Hi Everybody!
It's time for a new challenge at
Simon Says Monday blog
and our theme this time is
🎇 Party🎇
This is my third and last week as Guest DT
there, and the challenge will be running
for 2 weeks, which gives you plenty
of time to party in real life and to
join in! Thanks again to the great team
there for asking me, and especially to Lols for her help
and patience showing me how to get the links etc done
correctly!

One entry is chosen each week and wins a fabulous
gift voucher!
I made an A3 journal page. For the background I painted a layer of Gesso
and textured it using a swirl design stamp. The figures were made with a
home-made stencil and a Faber
Castell Big Brush Pen. I used home made acrylic
paint sprays to colour the background, and diverse small stencils for the
'confetti'. The lettering was done by hand. I added some ribbon scraps for my dancers to wave.
I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR entry at the challenge!
Some photos from this weekend -

The Rhine is full to the brim, but it was good
to see some blue skies:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

I have really enjoyed my time with you all, thanks for asking me and thanks again for all your help.
DeleteAre you and your partner going to dance the night away? It's what I thought when I first saw this beautiful page. It was wonderful that you got to be a guest designer, and I love each of the projects you created, too. This one is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe water in the Rhine looks very cold. I hope you don't catch cold from the wind it gives off. Have a super day and thanks for sharing this awesome art.
Such a fun party piece Valerie! Beautiful photos today, love the light and shadow one.
ReplyDeleteI love your journal page, it's so festive with the bright colors and the fun dancing image. The background is fabulous too and goes so well with the theme. It's been fun having you here with us on the challenge. Thanks for sharing your talent with us and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

your entry is beautiful!! Perfect for celebration!!! The photos are so winter like ,, I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun piece today!!!! Love it ♥♥ The photos are great too and I love seeing the river so full and flowing. Ours are all very low from the drought. I'm trying to do some baking and candy making today and it hasn't been going as planned so far... out of practice I guess :(
ReplyDeleteReally fun page. Great for New Year's. Nice photos. Your light and shadow shot is stunning. hugs, Teresa
ReplyDeletegreat post today ;O)
ReplyDeleteYou page truly captures the feel of party! Just looking at it, I feel ready to join in and party too!
ReplyDeleteSo full of movement, they are reaally swinging away, - a brilliant stencil and a fabulous page! And wow, the river is full, but so beautiful! I have wonderful memories of travelling by train along the Rhine from Holland to Mannheim, and of course loved hearing the stories of Die Lorelei and the Pied Piper of Hameln, though what that story has to do with the Rhine I don't know, but my mum always used to tell it when we were on that train... (I had relatives who lived near Mannheim, so we went there most years)...
ReplyDeleteIts a fabulous fun party page. Those dancers look like they are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteThe photos of the Rhine look beautiful ,its a wonderful blue sky.
