Hoi en welkom bij de Around The World on Wednesday Blog Hop. Het thema van deze maand is "een mooie dag in je buurt". Nou dat was een lastige en daar heb ik even over na moeten denken. Niet dat het niet een mooie dag in mijn omgeving is, maar hoe ga ik dit thema in een kaartje gieten.
Hi and welcome to the Around The World on Wednesday Blog Hop. The theme of this month is "It's a wonderful day in my neighborhood". Well that was a though one and I had to think it over a little bit. Not that my neighborhood isn't wonderful, but how could I adopt the theme in my project.
The most beautiful and famous thing of IJsselstein is of course every year the biggest Christmas tree of the Netherlands. In IJsselstein there is a transmission tower and from that tower they make a Christmas tree of 372 meters high. I wanted to put the tree in the spotlights on my card, so I searched in my stamp sets and thought I could do so with the Trees for Sale stamp set. But unfortunately not. After 4 attempts I gave up and I searched for other events in IJsselstein. In my head it looked much better than on paper hihi...
One of the events happening regularly in IJsselstein are the Old-timers. They are shown at the Podium and of course after that they will drive through IJsselstein to the next town. It is amazing to see how much passion the owners of these beautiful cars have. I just love to see that. When I thought of these Old-timers I directly thought about the He's the Man product suite. The amazing Designer Series Paper is very manly and ideal to use for man cards.

I love how you run us through your thought process - it's very entertaining 😂. Must be great to see all those classic cars being driven through the streets. Great card Danielle x
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's amazing how our ideas cannot always end on paper as we like... but I must say, I was definitely seeing those amazing tree lights in that DSP! There's nothing like seeing the old classics out and about. Thanks for sharing. x
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove the story behind the process of creating your card. I too found this to be quite a challenge, but eventually got it all worked out as well.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh so true - what seems a great idea in the head doesn't always translate so well in real life! Thanks for sharing your creative process with us. Classic cars are a favourite everywhere I think, so the set was well chosen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenvery nice card Danielle! xx
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPersonally I think that Christmas tree should only ever be seen in person ;) I adore Christmas and that must be an amazing sight and so tall. I'd happily come and visit to see that than see it on a card. That aside, I think the card you did share, is fabulous. Masculine cards can be so difficult at times and this is wonderful xx
