Hello!
Welcome to our Winners Profile, showcasing the Design Winner of last month's Take It Make It challenge!
The very talented winner of the September 2019 challenge is:
Milka Gubo
Milka won the challenge with this beautiful card. We loved the wonderful vintage feel of the colour scheme, with a modern image providing a beautiful contrast!
Q: How long have you been a stamper, and how did you get started?
A:
I’ve been stamping for 5 years. In summer 2013, when I
moved to another part of Croatia, I accidentally ran into a cardmaking
challenge and discovered a whole new world to me! First I worked with digital
images. My first physical stamps were actually prizes I won in challenges I
played.
Q: What are your favourite kinds of stamps, and do you have a favourite stamp company?
A:
My favourite kinds of stamps are cute and fun, but I also
like elegant and flowery stamps and vintage style stamps.
My favourite stamp companies are: Clearly Besotted,
Create a Smile, Gerda Steiner Designs, Jane’s Doodles, Lawn Fawn, Mama
Elephant, My Favorite Things, Paper Smooches, Simon Says Stamp, Stamping Bella,
Stampers Anonymous, Uniko, Your Next Stamp.
Q: Describe your style, are you a messy kind of stamper or a more 'clean and simple' kind of person?
A:
My style would be clean and simple, but I also like to step
out of my comfort zone and create something “busy” or “messy”.
Q: What kind of projects do you like creating the most?
A:
I like creating CAS (clean and simple) and interactive cards
the most.
Q: Apart from stamps, what is the one product you wouldn't be without when you craft?
A:
I love to colour and I couldn’t craft without colours
(coloured pencils or ink pads).
We also asked Milka to share a couple of her favourite stamped creations with us, and tell us why she likes them so much. Here is what she has chosen:
"Watercolouring is my favourite colouring
technique, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something I've
never tried before: no line colouring with coloured pencils on Kraft.
I was more than satisfied with my no line colouring and will surely do it more
in the future. On this card I used Jane’s Doodles
stamps" - Milka
"I love creating CAS cards and interactive cards.
Combining those two with rainbow colours is a winning design for me! On this
card I used a sentiment stamp from Lawn Fawn" - Milka
Congratulations on being our September Design Winner Milka, it was lovely to learn a little more about you!
