CAS for the Artful Times

Being scared of the future - feeling insecure by not knowing what comes next...?

Our son now has to decide what to do with his life, our eldest daughter is in the same situation and our youngest daughter is about to change school to change her education...! All these worries.

See the changes as opportunities instead  - it is easy to say, I know, but I do wish all those youngsters out there the very, very best !

This is the card I made for Artful times where the theme is CAS (clean and simple).

The little bird is NOT the latest Dina Wakley one - I found it in a little shop in Flensburg 2 weeks ago and of course I fell in love. No brand - just beautiful...

( I painted a glossy card with panpastels, then cut it to fit the size of the card. The bird was stamped on watercolor paper and painted with neocolors. The splatter is drawing ink - just to keep it all together..)

Happy Saturday !

Stars for PanPastel

Late, but not too late!

This is the canvas I've been working on lately and with this, I enter the challenge at Pan Pastel. I tried to build up an almost "fluffy, ice-creamy" background and the stars are, of course(!), Panpastel on modelling paste through  a stencil.

Wish you all avery nice wekkend!

Fur or feathers for Artful times.

I dropped the fur and went for feathers instead.
This is my entry to artful times 15th challenge "fur or feather".

Last weekend I went to Scrapbook Werkstatt's Mega Event 2012 and there I met Felicitas Klink (one of the 2Frollein), who started the german scrap magazine "die Scrapperin".
I fell in love with Felicitas' stamps and here I use them on this tag.

I am very happy to be home again - hospital is just no fun!
I am able to move more than I thought I would be, so this is a very happy surprise. Before I went to hospital, I had prepared some backgrounds, so I still would be able to join some challenges and keep myself busy. 

I wish you all a sunny thursday!

"Autumn" for PanPastell.

I made this tag for Pan Pastels new theme "autumn".

We just got back from our holidays and Luxemburg is really still in a summer mood. Nice and warm! Hard to believe that the autumn starts next weekend...

My tag for the craft barn and panpastel

I made this tag with the panpastel colours turquoise, permanent red and yellow ochre. I wanted to try to use triadic colours of the colour wheel and this is the result. So, with this tag , I can join 2 challenges this week :

The craft barn with the colour wheel tag and
Panpastel with using two of something .

The stamps are all from l'encre et l'image and the rub-ons are from fancypants.

I was happy to use my sewing machine again - long time, no see...

Hope you all like it!

a gear tag in pan pastel

This tag is made for panpastel and for creavil at the same time.

A couple of months ago, I bought these lovely panpastel colours and now I'm learning how to use them. I love the brightness and the soft shine.

The gears were embossed and painted aswell as the background. Really enjoying my cuttlebug at the moment!
Stamp from Tim Holtz.

" Keep those wheels turning ", that's how I feel right now! But NEXT WEEK , I will calm down and relax a bit again! I will start my mini album with the photos from Brasil AND I will start my own SMASH book...

Wish you all the best!
