T stands for... Have fun with stencils

Hola Corazones,

Mucho calor hoy por aquí, y desde ayer los niños ya pueden salir a pasear o correr una hora al día, me pregunto si será lo correcto, porque las cifras oficiales todavía no han bajado mucho. Esperemos que todo salga bien.

Precisamente ahora me estoy tomando un té verde con menta, y  me uno a Bleubeard & Elizabeth  de Altered Book Lover, y al fantástico T-party gang, para saborearlo, sí si !  son excepcionales !!Si os queréis unir, estáis invitados!   Happy T-day ! (Feliz día del té !).
También participo con mi tarjeta, en el fabuloso reto que nos trae Valerie de Bastelmania, para Try it on Tuesday, con el tema : Have fun with Stencils (diviertete con esténciles), grandioso!
Os invito a visitar sus maravillosos blogs, porque están llenos de belleza !
-------------------------------------------------------

Today is a very hot day here, and since yesterday the children can go for a walk or run an hour a day, I wonder if it is the right thing to do, because the official data have not yet dropped so much. Hopefully everything goes well.

Right now I am having a green tea with mint, and I join Bleubeard & Elizabeth from Altered Book Lover, and the fantastic T-party gang, to savor it, yes yes, they are exceptional ! If you want to join, you are invited ! Happy T-day ! 

I also participate with my card, in the fabulous challenge that Valerie from Bastelmania brings us at Try it on Tuesday, with the great theme : Have fun with Stencils, gorgeous !

I invite you to visit their wonderful blogs, because they are full of beauty !

He creado esta tarjeta con tres cartulinas de colores en la base, y encima papel de acuarela, con toques de esmalte de uñas y unos esténciles con acrílicas azul, rosa y amarillo.  He remarcado los bordes con cera violeta y después con un bolígrafo de gel con purpurina morado también. Después he pegado un trocito de puntilla, un pequeño tag de cartulina pintado con acrílicas y un sello de texto. He añadido un trozo de tela beige, un pétalo rojo, unas flores de papel, un par de mariposas de hojas de libro viejo, pintadas con témpera morada, el sentimiento die cut, y unas perlitas.
----------------------------------------
I have created this card with three cardstocks at the base,  then a watercolour paper with touches of nail polish, and some stencils with blue, pink and yellow acrylics.  I have highlighted the edges with a purple crayon, and then with a  purple glitter gel pen. Then I glued a piece of lace, a small cardboard tag painted with acrylics and a text stamped.  I have added a little piece of beige fabric, a red petal, some paper flowers, a couple of butterflies from old book sheets,  and painted with purple témpera.  Finally I added the  diecut feeling and some pearls.

  2. Such a lovely piece you created with the pastel Spring colors and butterflies. Still too chilly for flowers and butterflies here and so far 15 days of rain. So I'm happy to see images of flowers from you walks before confinement. Take care.

  5. How beautiful. I love, love, love all the layers and layers you created. I love how you incorporated the tag and the butterflies. This is gorgeous and perfect for Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Your city is beautiful. I hope the children don't wander too far or get exposed to anything while outside. I love that you shared your city and the beauty of it, including that old tree.

    It's great to share coffee with you today, too, Caty. I loved the image you shared. Thanks for your lovely art, your beautiful photos, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday. Stay safe and well, dear friend.

  9. Hi Caty, Your artwork is lovely, so much texture, it's very colourful too.
    we have heard they may left us out after Saturday just to walk but I was worried reading that people were abusing the time out with the children so I hope they don't change their minds.
    We have jsut taken out one of those huge cabbage looking plants, it was taking over the garden and then my DH read that they can cause allergic reactions on the skin, scared him with having DGSs so it had to go, a shame as I really lovely it.
    We have heard that here in Murcia we haven't had any more infections or deaths since the weekend which is great news.
    Have a great T day, Keep safe

    1. thank you very much Jan !! So glad you like it. Yes, you´re right, people are irresponsible, they would have to be more careful because this is very serious, and many people are dying. What a pity!
      I hope that the infections will not continue, here in Almería there are "few" infections, and I am looking forward to this ending soon. Let's see if deconfusion is a good idea, I don't know.
      I didn´t know that the huge cabbage could cause allergic reactions on the skin, thanks for let me know it.
      I wish you a very nice afternoon, stay safe and big hugssss

  13. Your card is full of pattern. I am loving the background and the texture.
    One hour a day outside is not very long for children full of energy. I I can imagine there are a lot of exhausted parents.
    What a beautiful ficus tree in your community. It has a wonderful shape!

    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    1. Thank you very much Kate !! So glad you like it. Yes, you´re right one hour a day is not enough, nevertheless, they can run and walk and have vitamine D, because the days here are sunny. Little by little. Some people are working from the last week too, let´s see. I wish you a very nice afternoon, stay safe and big hugssss

    Thank you for showing some more of your beautiful city. I am very impressed with that old tree. I had not seen that one. If trees could talk....
    The weather here is still cold and rainy. I am longing for better weather and I want to see the sun again!
