Voetbedekking / Footwear
This weeks' theme at Wednesday Stampers is 'Footwear'. Really, I would love to walk on high heels once, although my average daywaer looks more like the boots on this card...
Spin&Splash background made in Hermine's class a few weeks ago. Boots from Papirgleder, stamped in purple on a dictionary page. Scratches from Stampers Anonymous on vellum. The orange looking border is a glittery red/gold IRL. The purple layer (looks black in the scan) is attached with foamtape on the vellum.

Finished?
Well, I am libra, so nothing is ever finished... trying again and again to add a this or that. And when the creations are finally in the mail I start to doubt:"Shouldn't I have done something different...?" *lol*
Hier twee van de gotische bogen die ik afgelopen week maakte, alletwee met wat extras er op.
Here are two of the gothic arches i made last week, both with some extras added.
De bloemetjes op de bruine kaart kregen steeltjes van dunne strookjes restpapier. Het lijken nu net ballonnen.
The flowers on the brown card got stems from some tiny leftover strips of paper. They look a bit like balloons now.
De Happy Girls kregen een randje en wat blaadjes aan de boom. Het randje was 'gepland', de blaadjes waren nodig om een lijmvlek weg te werken. Behalve eeuwig twijfelen ben ik daar ook goed in: knoeien en weer weg werken.
The happy girls did get a border and some leaves on the tree branches. The border was 'planned', the leaves are a covering up from spilling glue. Beside dubbing that's something I'm good at too: messing and covering up.

Gothic Arch Queen
Messing around for an evening makes a gothic arch look like this...

To you with love
This gothic arch is made with Wednesday stampers Valentine theme in mind. Stamped text from Stampotique. on scrapbookpaper. Heart is from Purple Onion Design, To you with love is from Clubscrap. Flowers are fabric and coloured with alcohol inks (Red Pepper, Butterscotch and Terra cotta). Border is made with bookbinding end band. The strange looking curve is due to the pressure of the scanner lid, its a neat border IRL ;oP
Thanks for looking.

Two happy girls
Another page for the gotic swap I'm in. Stamped background text, tree, clock hands and bird. The girls are from the vintage pool at Flickr and the text is computer generated. I'm considering to attach some end band (head band) around it for a more finished look. Have to search first if I have the right colour in stash.
Sorry for another blurry photo...

Twee Handen/Two hands

Hope you like the pages Tina :o))

Perpetual gatefold (part 4)
I didn't like the scans of the card I posted with the instructions a few days ago. Today I managed to take some pics of it. The movements are showed more clearly now.
Klik op de foto voor een grotere afbeelding, nog steeds wazig maar je ziet wel wat ik bedoel. De foto is gelinkt naar mijn Flickr account, klik daar op 'all sizes' boven de foto voor de grote afbeelding.
Click on the picture for a larger view, a bit blurry, but you'll get the idea. The pic is linked to my Flickr account, clik on 'all sizes' when you're there to see the larger image.
Aanvulling op de werkwijze: Het kaartje maken is simpeler als je de strookjes eerst op elkaar plakt en daarna decoreert. Ik doe dat zelf niet omdat je dan wat lastiger bij sommige randjes kunt komen.
Updated instructions: It's more easy to make the card when you attach the strips to each other first and decorate afterwards. I don't do that because it's harder to reach some parts of the folded card when it is assembled.

Perpetual gatefold part 3
De voor en achterkant zijn bestempeld. Voor de duidelijkheid heb ik twee verschillende kleuren gebruikt, voorkant roze, achterkant blauw.
Where was I?
The front and back side are stamped. For clearness (engl?) I've used two colours, front side is pink, back side of the card is blue.
Verder met de binnenkant. Nu volgt er een iets ingewikkelder deel, haal de Post-it los en leg de strookjes met de 'buitenkanten' tegen elkaar aan. Om straks de tekst van de achterkant leesbaar te hebben is het slim om die nu vast om te draaien. Zie foto.
Coninue with the inner part of the card. It's a bit more complicated, but not to hard. Remove the Post-it tape from the strips and place the strips with the 'outer' sides next to each other. To have a readable text on the back of the card when finished you want to turn it in this stage. See picture.
Turn both pairs and decorate. The parts marked with 'X and O' can be left empty, these will be used to attach the strips to each other later.
Remove the tape from the front part, pink one in this example. Place the 'outer' side next to each other (the front will be a 'normal' heart again now). Let the blue strips attached to each other for now.
Attach double sided tape to the bare spots, the places marked 'X' on the drawing.
Plak nu de strook met de roze 'X-en' op de roze 'O-en' en de grijze 'X-en' op de grijze 'O-en'. Stevig aan drukken en verwijder de Post-it tape van de achterzijde (als je dat al niet gedaan had).
Attach the strip with the pink 'X-es' to the pink 'O's en the grey 'X-es' to the grey 'O's. Press firmly and remove the Post-it tape from the backside of the card (when you didn't do this before).
How to make the perpetual movements?
Start with the heart, fold to the outside. The blue inner of the card with pink sides will become visible.
Fold the blue hearts up and downwards. The card will have the shape of a cross now and the text on pink is visible.
Fold the pink part to the outside again and the back of the card will be readable now. Fold up and downwards again et voilá, your back at the start!
Ik hoor graag als het lukt. Als het niet lukt of als je fouten in de beschrijving tegen komt wil ik het ook graag weten ;o)) Dan kan ik de aanwijzingen aanpassen. Alvast bedankt.
I love to hear it when you make one. Please tell any difficulties and errors in this discription you encounter. I can adjust the instruction in that case. TIA.
