Just for Fun: My little Encaustic wood gnome

I made this card with Encaustic Technique.  It was so much fun to create only by fantasy, 
not inspired by nature. I reinforced the impression of some lines with black marker.

.....

Das kommt dabei raus, wenn man ohne was Spezielles im Sinn drauf loswerkelt. Lauter bunten Flecken mit typischer Wachsstruktur und

auf einmal sah ich dann was darin das hab ich mit schwarzem Marker verstärkt. Ein Waldschrat mit Eulchen und irgendwas lauert noch unten rechts.

"Wer Schmetterlinge lachen hört, der weiss, wie Wolken schmecken"

"Who hears butterflies laughing, who knows how clouds taste" Songtext of the Band Novalis
The glossy background is colored by using a template. Florishes stamped with violet Brilliance.
Butterflies are glued on.

................

Für den Glossy HG hab ich Templates benutzt und den Resist Effekt mit Vaseline erreicht. Die Schnörkel sind mit Brilliance violett gestempelt.
Hier gibts den schönen Songtext von Novalis vollständig zu lesen.

"Believe is the bird, who sings if the night still is dark" (Rabindranath Tagore)

...........I cut a brayered background in different stripes and glued them on a brayered background. 
.................Then painted the branches and other lines and finally glued sun and bird on.

"I WISH NOW FINALLY SUMMER " (AAI blowing card with air duster)

Because of T. H. Video I've bought an air duster(for cleaning keyboards) and tried it too, but on transparency.
Then stamped  backside with black memories. (a few lines and dots I've doodled). That is my 1. result:

Card with AAI Blowing Technique

I was inspired by Tim Holtz Video.
It's not so sensationell, but I still like the result. (More blowing cards are here on my blog)
.
 

Beautiful warm Summer nights

Who don't know that beautiful old song from "GREASE"  ? 
(Brayered background, Neocolors, only the birds are stamped.)

......

More warm colors against our cold summer

Background stamped with Hero Arts shadowstamps, inkpad and water like the Acryl block technique.

.......

Another colorful card

I love colorful images, especially at present owing to the bad weather outdoors in germany. 
Again Acrylic block technique like the posts below.

.........

Ich liebe farbenkräftige Bilder, besonders bei dem kalten, tristen Wetter draussen. 

Wieder Acrylblock Technik wie die posts vorher.

My Summer Beauty Queen

Against the cold, gloomy, rainy summer weather, I've stamped once more a colorful card. 
Background acryl block technique, like the post below, I used my old shadow stamps from Hero Arts.

..........

Hab wieder farbenfroh gegen das trübe nasse Grau draussen anstempeln müssen, um bei Laune zu bleiben.

Acrylblog Technik siehe link oben. Hab dafür meine alten Shadowstamps von hero Arts benutzt.

Happy warm and sunny summer..not in germany, but selfmade

Because we do not have the warm and sunny summer like it looks out, I have to make him just
as a colored map. Glossy card with acryl block technique and colors from Kaleidacolor inkpads.

...........

Weil wir nicht den warmen sonnigen Sommer haben wie es ausschaut, machen wir ihn eben selber. 
(GlossyKarte mit Acrylblocktechnik und Kaleidacolorkissen.)
