Just playing

that fascinates me. I made a couple of ATC´s this weekend of which the one on black glossy is my favorite. Image is colored in with fluid chalks and watercolor(marker)


Stamps by Nonsequitur and Flamingo-Art

During the last weeks I kept playing with some black glossy cardstock as a working surface. This cardstock has been in my stash for ages and I´ve decided to finally use it. Glossy cardstock is not my favorite base to work on but I especially like the black one for its dramatic effects.

One of the cards I used the black glossy for is for this week´s theme of the Wednesdaystampers "think pink". Background papers are shaving cream, acrylic colors, handmade and from a paperbag.

Actually I really enjoy this time of year when sun changes signs and Urania blesses us with a certain waywardness. I can finally get back into play mood after a very disciplined Capricorn.

Robert Genn talks about getting back into the mood to play...maybe need a new toy that sparks a new idea ?
For me it is important to "detach" from all the things I´ve seen on the internet to create my very own designs and follow my ideas. I might be just doodling a bit with PS like on these mini-ATC's but that's all it needs to relax and start over.....
