

Hello Friends,

How are you all doing in these tough times of pandemic? I will be honest, I am having trouble focusing on anything. Anxiety got me a bit, i guess. I am trying with yoga & reading and stuff but I want my mojo back. I hope you all are in better spot than me. I hope we all heal soon from the current situation. 

We are having I love math challange #16. 

Math: One thirdDesign: AnyTheme: Animals

Let's see my card.

I have made a simple card. On water color paper i painted sky and water and a bit of sand with water color. I kept it in mind not to paint beyond 1/3 part. Stamps are for one of the monthly kit by Heroarts. 

Here is the closeup.

I hope you like the minimalist look of it.  

Challenge starts: May 7th, 2020, 10:00 PM CEST (UTC +2)
Challenge ends: July 7th, 2020, 9:55 PM CEST (UTC +2)

We will be selecting TOP 4 from all the entries and one random winner from that can win one Jane's Doodles stamp set.

I Love Math Challenge #15

Hello Friends,

It is time for another math challenge.

 I can't believe we are already on 15th challenge. That is some consistent hard work put in by my dear friend, Milka! This her idea and she is the one who has organized this in spite of many hurdles along the way! Unfortunately, she is under the weather so her post is not up yet but she will be with us in a day or two. By the time I will give you a head start on challenge.

Math: Anything Math Goes

Design: AnyTheme: Christmas/Winter

Additional info:

Create Christmas or Winter themed project (card, layout, box, bag etc.). Include something Math (anything you like) and please explain it.

You can start creating your projects and when Milka's post is up with inlinkz, you link your project there.

Now, coming to my card, I have used MFT stencil and few blue and green distress oxides for blending. I have chosen triangle shapes for math part as they represent Christmas trees very well. All the details are hand drawn. I also added some glimmer paste for the snow using sss stencil. The sentiment is by Jane's Doodles.

It is an easy challenge and I had fun making this card. I hope you will play along. You can visit Milka's blog HERE in couple of days for more details, rules and inlinkz to link your project.

The Prize: one Jane's Doodles stamp of winner's choice for one random winner from our TOP 4.

I love math challenge #14

Hello there,

I am back...:) ! We had a fantastic 12 days family vacation in Switzerland. This was our first time to Europe and now I want to see every country there. It was beyond words beautiful ! We came back with our hearts full of joy  and our bags full of chocolates...:P .


It is time to get back to crafting! Today, I am sharing my inspiration for I Love Math Challenge #14.



The theme was set by our team mate Valentina ! 

 GRID (Nonograms, known also as Picross or Griddlers,Cross Stitch etc.).

Grid is a pattern of horizontal and vertical lines spaced out at regular intervals, forming squares or rectangles.

Source: Your Dictionary  (https://www.yourdictionary.com/grid)

Nonogram is a puzzle in which cells of a grid must be filled or left blank, according to sets of numbers given at the side of the grid, to reveal a hidden picture.

Source: Your Dictionary  (https://www.yourdictionary.com/nonogram)

Cross Stitch

1. A double stitch forming an X in sewing and embroidery.

2. Needlework made with X-shaped stitches.

Source: Your Dictionary  (https://www.yourdictionary.com/cross-stitch#websters)

It is a brilliant theme  with so many possibilities. 

Let's check how I interpreted it. 

I played simple...:) . 

I printed  grid pattern on a white card stock, stamped, masked and ink blended the background.

I colored the stamped images following the grid pattern, added foam with white gel pen. 

I just highlighted few squares in the background to enhance the theme!

The stamp set is by Verve Stamps ( Sadly, they are not anymore into business!) .

Don't you think the theme is very interesting?
Come along and play with us!

I Love Math Challenge #13

Hello friends,

How are you today! We are late this time but Challenge#13 is on! If you are familiar with math challenges then you know they are super fun and If you are first timer please visit Milka's blog HERE for details & rules.

This time the topic is little tricky but that means more imagination and more creativity, right?

                                                                 Math : Infinity

                                                                 Project : Card

                                                                 Theme : Any

I struggled a little to work on this theme but was happy with the outcome. I feel nothing is more infinite than love. 

I used memory box heart die to create infinite sign. For the top part of panel, I just swipe orange and aqua ink pads from the top down. When it was dry, I swipe versamark ink pad and embossed it with golden embossing powder. Stamped sentiment in black to finish it off .

Love the texture!

The challenge will end on June 4th, 2019 - 9:55pm CEST.

Prize : One Jane's Doodles stamp set of winners choice. Željka, Kaja, Milka, Valentina and I will select four favorite projects (TOP 4), which will be featured on Milka's blog on June 30th 2019.
Among TOP 4, there will be a random draw (using Random.org) for one lucky winner who will then receive the prize.

Please refer Milka's blog HERE to meet our Guest Designer Željka Jurković-Grižić and to link your project.

I hope you will play along. Can't wait to see what you create.

THanks for stopping by. Hugs!

I Love Math Challenge #11

Hey friends,

I love math challenge is back with interesting theme. We are on 11th challenge. Isn't that amazing. My super talented friend Milka is working hard to make it happen. I respect her passion for doing same.

Back to challenge ... the theme is Crescent Shape. Create any project using crescent shape on it or have a crescent shaped project but crescent shape should be a focal point.

Here is my inspiration

I know...i know...it's an adorable card. But all credit goes to this cutest ever stamp set  Little Dreamers by WPlus9. It was fun to make that circular galaxy background though...:)

Please visit Milka's blog HERE for details, rules, prizes and more inspiration. 

Thank you so much for being here. I really hope you will give a try to this fun challenge. 

Have a great day!

I love Math Challenge #10

Hello friends,

It is the time for I love math challenge @ Milka's blog. It is 10th challenge. The theme is Lines and/or stripes with hint of summer. Use line or lines or stripes on your summer themed project.

Curves (curvy lines) are allowed, but lines and/or stripes must be in a focal point. 

Here is my take on it. 

The stripes are Clearly Besotted stamp  . Origami Cranes are old, probably  retired Reverse confetti stamp. Sentiment is mix of Flaura & Faune and Avery Elle. Blue, green colors are for summer hint.

I love the ultra modern look of this card and the color combo. Sometimes, you surprise your own-self and this was that moment for me. Head over to challenge blog to learn more and see more inspirations HERE.  

I hope I will see you there in link up..:) Have a great day!

I Love Math Challenge #7

Hello Friends,

It is the time for another math challenge at Milka's blog! 

The theme for the challenge is no 7. You can use 7 elements, 7 colors, no. 7...anything! 

This time , Valentina Bizjak of Barvito malo mesto, an amazing crafter and blogger from Slovenia is also joining us! She has a very interesting card to share on the blog!

Here goes my card!

I was brain storming to use 7 in some interesting way and I remembered this die by Kelly Purkey . I CASEd my own old card as It fits the theme. I took 7 days a week as a focal point and enhanced the theme by using 7 as a background and highlighting 7 in the sentiment. 

I hope you like my idea! 

Please visit the main challenge blog HERE to check the details and link up.

Thanks to be here. Can't wait to see what all you create!

I Love Math Challenge #6

The theme of this challenge is Hexagon(s).

Hexagon, in a geometry, is a six sided polygon or 6-gon. Regular or irregular, the total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720°.

Here is my card...

It is obvious that I enjoyed making this card & how much I love this challenge...:)
