Hi Everybody!
It's time for the weekend, have a good one!
I have another A3 mixed media piece. The BG was brayered in white with a touch of pink and turquoise. The rectangles, flowers and dots were embossed with a soft mousse through a stencil, this has a wonderful, chalky effect. The quote is from the secret garden. The swan was added using one of the wonderful napkins Yvonne sent me, thanks again! I guess I am longing for spring!
I am linking to Paint Party Friday and to Paperbabe Stamps Blog, dots.
Yesterday the sun rose up through the morning mist:
Some blue-sky and frosts temps pics from the Rhine:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What a lovely post to end my day on the computer. The napkin from Yvonne is a lovely addition and I just love your touch of mixed media.
ReplyDeleteYour photos, wow, that blue colour is amazing, thanks for sharing your part of the world to mine, love seeing them.xx
Have a lovely weekend.♥

This is so lovely Valerie, beautiful Spring colours and you can tell that the swan is longing for Spring too. Love that quote, I've not heard it before but it's perfect. Have a fun weekend, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteWunderschöne frühlingshafte Seite, passend zu eurem Wetter. Aber hier bei mir liegt Schnee und es ist frostig kalt. Deine Fotos transportieren herrlich den Sonnenschein zu uns rüber, danke.

Beautiful artwork! The textures and colours are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful mixed-media piece! I love it! Very nice photos as well!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the swan on your mixed media page Valerie. The colours of spring look beautiful. I think we are all wishing those days to arrive. Its still grey here, so it was lovely to see your super photos today.
ReplyDeleteYvonne xx
Oh that's such a wonderful spring piece, I love the colors and textures. You photos are lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely it is to see a little sunshine, I had almost forgotten what it looked like. Your A3 is a beautiful display Valerie, delicate use of colours with your glorious swan peeping out. Such a pretty napkin. Thank you for sharing and joining in with the Paperbabe Challenge.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and have a fabulous weekend Tracey x
Yes your art today definitely screams SPRING ♥♥♥ Love the blue of the water shots today. It's a quiet evening here today with just me and the dogs. Bob is out with friends from work. Have a good weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, your page has such a softness and serenity about it - I love it! The colours and stencils look amazing - beautiful 😁. The sunrise through the morning mist and wonderful blue skies are so pretty, and let's hope spring is on its way, although I think that we have more snow forecast for next week 😉. Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL page and GREAT images, Valerie. As always!!!!!!!! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing so many journal pages with napkins as of late. Very intriguing this technique. I love the bold colors of the napkin against the soft pastel patterns.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Valerie.

Beautiful page! I love the swan peeping out! Have you gone on boat trips on the river? Looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do nice trips from Spring through to Autumn, but in winter there's nothing.
DeleteLove the colours on your page- Spring is on it's way! Lovely photos of the Rhine! Enjoy your weekend!Chrisx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful page Valerie! I love the stenciled flowers you added- great texture!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh the Sun!! How beautiful! and the warmth I felt looking at your photos made my morning!
hugs,Jackie xx
I love this piece. So soft and warm, like looking at sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYour piece is the essence of spring. We have a fresh, deep snowfall, one that seems like it will take forever to melt. You remind me of the spring that will indeed come.
ReplyDeleteThis wonderfully colorful and eclectic piece makes my eyes happy.
ReplyDeleteYour art piece is so happy! I love the quote!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! Love them!
Big Hugs!
