Northern light and Diagonal

Die cuts!
I visited a second hand store this week and found a lot of what I think is called Die cuts. Lots of cuts and figures in the packages. Among them the horse and wagon I used for my Cinderella paintings 2 years ago. As the shop where I bought them no longer exists I had no way to buy more. So, these followed me home. Took me a few hours to sort them out to see what I can use. The pieces I know I will not use I took back to the store. There were tons of stars and hearts. 💗 They can sell them once more. It is for sharity. 

Ocean! 
For Rains theme Diagonal this week I thought of these die cuts! I had already created the blue background, tempera color on A4 paper. As it looks like water I thought about the cut´s as fish! 


Black and blue background. Tempera on A4 paper. As I had a lot of color on the paper I decided to make it two backgrounds. The diagonal, 😀, patterns comes from the fact I put another paper above this one and flipped it sideways. I used this one for the Aurora below. I have long thought of trying to paint Nothern Light. And, as I always think of Cinderella as Aurora It came in handy. The diecuts are also painted.  Swedish name is Askungen/ "The ash kid"


Aurora!


Cars a rainy day.
Just had some fun with a photo this week. 

I hope everyone is safe. Sun is shining today so I will be outdoors most of the day. 
Take care!

  1. *wow* There are so many great punchings included, great!
    Your fish picture goes well with Rain's theme.
    the fairy tale picture with the paint is golden. With your digital world, this rainy day is also imaginative.
    I wish you a beautiful week, take care and stay healthy, Elke

  2. Love the fish piece! Blue is my favorite color and I really like to be at a lake or the sea. Or sitting by a river. Yes, I like water a lot. :) Have a nice day!

  3. You certainly got a lot of die cuts. I see loads I would use. They are stunning. So glad you were able to use some already for Rain's TAD. Those "fish" were amazing. I love them.

    I really adore your swirl in PS. It is fabulous.

  7. What a great find Monica and how clever to use the die cuts that I think are to make bows as Fish, they look happy in your watery scene. Happy ppf Tracey x
