Gothic Arch Mingle: Vintage Romance







If you know me for a while you maybe know that I´m not so much into heart designs and that most of my work isn´t romantic. Nevertheless I signed up for a Gothic Arch mingle themed Vintage Romance ...
These three arches are completely stamped, and I decided to use the same heart stamp (which isn´t my own) for all three and just playing with different couples and colours.
And as they are "stamped only" they qualify for the Wednesday Stamper´s theme "Gothic Arch".

Back home again


Christmas is over and I´m back home. All gifts are unwrapped, so here´s the tag I´ve made as a bookmark for my BIL, using one of his own photos.

Skinny Book - Q is for Quiet


The challenge for our Q page was to use historic ornament for the background. This medieval ornament reminds me of the quietness in churches or in a winter landscape so it´s perfect here.
And Quiet is the key-word for the next week: I´ll be on vacation and without internet access until Saturday, so I hope you´ll all have a merry Christmas and come back next year.

One last tag before Christmas - trying to stop making those tags ...

Light

Addictive Tags


At the moment I like to send tags instead of greeting cards, they are so much fun, and I love their size.

Umbrellas




When I saw this week´s Wednesday Stamper´s theme "umbrellas" I went to see how many umbrella stamps I have - exactly two!
So I used them to make an ATC and a Moo card. No collage today, both are completely stamped.
(Oh, I almost forgot: Zuflucht means resort!)

Skinny Book - V is for Violable


This week´s challenge for our Alphabet Skinny Book was to use some aging techniques for our letter V page. I´ve scratched and sanded my acrylic background, made it blurry and battered, and so it´s just right to illustrate the mood I wanted to illustrate: violable. Isn´t that a feeling you´d like to forget about for the rest of your life? I really hate it but think I´ve found the right symbol here, showing the individual as a target for everyone.

Inky Layers


This is what came out when I experimented with Bernie Berlin´s Inky Layers technique.

Journal "The Backyard Chook Shed"


This is my spread for Jenene´s Journal titled "The Backyard Chook Shed" - the page on the left is "safe", the one on the right (here it´s below) is "dangerous".

Skinny Book - D is for Dizzy


This week Keron wanted us to make a background marbled with shaving cream and alcohol inks. It was the first time I´ve tried this technique, and my page looked so confusing that I had no choice but "dizzy" as this week´s mood ...

It´s time for Christmas cards ...

... so here´s the first batch of them. I don´t send many cards for Christmas but like the idea of writing Christmas letters to some close friends, and I like them to be nicely packaged.

Gothic Arch Winter

Winter is this week´s theme for the Gothic Arch Challenge - I´ve chosen the three graces driving away the cold winter so that they don´t have to feel cold in their flimsy dresses ... Must be searching for my old LP with this song by the Horslips now.

Skinny Book - W is for Wing-weary and Wailful


The challenge for our W page was to use sequin waste as a stencil for the background. My angel has laid down his wings, too tired and sad to do anything but wailing.

Diamonds


Do you remember the song "Diamond Life" by Sade? Well, Albert leads his own Diamond Life in his Zetti world. This card is my entry for this week´s Wednesday Stamper´s theme "Diamonds".

Skinny Page - O is for Observant





This week´s challenge for our project was to integrate a master´s work in our O page. I´ve used Hans Baldung Grien´s portrait of Count Philipp to illustrate an observant mood.

Skinny Book - Z is for Zany


This week Keron´s challenge for us was to integrate fabric in our page for the letter Z. As you know that my book´s theme is "In the Mood" you can imagine that this wasn´t the easiest letter for me: I only found "zealous", "zestful", and of course "zany", so I chose the last one.

Frida Kahlo ATCs




Two Frida ATCs for Sigrid - the left one is called "The Shadow of my Father", the right one "Wounded".

Gothic Arch Text

Have you ever gone to bed hoping that all the words and thoughts in your head will come to a rest? This is the idea behind my entry for this week´s Gothic Arch challenge "Text". I love the quoted words by Joan Walsh Anglund which I have recently illustrated in my journal you can see here.
