Passing on blog award and wedding card

Hi my friends,

Something extraordinary happened few days ago. I was honored with the Renee Award, my very first award!!! Thank you again, Linda http://butterflydream27.blogspot.com/ !


The rules are that now I need to pass it on to another six blogs. Very hard job to choose only six from so many blogs I really love... Sigh...


But, finally I made up my mind, so here are the ones that will receive this award from me:


Wyanne Thompson http://wyartjewels.blogspot.com/ from USA and
Monica Zuniga http://monicazuniga.blogspot.com/ from Mexico
for their interesting and inspirational blogs, for their wonderful, amazing art,
for their captivating, high quality classes and their truly beautiful hearts.

Malin a.k.a. Boop http://cardsbyboop.blogspot.com/ and
Else Irene http://elsi67.blogspot.com/, both from Norway,
for their delightful blogs and their classy, elegant cards and so much more.

Julie-Ann http://heavenleighart.blogspot.com/ form United Kingdom,
for yet another wonderful blog and for her simply beautiful, ethereal but deep and profound paintings that are warming your heart and for the wonderful person that she is.
Cristina Zinnia Galliher http://zinniasart.blogspot.com/ from USA,
for her, yet again, beautiful, interesting blog, works of art and for the beauty of her spirit.

Please, take few minutes and visit all these amazing ladies and, believe me, you'll be more than rewarded!

And now, I would like to share with you a card that I made for the wedding of my sister's sister in law who will get married very soon. Is she, by any chance, a kind of a sister in law for me too??LOL
Anyway, she is a very good and true friend and here is the card.
I decorated also the inside of the card and I made a pocket for a greeting and a special gift.
And the back of the card, with my personal stamp.
I used Coredinations cardstock, Papirdesign and Graphic 45 designer papers, Spellbinders die cutting templates and Cuttlebug embosing folder, scrapper's floss, beads, punches from Fiskars and SU, Distress inks, say it in pearls from Prima, roses, ribon, metal from Unik Hobby, stamps from Hero Arts and Stempelglede. The image is from the net and the text is printed on PC with HansHand font.
Thank you for visiting my blog,
Hugs,
Sanda xx

Finished canvas

Hi,

Another quick post, just to share with you my new canvas.
It's called " I gave you my heart" and I used acrylic paints, watercolor pencils and crayons, stamps, inks, tissue paper, dimensional fabric paint, designer paper,crackle gloss medium, pressed flowers, say it in pearls, buttons and Copic multi liner.
I used techniques that I've learnt when I was doing the courses Mixed Media With The Girls and Art Play with Wyanne Thomson and some learnt from Milliande, another wonderful artist. The canvas is sealed with faux beeswax ( Wyanne recipe).
But most of all, I played, enjoyed and had great fun! And I really put my heart in it.
So, here is my fairy-angel dreaming her love. And here is a close up.

The text is a quotation by St. Augustine, " Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the heart." Isn't this just great?

Thank you for your visit,

Hugs,

Sanda xx
