Hi there!
I am back from my holiday, and this is my first live blog post in about a month!
We had a wonderful time with family and friends in South-Africa, but it's always good to be back home, and especially back in my craft room and reunited with my dear furry friend Sugar. Boy, I missed my doggy child so much!
So... it's Tuesday and time to be inspired by a new cue card at CASology !
This was one of those cards where I knew from the first moment the direction I want to go... and to top it all, I love the result too!
A close up of the sentiment:
I designed my card in the Silhouette Studio (no surprise ;)
I created the black frame by 'welding' together strips inspired by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. I then cut the 3 colored blocks, and popped them up with foam tape on the card base with my sentiment.To add interest to my sentiment, I colored some of the negative space created by decreasing the character space, with my Promarkers in red, yellow and blue.

Zo leuk dat je dit patroon hebt gebruikt! Doet me helemaal denken aan een lievelingsvest van mij, gedragen totdat er de gaten in vielen, maar ook met van die kleurvakken erop en de boorden in zwart...wat dat vest allemaal zou kunnen vertellen :)! GAve kaart weer Hannelie!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I was a big fan of Mondrian when I was in high school! How fun to see that familiar style in your card!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Hannelie ... as soon as I saw this Mondrian came to mind! It's a brilliant piece ... primary pops of colour, black lines, heaps of white space ... love it! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat art Hannelie, welcome back,
ReplyDeletehugs Dorte
Love your color blocking and how you created your fabulous sentiment! Awesome card, Hannelie!
ReplyDeleteVery cool card Hannelie! I like Mondrian :-) I wish you would teach classes on Silhouette software ;-) Thank you so much for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteJaaa, Mondriaan! Wat een mooi design en strakke kaart, erg gaaf Hannelie!
ReplyDeleteFijn dat jullie een mooie tijd hadden, maar aan alles komt een eind en thuis is het ook heerlijk, zoals je zelf ook zegt. Dank je wel voor de leuke tekst!
I love it...clean, fresh feeling. Has a great vintage feel to it as well.
ReplyDeleteFor some really odd, strange reason, I thought of the Brady Bunch as soon as I saw your card!! LOL..you just never know what comes up in my brain!
TFS and hugs,
Karen
I LOVE your card, Hannelie!i AM A BIG FAN OF Mondrian. I once made a mondrian card, but I like your better! https://fun-stamping.blogspot.com/2014/02/mondrian-valentine.html
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant! I thought of Mondrian the second I saw your card. Beautiful execution and design! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great card! I love how you did the sentiment with the touch of red and the fonts are perfect! I read a lot of blogs and I never see anyone use their Silhouette like you do. :) A Silhouette has been on my wish list for a few years now, but I fear if I get one I'll never be able to do what you do with yours. :) Just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteRecognized the Mondrian tribute right away — love this design! And I am definitely downloading your very cool sentiment, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love that you made this look like a Frank Lloyd Wright window!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a genius idea to add those little pops of color to your sentiment! This is a great card and would work well for either gender.
ReplyDeleteSuper cool Mondrian art card! Very nice touch with the colours inside some of the open spaces of the sentiment.

I love this! One of my favorite artists, and you've captured his essence perfectly with your very cool card. The bold black and white with the primary colors just scream Mondrian. The bit of coloring in your awesome sentiment works perfectly. I love this card. It's absolutely stunning!!! Glad you're back home by your little Sugar! Bev
ReplyDeleteLove Mondrian and your card, Hannelie. I did one similar a while ago and we painted one wall in my granddaughter's basement a Mondrian inspired mural.
ReplyDeleteWELCOME BACK!!! I bet sweet little Sugar was just as happy to see you!
ReplyDeleteStunning graphic creation! Love the added color in the sentiment! Absolute graphic gorgeousness that should be hung on a wall!!!
This is fantastic. I knew it reminded me of an actual artist, but could not remember the name. This is really brilliant.
ReplyDeleteJust love this card and thank you for the sentiment :)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure you had a good holiday. Nothing like seeing old friends and family but it's always good to get home. It's been 3 years since my last visit and I haven't been back to Cape Town since I left. My hart is seer! Love this bright and bold card with the way you added touches of color in the sentiment. Amazing! Have a fab week-end x
ReplyDeleteI love the Mondrian look and you've created a fabulous card! Glad you had a good trip but are now reunited with Sugar - I can imagine how happy that reunion was!
ReplyDeleteLove it xxx Takes me back to the 60's reminding me of the classic mini dress.
ReplyDeleteokay who loves Mondrian? ... raise your hand... me, me, me! (I love this card)
ReplyDeleteOkay-this is one of my favorites. I LOVE your take on this!! How did you design this in your Silhouette? I need to learn how because I LOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteLove ! Love ! Love your card !!!
ReplyDeleteBises ♥
This is just amazing, Hannelie! I love the Mondrian inspired, clean, graphic design!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Hannelie, this is simply FABulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and design.
Eenvoudig skitterend 'n ware klein kunswerkie, vrou!!! Jou keuse van fonts is so perfek en maak die hele ontwerp net soveel meer treffend!!!! En die ingekleurde blokkies van die sentiment is net briljant en so effektief om hierdie kaartjie in 'n uitsonderlike klas van sy eie te plaas!!!! Wonderlik goed gedoen vrou!!!
ReplyDeleteBly dat julle veilig terug is by die huis en dat jy weer kan speel met al jou crafting goeters!!!! Ek het baie aan jou gedink terwyl julle hier was en het gewonder wat julle als doen!!!! Ek glo julle het baie lekker gekuier!!!! En verseker was die skattige klein Sugar net so opgewonde om weer sy ounooi te sien!!!!
Groete
This was my favourite DT card of the week. So darn clever!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the clean and simple look of your card--great design. Thank you for giving permission to use your sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHello! I am late to the party, but I love this card! I am inspired to make a Mondrian-style card now. Thank you for the inspiration!
