Hi Everybody!
I wish you all a good start in the new week!
My new piece for 'Things with wings' at Art Journal Journey has a background printed from one of my scanned paintings. I added more colours by blending in gelatos. The circles were stamped with color box ink using a stamp from Hein Design, and the squares have been stamped using a DI pad directly onto the paper. The plants are stamps from Artemio and have been stamped with Memento 'London Fog' and highlighted with white. The dragonflies (Laurentz and Morgan) were stamped with archival black, embossed with EP extra fine, and given a few white highlights. I coloured the wings with sparkling H2Os and added Diamond stickles for a bit of shine and glitter.
I am also linking to Simon Monday Challenge, a hint of clover - the green square with the text.

The pigeons were the first Sunday visitors:
The sun tried to come through here and there:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Oh Valerie - ich liebe deine aktuelle Seite!!! Traumhafte Farben und meine geliebten Libellen darauf - wunderschön!
ReplyDeleteSagenhaft schön ist diese Seite... Hammer! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteDie Bilder sind toll.. so ist es heute bei uns ...Du hast wirklich das Wetter wieder hergeschickt!
Diese Tauben sind schön, wir haben hier so spezielle zarte graubäunliche fast beige Täubchen ab und an im Garten auf Besuch ..erst seit heuer fallen mir die auf ..und ich hab jetzt durch Zufall im Internet entdeckt, dass das Türkische Tauben sind, die seit angeblich den 30 er Jahren vermehrt auch in Mittel- und Nordeuropa heimsich werden.
Ich sollte mich viel mehr mit diesen DIngen beschäftigen... so interessant all die Rassen und ihre Lebensweisen bei den Vögeln!
Hab nen schönen Tag
♥♥♥
