Hi Everybody!
It's been a cold, grey and rainy day today, but we badly need the rain, so I'm not complaining, especially as we had a sunny day yesterday.
For Joan's challenge 'Tic tac toe' at Tag Tuesday I have another tag, this time using the bottom row of the grid, stenciling (cat and mouse), punch (corners) and ribbon at the top, and all done digitally - it's fun playing with a digital airbrush for the stenciling. The background is hand-painted:
Yesterday was cold but sunny, and I enjoyed an extra walk along the Rhine just before the sun went down:
And of the way back home I passed by the 'winter-village', our little Christmas market:
My fave booth - Reibekuchen!
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Val, I love your fun tag, my little'un has been singing the song with me. I can't imagine how to create it digitally, but you've done a great job. Wonderful photos from the sunset and Christmas market. Did you have any Reibekuchen? I made some today. Have a great evening, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeletethat's a wonderful tag!! Your artists eye truly captured some beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Valerie!
ReplyDeleteYour digital tag is absolutely gorgeous!
Love the theme with the cat and the mouse and the hand made background!
Well done!! Very beautiful pictures from the gorgeous sunset !
I’m sure you find many interesting things to buy from the Christmas market!
It’s cold and cloudy here too! Have a warm and relaxing evening! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!

Thanks so much dear Dimi!
DeleteI adore the tag. Who wouldn't love seeing a cat play with a mouse. It is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas market is something we don't get here, so I was thrilled to see what they have to offer in your town. Wonderful photos of all those goodies. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, dear.
If only cats and mice would play nicely together, its a great tag.
ReplyDeleteThe photos over the Rhine looked beautiful and so did the ones of your market.
Its very cold and wet here as well, staying in days as I am still coughing and sneezing.
Have a good weekend.

Fun illustration of that nursery rhyme, and a view of the Cat as she sees herself ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish we had an outdoor Christmas Market like that. It looks like such a festive holiday space.
Your cat and mouse piece is fabulous. Love the colors and the black contrast.
ReplyDeleteThe walk along the Rhine looks like it was lovely- such beautiful colors. And that Christmas Market- I want to go! It looks so festive. :) Thanks for sharing!

Hello Valerie, your pussycat tag is really fun how you've brought everything together. Using digital airbrushing is fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent sunset photos you've taken, they're stunning and every single one would look gorgeous framed and hung.
The outdoor Christmas Market is so inviting with the lighting, colours and beautiful things for sale. Beautiful! Enjoy your Sunday :D)
Sunrise and sunset are always so special.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous kitty piece and I love your photos too!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL POST.XXX
ReplyDeleteLovely digital art! Thanks for taking us through the winter market!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitty-she is a huntress and queen, isn't she? And I always find these Christmas market fascinating. We don't have them here but one day I would like to visit one. And beautiful sunsets too. We had a nice "winter" day today. Warmer but still hat and jacket weather. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLove your tag especially the black cat and the crown is so fitting. The setting sun along the Rhine gives the landscape a magical glow. The Christmas market looks like so much fun. Nothing like that here.
ReplyDeleteCats rule!
DeleteA terrific tag Valerie with some great ideas
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are wonderful and you always get amazing effects and reflections on the sun ones
How lovely to have the Christmas market to visit. I bet the air is full of delicious food smells
Love Chrissie xx
Great tag for those prompts, I really would not know where to start digitally but as my youngest Son tells me "it's easy Mom".. It's *Easy* for him to say that as he's in his final year of doing his Masters in Digital Art hee hee!!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your Christmas Market, hope you stopped off for a treat or two?
Sunlight through the trees gives a warming feeling, your photographs are magnificent!
Happy Sunday Hugs Tracey xx
It's easy if you know how, but it still sometimes takes longer than making things by hand. But I enjoy the process!
Deleteoh Wow,I would love to visit your Christmas market! I enjoyed your photography very much, and I love your kitty and mouse art piece-Happy weekend hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteThe markets here are really very pretty.
DeleteSomeday I want to go to the Christmas markets. They look so pretty, I know I couldn't resist and it would be a dangerous place. But I would love it!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is wonderful Valerie, and beautiful sunrises!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy Monday!
