Keep it simple with a wish - challenge #198

This weeks Diva Challenge #198 is 'to keep it simple, stupid' (KISS).  What is simple to me ? A simple pattern, lot's of white space on the tile.  Not much thinking while drawing, but still enough contrast and a nice border.
Just as in life: I wish you some simple things, white space to fill in as you pleace and sometimes a bit of contrast and going outside the border as the finishing touch.

I used a simplifyed version of fricle for the border, and Indy-Rella in the middle.  A bit of shadow, and that' it. Simple and nice looking !

Christmas thoughts in Gneiss

My tile for the Square One zentangle group of the past week: focus on Gneiss.  I have put Chainging next to it and some baubles.  Yes, christmas is already in my mind.

And in the same line, I made a christmas card for my collegue who gives me each year a card with some nice wishes for me and my family and some little presents for the children with christmas.  So especially for him this Gneiss christmas card.

Because I like series of tree, I made another Gneiss card today, with  Holly christmas flowers and Indy-Rella next to it.

Arukas for the Diva challenge #197

This week's challenge #197 is to use Arukas in your tile.  It was a new pattern for me, so first some practice.  I could go for it quietly on sunday afternoon.  The youngest stays at my family for one night and the oldest is studying, so... time for me to tangle !
Here is my tile in which I combined Arukas with Indy-Rella (Square One 's challenge of this week) and Tipple and hmm... I like the result.  I hope you too.

At the same time, I'm working on some christmas project, or better New Years project but I don't want to post any of it yet.  Must be a surprise for Januari 1st.  If I don't post that much on my blog you know why.  So... some patience !
