CaS op zaterdag 145 / CAS on saturday 145

Vandaag werd ik weer wakker in een witte wereld! Er ligt een dun laagje sneeuw buiten en daarvoor mag het van mij best wat kouder zijn...  De voorspellingen geven aan dat het niet lang zal blijven liggen, dus vandaag maar eens lijken of ik wat foto's kan maken...
Maar natuurlijk ben ik ook met wat stempels en inkt aan de gang gegaan voor wat CaS-kaarten:
Today I woke up in a white world! A thin layer of snow covers all and that is when I don't mind if it is a little could... The forcasts say it won't stay white for long, so I hope to spent some time outside taking pics...
Ofcourse I played a bit with stamps and ink making CAS-cards aswell:

Bij LIM is het eenlaagsweek met het thema tegenpolen trekken elkaar aan, dus heb ik deze stempel voor de 2e keer deze week uit de kast gepakt (het 1e resultaat volgt nog); ik hou van dans-stempels! Ik maakte deze gedeeltelijk blauw om ook mee te doen bij 613 Avenue Create.
At LIM it is onelayer and opposites attract so I pulled this stamp out of the closet for the seond time this week (first result will follow); I really like dance-stamps! Made it blue so it can entered at 613 Avenue Create aswell.



Gebruikte materialen:
Used materials:
Stempels: Action
Inkt: Versafine Onyx black,
Overige: Aquarelpapier, Zig Clean Colors, Caran D'Ache kleurpotloden en zwarte stiften


Nadat ik even naar een demo geweest ben de 2e kaart gemaakt. Dit is een van de 2 Valentijnskaarten die ik maak elk jaar. (en dan ben ik er echt klaar mee; heb er verder niets mee) en dus heb ik alle challenges die daar maar iets mee te maken hebben erin verwerkt; lekker makkelijk en in een keer klaar met hartjes, roze en rood! Dit is 'm geworden:
After I went out for a demo I made the 2nd card. This is one of the 2 Valentinecards that I make every year (and that's more than enough; that's not "my cup of tea"), so it was a quick one: I combined all the challenges with hearts, pink and red and am done with them! This is what I made:



Gebruikte materialen:
Used materials:
Stempels: Action
Inkt: Versafine Onyx black, Memento Rose bud, DI Picked raspberry, Abandoned coral en Fired brick
Overige: Aquarelpapier, waterpen, dstrestool. blendingtool en rose cardstock



Fijn weekend en creatieve groetjes,

  12. These are fabulous, Gerrina! Your first card with the dancers is so striking and a lovely layout. Great take on our "opposites" theme! The second card is beautiful and a super example of a Valentines card. I don't really do them either, but this one is so pretty it might change my mind! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

  13. Hi Gerrina! I saw your second card on the Just add Ink Challenge, so I decided to come and take a look at your blog. I love both your Valentine Cards, the first one because I really like Art Noveau designs, your mirror image card is lovely. The second card I like because I love hearts, they are are always to be seen in my absent-minded doodling while I am on the phone or attending lectures / talks.

  26. Hi Gerrina, both of these cards are beautiful. Your clean style is wonderful. Thanks for your thoughts regarding Facebook vs blogging and what you say is true. I think I just need to keep a balance between finding time for art and not spending too much on blogs. Actually the last year or so, I've cut back my time blogging and commenting. I find Facebook easier but yes you don't see everything and the newsfeed gets too 'clogged' with advertising etc. I'll try to continue to find the balance. Thanks again for your words... Shirley xx
