Tag riddle - part 1

Sheesh! 2 months to Christmas!!

I am waiting for my Christmas card supplies to arrive. Last year I made cards and sold at a charity event - 70 of them found new mantel pieces. I know exactly what I'll be doing every single free moment once my parcel has arrived :))

If you like Christmas home decor pieces, save Tuesday, 11 November in your calendar! I'll be up on Live With Prima with a Scandinavian Christmas project at 7 p.m./UK time or 8 p.m. CET.

Back in August I made tags for a riddle that a birthday girl was to figure out. Each tag has a letter and all tags form a sentence. 10 tags all in all. I'll share them with you in a couple of posts.

Here are the  first. Serious stash raiding - all papers are DCWV Linen Closet and all embellies and blooms are from my box of loose Prima.






It is nearing the time of the year when I always go to 
the European Management Assistants' Annual 
General Meeting.
This is year is special as we have our 40th anniversary.

Last year it was in London and this year it's in
LA BELLE PARIS!! whohoo! T minus 4 days!

Thanks a bunch for peeking in!

Second take on the Prima October BAP 2014

Hi ya!

Autumn is in full swing and leaves are falling off the trees. The apple trees look so beautiful, almost bare except for the fruit that are like colourful dots in the gardens where it has not been picked.

I really really love Jennifer Snyder's sketch for the Prima October BAP so I made a second take on it. This time I removed the square that indicates the photo and went with the flow of details only. Here's the sketch again to jog your memory, I rotated it the same way I did for my first take.


Another 8 x 8 little thing on water colour paper. The colour scheme is different on this one compared to my first take that was in russet hues;

Prima October BAP 2014 - Life

Hello weekend, hello you!

Said bye bye to my boss today. He's going on a business trip to Nepal among a couple of other exotic spots on the map. So look forward to hearing about his adventures when he comes back. His itinerary mentioned a helicopter ride up on Himalaya. Dropped hints about pashmina shawls being the thing to bring back home ... :))

I haven't been able to play early in the month with the Prima BAPs or PPPs for quite a while but this time I actually prioritized some creative me-time instead of doing a mountain of laundry. Ah well, one's got to catch the inspiration when it comes on a visit don't you think!

First the beautiful BAP sketch by Jennifer Snyder that I rotated like this. 

I was inspired by the diagonal flow and the circular shape in the centre and created an 8" x 8" little something on water colour paper.

 
Here is my take, letting the photos speak for themselves.

In the August/September issue I had another canvas featured in the Inspiration Station article - Where Souls Blossom.

It was all about misting.

This was my starting point; white and cream Prima blooms and a table full of mists!




SO many different mulberry blooms, different
shapes, different sizes, different textures. Just yummie!

Here is the misted and masked base that I used
as starting point.


And here is the result of day 1.
I continued the next day when all mists had dried.
