Sending some love.

Today I like to share a card I made for an aunt wich is seriously ill. Last weeks I tried out a stampset by "WPlus9 Design Studio". The name of this stampset is "Watercolored Anemones". I tried several inks and papers, using this stampset, and always get a wonderful result! The more I use it, the more I love it!


On this card I used VersaMagic Inks. The butterflies are Hero Arts. The dutch sentiment by Different Colors says: "Much love".

Groningen

My last blogpost was already months ago. So now I decided it was more than time for a new blogpost! And because my job for the moment ( a job as a substitute teacher) takes a lot of my time and attention, I think it would be nice to share some photo's of a little outing we last had. My husband and I went to the northern part of our country, to Groningen.


The tower is the "Martini" tower. It is wellknown in the Netherlands. It is the tower of a church, but what I like most of it is the little house at the foot of that tower. It is a sexton's house, now used as a restaurant.


And look at these houses, aren't they beautiful?!


I never before visited Groningen. So for me everthing was new, and I loved it! Lovely stores and squares.





And fine restaurants. What do you think of this one? It is more like a monument!


Hope you enjoyed your visit and little tour through the city centre of Groningen.

Paris

We still are shocked about what happenend in Paris. Everywhere you come, people are talking about it. And what is more, there are prayers too. As yesterday evening at the concert of Paul Baloche in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. It is great to be united in prayer and praise, even more in times of tears.
So, here is a card I made for Church, last summer. It is good to share it here now.





The postcard stamp is Hero Arts. The pen stamp is Impression Obsession. And the rose is so beautiful! Used it a lot!

Thanks for visiting!

Texture

Today I want to share a card I made for Virginias Vieuw Challenge.
This months theme is : Texture.
There are so many ways you can add texture on your cards to give it more dimension, but on my card today I used embossing paste.


The card was very easy to make. First I used a stencil by "Dutch Doobadoo" and added embossingpaste over it, wich was first colored with "Brusho" Olive Green. Then I cut a banner wich is "My Favorite Things". The sentiment is "Hero Arts" and the Poinsettia is "Clearly Besotted". Finished it with red gemstones and red ribbon. Ready!
This card is very tradional, but I like its warmth!
Hope you like it too!
Thanks for your visit.

Celebrate

We celebrate some sunny autumn days here in the Netherlands. Wich I am very happy with! Last weeks I was busy with work and family things, as there are my birthday and autumn vacation,but I can tell that I also always find some time for a bike ride and a walk in our nearby little forest. There's not much time left for stamping, but now and then I finish a project, and this is one of them.


All stamps used are Hero Arts stamps. All images are stamped on watercolor paper and heat embossed with WOW white embossingpowder. Then colored with Distress Inks.
Hope you can find time to do things you love!
Thank you for visiting!

Inspired by...

Inspiration can come from everywhere. For me it often comes from nature, and from fellow stampers. Today I like to share a card I made inspired by Gunilla Holmqvist. I like her style! You can find her card here:
