Less is more # 230

Hi there!

Don't you think its funny how sometimes when you see a card sketch it triggers a certain picture in your mind? It happened the moment I saw the sketch at Less is more  this week!
So my take on the sketch is a literal translation of what I saw... a door!

It reminded me of the stained glass door of our house in South-Africa. My Silhouette helped me to transform the idea to paper.






I added the colour with my Promarkers and gave it the stained glass look by adding glossy accents.

The sentiment is my own. I created one more to share with you.





Here is the sketch that inspired the card:


                                                           

Thanks for visiting me today.

Have a great week!

    Ag, man ek klink al soos 'n plaat wat vashaak as ek weer se 'briljant', ne!!!! O, ek sou jou so graag in aksie wou sien met jou silhouette en hoe presies jy te werk gaan om jou idees so pragtig uit te sny!!! Dit moet voorwaar 'n flinke brein wees wat dit so perfek doen!!! Jou 'glasstukkies' is so treffend en ek's mal oor daai 'y' van die sentiment wat sy voet so buite sy kassie uitsteek!!! Eenvoudig ongelooflik pragtig, vrou!!! Ek sien daai deur voor my geestesoog!!!
    Baie groete, vrou en 'n lieflike week!!!
    N.S. Vannaand het ek jou nie tot laaste gelos nie, want ek was te nuuskierig om te sien wat jy gemaak het. Het nou nog 'n hele paar besoeke om te doen - as ek so net eenmaal 'n week by blogs uitkom is dit ure se sit om almal te besoek!!! Gaan hopelik darem nie te laat raak voor ek kan gaan inkruip nie en die kinders is met skoolvakansie so moreoggend kan ek darem bietjie later le!!!!

    Your card is so classy! I understand why you imagined a door the minute you saw the sketch. It reminded me of a door, too, but I don't think I could have put that idea on paper as beautifully as you did.

    Totally inspirational Hannelie.
    I also saw a door but couldn't bring that to the card!
    Love your classy door and clever take on the sketch
    Thanks so much for sharing and taking part.

    Wat is dit mooi! Doet me denken aan een kerkraam dat ik laatst in een boek zag... Je gekko-kaart hieronder is ook weer zo origineel en heerlijk met die felle tinten! Wens je een fijne week!

    WOW! Stunning simplicity! The wee pops of color add the right amount of pop without stealing the thunder from the gloriously graphic 'stained window'. Thanks for another sweet sentiment :)
