It's a very quick post as I've had a horrible cold for the last couple of weeks - I'd go as far as to call it the cold from hell! Malcolm has had it too and one of my sons as well. I expect there are quite a lot of you out there who have struggled with the bugs yourselves recently?! So I've very little energy for a long post.
I have pictures tonight of just a few makes from our last Hochanda shows. I particularly like the colours in these especially the purples, yellows and greens. I am on Hochanda again on the 24th January at 3pm and 7pm. Lesley Wharton, from Chocolate Baroque, has kindly agreed to demo along with me to bring a touch of artistic variety! We are very excited indeed!!
Here is a tryptych card, with a bit of lace in the arrangement - this is a great format to use to bring several different images together in a pleasing way...
Images do work so well together in threes. I teamed one of the pretty tags we have on sheets here with two popular stamps CI-302 and CI-415. The only rules seem to be that the colours work together and although the sizes of images may vary a bit the finished height is the same when matted and layered.
Here is another, although there are four different elements together here rather than three, combining CI-185 with CI-411...
I also used similar colours on this beauty below, again featuring CI-302 and one of those fabulous Scrapiniec laser cut items...
I also put together a card using a variety of our images along with our latest postcard stamp - love that stamp!!
Also loving that pretty heart laser cut frame!
That's it for this evening,
Back soon,
Jean x

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Great combining of colours. They looking so beautifully on the creations. Fantastic done!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Jean, I love the composition of images and the lovely colours.

Absolutely stunning cards! Gorgeous colours and wonderful images. I am looking forward to your shows. I hope you feel better really soon, take good care of yourself! Malcolm and your son too! xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous Jean and love the colours. Sorry to hear you have been suffering, and I must say there seems to be a lot of it around at the moment. I hope you are soon feeling 100% again. Thank you for showing these pretty creations. x
ReplyDeleteLove those feminine and pretty makes, Jean! The laser cuts look great on these too.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only one who managed to dodge the "lurgy" here, which I believe to be the full blown flu. The vaccine didn't seem to protect entirely either! I hope you feel better soon.
Ok wow, they all are so appealling! Love the colours; it looks so sunny and fresh and they all have a great feminine feel! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteBeautiful samples Jean, and very feminine. The laser cut dies work so well with you images. This nasty cold really seems to be taking its toll and I hope that you’re all feeling better soon. I’m looking forward to seeing your shows on the 24th and it’s lovely to hear that Lesley will be joining you. Take care and get well soon. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
