Cards ...

Hiya girls ,

Some cards with new stamps again :-) All stamps are from Stampingback , except the quote ... Backgrounds are done with liquid watercolor, also from Stampinback !!

Some people asked me what I am gonna do with all those cards ..... and the answer is ... I don't know !!! I send them , but my family and most of my friends , they don't apreciate handmade cards ... I send cards to close internet friends ....

But most of the cards are in boxes , if I stop making cards now, I will have more than enough to send the rest of my life ! Sometimes I wanna stop , if I see all those boxes ....... but I just like making them !!

Thanks for looking !!

hugs, Patti

Serenity (again)

Hiya girls ,

For me this gorgeous stamp from Artistic Outpost is just perfect if you want to make some simple , classy cards ... the stamp is beautiful enough !!!

For both cards I made the background with the brayer, dye inks and some watermist ...

Thanks for looking !!

Hiya girls ,

Yessss, I started a new pair of socks ...... This times there's a pattern in the socks and it is called Victorie .

The yarn that I am using is from Regia and until now I really don't like the colors .... actually I hate that yellow and orange .... I hope the other colors will brighten up the socks a bit, LOL

Hiya girls ,

First of all I wanna thank you all for your sweet comments about my doggies !!! Nope, I didn't knit them by myself .. lol..

Yes, i knitted that sweater about 20 years ago ( OMG I am gettin old !!!) and it's still wearable..

Wendy , you are so right !! The dogs really don't like when I sit down to knit, they want me to play with them !!:-)

Playing with colors

Hiya girls ,

If it is with inks or with yarns , I allways love to play with colors ... when I make ATC's , usually I make 2 or 3 with the same image but with different colors ... I love to see the difference a color can do with an image .

Those ATC's are colored with liquid watercolor on semi glossy paper , I heat embossed all sides with gold ...

This wonderful stamp is from Artistic Outpost .....

Thanks for looking !!

hugs, Patti

Socks :-)

Hiya girls ,

Yep, another pair of socks is finished !!! Usually I don't care about the colors , as long as you can see the socks are from the same yarn, it's okey to me .... but with this Kaffe Fasset yarn I wanted to knit 2 socks who are the same .. Because I didn't want to disturb the colorpattern I made an afterthoughtheel in those socks ..

So... what color I shall put on my needles now ?? :-)

Thanks for looking !!

hugs, Patti
