Hello there,

I stamped the gorgeous cover a card Winter Leaves on the background using Neocolors and water.

Than after drying I stamped the fancy leaf stem using several colors over the background. And than colored it more......it creates a painterly effect.

There are lovely sentiments with the Fall theme at Impression Obsession so I picked one of theme to use on this card.

And I am also joining the challenge ' Falling leaves' with this card.

                                                                    CONNECT
                                                                    FEEL
                                                                    CREATE
                                                                    HEAL
                                                                    DO

I could go on and on, but it's your interpretation and all is allowed as long it has to do with HANDS!


You can read all about it here( Glenda's blog) and here (the CB Ning site) I believe I was the inspirator for the challenge because I made  a hand creation with the Indian stamps  I did not showed it here but on the DT blog. You can also see the  creations of my other teamies, they are all different and all so unique! You can look on their blogs(in sidebar) or on the Ning site. We would be trilled if you want to join and show us your creation with hands! 

This was my creations with an Indian Henna painted hand using the Indian stamps.

Hallo allemaal,

Ik wil jullie vandaag vragen of je meedoet met een kleine uitdaging? Het heeft te maken met het thema HANDEN......
Wat voel je als je aan handen denkt...........
                                                               AANRAKING
                                                               VERBINDING
                                                               VOELEN
                                                               CREËREN
                                                               HELEN
                                                               DOEN
                                                               VERZORGEN
                                                               BIDDEN
Ik kan nog wel even doorgaan maar het is jouw interpretatie en alles is toegestaan zolang het met hand(en) te maken heeft.





je kunt er here( Glenda's blog) en here (the CB Ning site) alles over lezen. Ik geloof dat ik de aanzet was voor deze challenge want ik maakte destijds met de nieuwe India stempels deze hand creatie. Ik had 'm hier nog niet laten zien maar op het  DT blog. Je kunt ook de andere creaties bekijken van de teamleden, ze zijn allemaal verschillend en uniek! Hun blogs kun je vinden in de zijbalk van mijn blog. We zouden het super vinden om ook jouw hand creatie te zien, dus doe je mee?

Hier is dan mijn creatie van destijds:

These are the Indian stamps which I've been using on this creation.

Dit zijn de  Indian stempels  die ik gebruikt heb bij deze creatie.

I could write a whole story about HANDS and what they mean to me but that would be on another blog, something like 'a Miracle Life  Inspirations' LOL
I really hope you will join! You don't have to be an artist or create 'perfect' artwork whatever that might be but just enjoy en play with colours, paint, inks and anything else you want to use to give 'birth'to your hands!


Ik zou een heel verhaal kunnen schrijven over handen en wat ze voor mij betekenen maar dat zou dan een ander blog moet zijn, zoiets als 'a Miracle Life Inspirations' LOL
Ik hoop echt dat je meedoet! Je hoeft geen kunstenaar te zijn of een perfect kunstwerk te maken, wat dat dan ook moge zijn, maar gewoon genieten, spelen met kleur, verf, inkt en alles wat je zou willen gebruiken om vorm aan jouw handen te geven!

So show me YOUR HAND(S) and I will be happy!

Dus laat me JOUW HAND(EN) zien en maak me blij!

Butterfly blog linky challenge/ Vlinder challenge

Today I will join in to a butterfly blog linky challenge. You can find it on this blog: for the love of life.

This is my contribution. And of course butterflies are my favourites!

Why.........because they appeal to my feeling of the divine, transformation, and beauty! They are also so fragile.... They really make the world more beautiful. And they inspire me every time to make colourful artwork.

Butterfly greetz today, Miranda

Vandaag doe ik mee met een vlinder blog link challenge.
Je kunt de challenge vinden op dit blog: for the love of life. Dit is mijn bijdrage. En natuurlijk zijn vlinders mijn favourieten!

Waarom........omdat ze mijn gevoel voor het goddelijke, transformatie en schoonheid aanraken. Ze hebben ook zoiets teers ........ Ze maken de wereld zeker mooier! En elke keer inspireren ze me weer om kleurrijke kunstwerken te maken.

Vlinder groetjes voor vandaag, Miranda

Play date cafe challenge...............Play date cafe uitdaging

This is my contribution for the Play date cafe challenge. These are the colours to work with. I thought I give it a try with the beautiful new lady stamps of http://www.elusiveimages.com/. I stamped the lady in a mix of red and orange dye inks. Then coloured her with Derwent soft colours. Added some ultrafine glitters with my gluepen. And for the finishing touch added a ribbon with a perle buckle on her waist. Stamped the background motive with clear EP. The flowers and border are dies from http://www.crealies.nl/.

Dit is mijn bijdrage voor de Playdate cafe uitdaging. Dit zijn de kleuren om mee te werken. Ik dacht ik probeer het met de prachtige nieuwe lady stempels van http://www.elusiveimages.com/ Ik heb de lady gestempeld met een mix van oranje en rood. Daarna ingekleurd met Derwent soft colour en wat accenten gegeven met de lijmpen en ultrafine glitter. Voor de finishing touch heb ik een lintje door een parel gespje gehaald en op de taille bevestigd. Het stempelmotief op de achtergrond is gestempeld met Versamark en clear emb. poeder geheat. De bloemen en border zijn snijmallen van http://www.crealies.nl/.

For now, have a great day, greetz Miranda


Fijne dag, groetjes Miranda
