Hi everybody!
Hope you are having a good day.
I had a busy day today, with laundry, chopping veggies and cooking. While the first machine was washing I went out for an hour's power walking with Nordic walking sticks along the Rhine, and got back just in time to race up the stairs and get the second bundle of laundry to be washed. I sometimes wonder who gets it all dirty, surely it can't just be me?
I chopped the veggies while the second lot of laundry was washing,and made a card while my one-pot was cooking.
I used another of the lovely Gecko Galz collage sheets (owling for you), and printed my image onto canvas again. I matted it onto some leather-look paper, then a piece of dark brown miri-card, and a sheet of designer paper. I added a strip of white sacking tied with some thin brown ribbon, a Prima flower and 2 beads rolled from the leather paper. The leaves were die cut, stamped and embossed. This will be another male birthday card.
Here I have made 2 very simple one layer cards for the 'trees' chalenge at So Artful. We are to use orange and one other colour. I used a CWS stencil for the trees.
And last but not least, the cabbage I showed yesterday joined some leeks, carrots, tomatoes, celery root and red peppers in a delicious veggie one-pot, which I served with sour cream and crusty bread:
Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Love your cards, especially the owly one, and that soup looks sooooooooooo yummy! Hugs, Sarah

DeleteLove the owl card, so many layers and so much detail, and those beautiful beads. Your trees card is beautiful in its simplicity.
ReplyDeleteAs for the soup, I think it would do me good if I could sit down to a bowlful of that just now - feeling shaken up from a little mishap. The photo of the soup is a work of art in itself.
Sorry you had a mishap, and hope you are feeling better. Sending you virtual soup and hugs!
DeleteThose cards look so amazing! I love that stencil. You put them together so nicely. Really pretty. And that stew looks sooo delicious! I'm going to eat soup for lunch now :)
ReplyDeleteYou have had an energetic and productive day Valerie! Your one pot sounds yummy, especially with the bread and cream! I'm doing a roast dinner tonight, a lot of work but it's just what I fancy! Beautiful cards too, love the owls on canvas. Xx
ReplyDeleteDid you say a roast dinner - I might just pop over!

ReplyDeletefablehafte Arbeiten Valerie.. und wie lecker Deine Suppe aussieht! fabelhaft!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy day. Your trees are superb, I like both, especially the sun one which is very effective, but the other one, with the leaves, is excellent too. It's always nice to see you over at Soartful.
ReplyDeleteYour veggie pot looks very tasty along with the bread, yum, I might just make a similar one tomorrow.
And the owl card is sweet, a good day's work, Valerie.
Gorgeous cards and I am coming over, keep the one pot hot, lol! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteCome on, there's plenty!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so healthy! You make wonderful veggie soups and walk almost everyday. You have a wonderful hobby and make gorgeous creations. I do believe art is good for the soul. You have a lot of gorgeous nature around you and architectural delights as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the printing on canvas - looks really rich. And I do like your homemade beads. Your cards are gorgeous with beautiful colors. I really like the orange and green.
Your soup looks so delicious - did you use chicken stock? Did you use fresh tomatoes or canned. Inquiring minds want to know!
Sandy
Fresh and canned! And vegetable stock!
DeleteDie Karte mit den Eulen und den dezenten, harmonischen Farben finde ich wunderschön! Die Karten mit den Bäumen sind auch ganz toll. Besonders die Erste gefällt mir ausnehmend gut. Schön dieser Farbkontrast grün und rot! Einfach großartig!
ReplyDeleteThe owl card is so fabulous, love the way you printed onto canvas and that lovely piece of unusual trim you embellished it with and the stencil cards are such great one layer cards, really effective.
ReplyDeleteA pot full of nutrition and definitely your 5 a day in a bowl of that steaming soup.
Wishes

Fantastic projects, love how you print on canvas. It must be my printer as mine always print out looking smudged. The soup looked delicious.

That soup looks just delicious and just perfect for a cold Autumn day! I like all your projects, but the trees with the orange sun behind is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy!
ReplyDeleteThe stew looks delish. And so do the projects! Beautiful!
Wonderful cards Valerie--I have just been using one of the owl images as well--great minds think alike eh lol.
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks yummy and so colourful.
Do the sticks help when you are walking--I fancied a pair but thought it might be a gimmick?
Have a great day
Love Chrissie x
