I think there are quite a number of bloggers who are
very excited at the moment about the return
of Simply Neutrals Tuesday party
which Wen Sylvestre of
has so generously decided to host again after a break last year!
As it turns out I was just creating some new artwork
for Valentine's Day for my Etsy shop
and, how lucky was I, that I was able to include
my creations in the event today!
So firstly I have two cards to share along
the St. Valentine's
theme
and this more romantic card
where I used some of the eco-dyed paper I created
and posted about in my last post.
Below are some collaged hearts (naturally)
symbolizing the innocence and purity
of love and meaningful
relationships.
"Reaching out" to a loved one!
then sharing special long time
friendships!
and finally
those companionships which are
treasured and last forever!
Some very old antique lace and tattered embroidered silk
have been incorporated in these treasures of love!
These hearts and the first card shown on this post
are available in my Etsy shop
now for your perusal!
Now please click on this link above at AppleApricot blog
if you wish to see all other bloggers sharing their
neutrals
as well as joining the party if you wish - the more the merrier!
Thanks so much dear Wen again for allowing all of this inspiration
available to us again for the coming New Year!
Many thanks to all of my wonderful supporters and kind bloggers
for visiting and always leaving such encouraging
comments!
Love and hugs,
Suzy xox
Yay, I'm first to respond! How great of Wen to host Simply Neutrals again, and thanks for reminding me, too. What a feast for the eyes, Suzy! Droolworthy! I LOVE the eco-dyed paper, so intriguing, and that little picture of the boy and girl holding hands and walking through a leafy glade is one I've loved since I was a teenager. A tremendously great photo, which you've displayed so beautifully with its vintage laces and buttons on the heart. I never tire of looking at your creations - you are always trying something new.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day,

Hello sweet friend, thank you so much for your shout out and link up to Simply Neutrals! I really appreciate that. I love how we all come together again :) Your artwork is beyond gorgeous, my dear. There is so much depth, the colour tones, the way you layer and gather, so beautiful and rich. And I love the theme for these works you share today, the warmth, friendship, and love, for ever. It is what is most important in our lives, isn't it? Sending you big hugs and love, xx
