Vandaag is het precies 5 jaar geleden dat mijn dierbare vader stierf. Is het alweer zo lang geleden? Maar waarom voelt het dan als gisteren? Is het bewust of onbewust geweest dat ik met de afbeelding van een engel kom vandaag? Heb je ooit afgevraagd hoe jouw beschermengel eruit ziet en heet? Je hebt hem/haar vast wel ooit gehoord, als innerlijke stem? Gewoon op vertrouwen en naar luisteren... Ik heb haar gevonden bij Deviantart en ze is getekend door Red Priest Usada. Ik kreeg pas van Teresa van My Crafty Heart nieuwe stanzen van Memory Box toegestuurd, waaronder de kerstboom. Natuurlijk kun je de stans hiervoor gebruiken, maar ik heb hem gecombineerd met een andere stans, ook van Memory Box (een hoekornament) en heb uit witte cardstock 4 delen uitgestanst van elk en er deze sneeuwvlok/kerstster mee gemaakt. Ben zelf helemaal wég van deze stanzen, vind ze echt waanzinnig mooi om mee te werken. Het is toch net kant? Om het stanswerk beter tot z'n recht te laten komen, heb ik het geheel op blauwe cardstock geplaatst. De afbeelding is heel zacht ingekleurd met Derwent Coloursoft, wou het geheel een wat dromerige look meegeven.
My darling father passed away 5 years ago today. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years already... But why does it feel like it was only yesterday... Why have I created something with an angel today, was it subconscious or unconscious? Have you ever wandered what your guardian angel looks like or is called? Undoubtedly you must have heard him/her at a certain point, as your inner voice maybe? Just trust your feeling and listen to those inner voices... I found the image of this angel at Deviantart and she was drawn by Red Priest Usada. Recently Teresa of My Crafty Heart sent me some new Memory Box dies to work with, among them this Christmas Tree. Of course you can use the die for this purpose only, I chose to combine it with another Memory Box die, the Snowflake Corner. From white cardstock I cut 4 pieces of each and made this snowflake/star with them. I absolutely adore these dies, they're super gorgeous and wonderful to work with! Doesn't this look like lace to you? In order to properly show you the diecuts I placed the whole on blue cardstock. I coloured the image very softly with Derwent Coloursoft, wanted to give the whole a bit of a dreamy look...
