Happy Spring *Tattered Angels*

It is a wonderful spring day today- so what better day than to show this spring tag I created :)
Ein wunderschöner Frühlingstag heute – also welchen besseren Tag könnte es geben, diesen Frühlingstag zu zeigen :)

HappySpring_01

I painted the little flowers on the MIST-ab-les with a brush and Suede, Patina, Cranberry Zing and Bronze. The flower is created with an old stripe ripped off from a blouse that I was going to throw away. The color was a light purple, so I sprayed the strip also with Cranberry Zing to go with the rest of the tag.

Ich habe die kleinen Blumen auf dem MIST-ab-les Canvas mit einem Pinsel und Glimmer Mist Suede, Patina, Cranberry Zing and Bronze  ausgemalt.Die Blume habe ich aus einem abgerissenen Streifen einer alten Bluse hergestellt. Die Ursprungsfarbe war ein leichtes Lila, so dass ich den Stoffstreifen ebenfalls mit Cranberry Zing besprüht habe, damit er zu dem Hintergrund passt.

Have a wonderful day!

Euch einen wunderschönen Tag!

Pimp my Wedding Shoes *Tattered Angels*

I have to say those different themes each months at the Tattered Angels DT Blog: using different surfaces- are really making me think out of the box :) And this month Fabric- made me think…”Wedding shoes” . They actually lived in a box for the last 7 years …worn one day…but hah- not anymore

Ich muß schon sagen, dass diese verschiedenen Themen jeden Monat auf dem Tattered Angels DT blog: verschiedene Untergründe- einen ganz schön überlegen lassen :) Und diesen Monat Stoff…grübel…”Hochzeitsschuhe”. Die lebten nämlich sieben Jahre ganz dunkel und einsam in einer Kiste …die letzten sieben Jahre…nur einmal getragen- aber hah – nu nich mehr.

Treated with Dirty Martini Glimmer Glam those Wedding Shoes will see the outside world way more again.

Mit Dirty Martini Glimmer Glam  werden diese Hochzeitsschuhe die Außenwelt wieder viel mehr sehen.

    Hey Nat,

    die Idee habe ich letztens auch für Kinderschuhe gesehen und finde ich total cool. Deine schönen Schuhe waren aber auch viel zu schade, um sie ewig in einer Box zu lagern. So bekommen sie wenigstens wieder frische Luft ;-)

    LG,

    Wonderful color Nat. I remember when Julie Balzer did a similar transition to her wedding shoes (though I think they became a bright ruby red)?

Deutsch und Englisch? German and English?

This is for my German readers- I simply want to know if they think the German translation is necessary.

    ich hab jetzt “nein” geklickt und hab so’n Fragegewuseln in meinem Kopf, ob ich richtig geantwortet hab. Also nein, ich lese es NICHT NUR, wenn es auch eine Übersetzung gibt. Englisch reicht mir völlig aus!!
