Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy! I'm planning on enjoying a quiet and restful one here, but hope you have fun whatever you have planned.
I have a hybrid page to share today. The background was painted, stamped and crackled and then added to my graphics programme. The figures are ones I drew and cut out for another project, and have re-used here. The together quotes and frame are from Serif.
I also have another tag for Tag Tuesday - black, white and a spot of colour, using another of my self carved stamps:
The photos were taken on a walk along the Rhine and through our little town 10 days back, and the difference in the amount of greenery between then and now is amazing:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Your journal spread is beautiful. The images you drew and cut out are wonderful. I am so in awe of this entry. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI also like your tag because I am in LOVE with your hand carved stamps. This is wonderful and shows how talented you are.
Even for 10 days ago, your springtime weather is so much further along than ours. Enjoy the spring beauty like I did the photos. Great bull sculpture.
Hi Val, hope you will have a great and restful Saturday. Love the journal spread, those men look so cool! Great stamp, too - I am also a fan of your artisan stamps, they really have character. Your weather is about the same as ours, the trees in the garden are all green now, so that's great. Take care, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteOops commented on the window display a bit early sorry.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving your journal pages, the cut outs look fabulous against those lovely textured backgrounds that you created! Your tag is amazing too, I love the stamp that you made and the pop of yellow is wonderful đ. I always enjoy walking along the Rhine with you and it makes me happy to see the blue skies and sunshine too! Have a great weekend! J đ x

ReplyDeleteSchönes Wetter ist bei dir am Rhein und die LÀden ach schön so zu bummeln...

I like the colors and how your cutouts really stand off the page. Your rubber stamp carving is amazing. I enjoyed your walk today. The florist really knows how to entice people into the shop. Love the blue lingerie though it looks better on the mannequin than it would on me. (-: Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page, stamp carving and photos. Beautiful color and texture throughout!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie great page my friend and such pretty pics,thankyou for sharing my friend xx

Wow! That carved stamp is really amazing and it looks so good with the yellow. Love it! Super photos too!
ReplyDeleteDeine Journalseiten mit dem gehackten Hintergrund sind klasse und der Rabenstempel ist auch sehr gut gelungen. Von deinen Fotos gefĂ€llt mir das mit der Blumendeko auf dem Stuhl so gut, aber auch alle anderen Fotos sind gut gemacht. Es ist schön, daĂ endlich FrĂŒhling ist. Schönes Wochenende .

Its a great journal spread, I love the cut out silhouette figures you used. Its a fantastic tag with your own carved stamp as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos it is good to see the fresh greens and the trees with their leaves. I liked seeing in the shop windows as well.
Enjoy your weekend.

Love your backgrounds! They turned into wonderful pieces. Great photos. Thank you for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteOnce that green starts to come out it can't stop, can it? I love seeing your photos tonight since our 2 days of warmer weather (no blue skies though) are going to be ice and maybe even a bit of snow tomorrow. Love your cool people on your journal spread. Using the crackle gives it a lot of depth. Hope its a great weekend so far. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGreat Journal Layout! Love all of the textures and colors. Your Spring photos look great... we are so late with Spring this year it scares me to think of what Summer will be like.
ReplyDeleteFabulous journal page with that added crackle and so nice to see the evidence of sunshine within your beautiful photography, it's amazing how a little sun illuminates the sky. We had a lovely sunny day here yesterday so made the most of it, today I think the weather has yet to decide what the day will bring.
ReplyDeleteSunday Hugs Tracey xx
