Gooood Friday dear friends, (Dérouler l'écran, pour la version française)
How special this challenge is ! No. 14 on the 14th... I love making associations! Christina and I were just wondering where to look for something different, there are many challenges on the "market", with various themes. I had an idea: what about a song... Christina came up with Happy days are here again. The first thing that came to my mind was Harry Winkler as the Fonz, and Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham... Perhaps Edwin could be brought to play one of them?? I just could not find anything that pleased me. Then, I listened to the song by Brabra Streisand and Judy Garland. I found myself singing all day...And the idea came. I would showcase Tilda on a journey to happiness... The freedom of just walking in nature. And I would also add a little personal challenge. I always loved watercolor for its transparency and fluidity. I did take courses, workshop and never went beyond this, it's a long list mishaps. I felt it was time to give myself a chance to see if I could hold a brush and do something with it. Whathever would happen I would post my work. And my first attempt at the scenery, was not very conclusive, I decided to start all over. Painting Tilda was another story, I have never done skin. It's kind of tricky to mix ink and find a proper shade, I also had my Copics technique in mind, and did not know if the same shading could be found with inks. Working on a wet surface, is totally different than blending on a paper that absorbs slowly! And this is what I came up with. It was a happy day inded. I reconcile with my brushes, Tilda must really be an angel. Hope it brings sun in your day. Oh! Happy Days!
Bon vendredi chères amies,
C'est notre 14 défi, et nous sommes le 14! Tout à fait spécial! J'aime faire ce genre d'association... Cette semaine Christina et moi se demandions bien quel défi nous allions relever. Ce n'est pas cela qui manque! Mais nous voulions quelque chose de différent pour nous inspirer. Je lui ai proposé un thème musical, une chanson... Elle m'est revenue avec Happy Days are Here Again! Certains se rappelleront une émission de télé mettant en vedette HenryWinkler dans ce rôle inoubliable de Fonzie; d'autres entendront une toute jeune BArbra Streisand et Judy Garland chanter ce thème... Je me demandais bien quelle inspiration allais venir, j'ai bien pensé faire porter le rôle de Fonz à Edwin... mais, non. Puis, je me suis surprise à chanter Happy Days toute lajournée, pour voir Tilda prendre la route du bonheur! Mais ce n'est pas tout, je voulais me donner un grand défi personnel. J,ai ressorti récemment mes pinceaux. J'adore l'aquarelle, pour sa transparence et sa légèreté. Je me suis dit qu'il était temps que je me mouille. Peu importe le résultat de mon coloriage, il allait être publié dans cette chronique. Je me suis permis de recommencer le paysage, je n'aimais pas beaucoup mon vert!Mais Tilda est l'original. C'est la première fois que j'expérimentais le coloriage à l'encre distress, ce fut une "Happy day". Entre l'aquarelle et moi, il y a une suite de rendez-vous ratés, qui ont entraîné une certaine capitulation. Il était temps, de retrousser mes manches. Voilà, le résultat. Tilda doit être un ange, elle m'a certainement tenu la main. J,espère que cette cène mettra beaucoup de soleil dans votre journée.
Merci d'être venu me visiter, et passer une belle journée..
Défi/Challenge:
7 kids college fund Challenge - Hot -Cold.
Just Magnolia - My favourite Things ( Sunshine is my favourite thing)
Recipe/ Recette:
Stamps/ étampes: Tilda with backpack available at Diana's Magnolia-licious.
Floral background also available at Diana's.
I stamped the background on Bristol paper, however, Tilda is stamped on 140 lb watercolor paper. I have used Distress Inks and Stampin Up: Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Shabby shutter, peeled paint, weathered Woods, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Tea Dye, Pumice Stone, Black Soot; in SU, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom, Summer Sun, Bashful blue.
The lovely frame is cut with Reminisce Cricut Cartridge . The floral corner is a Cuttlebug die cut. The fence is from Magnolia Doo Hickey, No 12 Lovely Fence also from Magnolia-licious, and leaves are also from Magnolia. The sentiment is from Stampin up set, Saisir la vie and the tag was cut with Reminisce cartridge. The DP's and the cardstock are Stampin Up. Flowers and ribbon, from my stash; the flowers were colored with Distress ink to match shades of pink.
J,ai utlisé du papier Bristol pour l'étampe de fonds, mais du papier aquarelle, 140lb, pour Tilda. Les couleurs d'encres sont les suivantes: DistressInks: Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Shabby shutter, peeled paint, weathered Woods, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Tea Dye, Pumice Stone, Black Soot; Stampin Up: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom, Summer Sun, Bashful blue.
C'est avec la cassette Reminisce de Cricut que j'ai coupé le cadre ainsi que l'étiquette. Le sentiment provient du jeu Saisir la vie deStampin Up. Le coin en fleur est une découpe de Cuttlebug; la cloture et les feuilles sont de Magnolia (Doo Hickey). Les fleurs et les rubans de mon inventaires, les fleurs sont colorées avec les distess pour s'agencer parfaitement avec les teintes choisies.
