ttp://appleapricot.blogspot.com/2019/04/simply-neutrals-55-taking-break.html

This lady ,as you see ,have long left this earth , but still she is looking out for

loved ones traveling it. 

Many of you know that I always add laces to my creations, and 

also here , a bit . 

I used stencil, stamps, papers , die cut and paper flowers

onto music paper , a little crackle , and my sewing machine . 

I hope you visit Wendy, as there is much more to see over there, both

from her, and from other artists , and maybe you would like to link

your own SIMPLY NEUTRALS to her blog . 

Here we had sun for 3 days now, and it always raise the spirit .

I hope your week is lovely!!

Hugs and love

FREE - a collaged card !!

How are you all ? Since I was away last long weekend, I might have missed
some of your postings, but I hope to visit and see all your creations , soon.

For this card I used bits of a Tim Holz diecut , an old German train ticket ,

and the flower is also diecuts  mixed together.

The stamped heads I embossed with gold ,and

also wiped gold paint over the diecut fence .

There is dry embossed paper under the flower, and

I couldn`t resist to sew here and there on the mashine,

and leave hanging threads.

Tomorrow is already Friday again, so I wish you all dear friends,

a lovely weekend. 

Hugs and love

Le petit - bits of this and that !!

Paper scraps , Paper Artsy stencil , bird image ,

from old book : Bird Guide 1923-  

laces, acrylic paints and crackle medium .

I love how the heavy crackle paste have crumpled

the paper together , and have become fond of

the hanging threads , like many others !!

The wonderful find of the old book  : 

Bird Guide , Land Birds East of the Rockies, have been with

me for many years , and I have not made myself tear out pages,

until now. I desided to use it, and enjoy it , instead of

letting it stay on my shelf, and maybe have it thrown out later!! 

I`m adding this to , sweet Wen`s Simply Neutrals , and hope you

feel to go there and see her beautiful post , just click the link !

for your kind and loving comments, they mean so much to me, and

I treasure each and everyone , and you all dear friends.

WINTER CARD

Hello dear friends, seems long ago I was here, so wanted to show

a card, I recently made. 

I was inspired of the sewing done by Diana https://velvetmothstudio.blogspot.com/ 

on this beautiful post , Thank you Diana !!

I used sprays , very diluted , and two stampsets from

That`s Crafty , : Lynne`s Affirmations set 6, and Set 7 ,

and also the script stamp from their Textures Collection Stamp Set 3.

No , I`m not back on the team, but Laura showed me much kindness,

so whenever I use from her products , I will mention the shop .

I also used lovely sari ribbon , --and lace from sweet Jesse http://lace-age-girl.blogspot.com/

After stamping the tree , I sewed here and there on machine to show some 

branches more off !!  If you click the photo , you can see it better !!

Also sewed a little flower stems , and added two winter white flower heads.

The circle is a remnant from New Years eve and the fireworks !!

Thank you for your visit, it is always a joy to see you here .

Hugs and love

WINTER WHITE

Even not much winter here, yet .... I have been inspired

to create this winter white piece , using an old doily .

Remnants of white lace, 

a woolen snowflake and a tiny embroidery.

At last a lovely image and beautiful , mother of pearl looking sequins

Even we have not had real winter, I dare not wish for snow, 

as then it could happen it suddenly was over us, with full power, lol.

Already soon weekend again, so dear friend- all the best for you for a

happy and lovely weekend.

Hugs and love

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

A notebook cover / book made for dear Martina on her birthday .

As I know she loves her garden, it is the theme for it.

And yes , not my normal style , but I wanted to create with

more colors for her , and this is what came out.

There are many different fabrics, and laces, too , and I 

used paint to give a golden look ,in some places - 

Different laces , borders, and a little bling .

The first spread is decked with Tim Holz tissue ,and I made

a pocket of the beautiful embroidered fabric , which was holding 

a tag-card for Martina. Maybe you can see that the cover is made so

you can take out the book, and put inside a new one , or you could use it

for loose papers .

The velvet ribbon is tying it together when closed !! 

Here with the tag inside pocket . 

Thank you so much for looking and commenting, it means a lot to me !!

January is soon ending , and I hope your months has been a good one. 

Wishes for a lovely new week to you all.

Hugs and love

MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE !

This started with a under-paper  -used to spare my table for paint

and texture paste  -, to which I adhered music paper,

Danish poems papers and after sprayed with same tone as

already on the under-paper - 

The beautiful Catherine Moore stamp was fussy cut and adhered

on top , and teabag paper added underneath her . The sweet ,wonderful

apple stamp, which I received from my lovely friend Donna, thank you my sweetest friend-- , was also stamped and then fussy cut , and Lynne`s beautiful flower was stamped directly onto the 

paper . 

The woman , apple ,and flower ,all was treated with lovely 

Beeswax, -a gift from my dear friend Lynne , -I gave it several

layers, (sorry you cant see it ) and it stands so beautiful and

shiny after having been buffed a bit with a soft cloth .Thank you my dear Lynne.

Also she got a little extra hair from black threads :-) 

You can see the great effect from the spraying ! I also added 

both lace and rough rope band ,  sewn to the collage, on sewing machine ,

leaving long ends of black thread to hang ,--the lovely postmark and stamped a

line from Lynne`s Affirmations , onto corrugated cardboard , were adhered. 

The paper was adhered to craft card , and a knitting yarn

was added to hang the collage.

So we already have Friday again, and here it is still

very mild, -no snow, and only rain , but I saw the sun today,

and that was wonderful !!

Hugs and love to you all,

and a happy weekend
