Laura and family seem as busy and cheerful as ever over on I am the Diva but I don't blame her one little bit for wanting to keep things simple at this time of the year. I wish all the family a great Christmas and hope Artoo's recovery continues - he and his brother certainly seem to be having fun!
I did this simple tile yesterday as one of my Christmas card toppers. Verdigogh, one of my all time favourites, is simple, elegant and doesn't usually need anything else to go with it. Rather than finishing it off as usual by subtle shading, I resisted doing any at all in order to keep those simple lines...it was difficult as I love shading! But I like it.
Hope you all have a great Christmas.

so pretty and festive
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kia - I shall mount it on red card and sent it to a friend. Axxx
DeleteA perfect Verdigogh for this time of year. The one time I tried it, I'm afraid mine didn't come out looking simply elegant nor peaceful like yours did.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this tangle, Suzanne, but it can come out looking less than perfect sometimes! Practice! Axxx
DeleteSo pretty and "Christmas-y" :)
ReplyDeleteThanks you! I love Verdigogh at Christmas and always like to use a touch of red and green to emphasis its 'Christmassyness'! Axxx
DeleteSo, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you Zoe! Axxx
DeleteLove this one! Festive theme too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy - Verdigogh always seems so festive to me. Axxx

ReplyDeleteNow, we can't call you 'FiberCafe' can we?? Thank you for popping by and leaving me a comment - I will be over to see you very soon! Axxx
DeleteLove your Tile, Annie. Verdigogh is one of my favorite patterns also. I very much like your curved elements, and the way you colored it in layers. Beautiful red highlighted beads. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love Verdigogh, David and I think I almost always curve the 'leaves'. I was going to add more colour and shading but then the challenge came up....and to leave shading is always a challenge for me!! Thank you. Axxx
DeleteNice simple christmas design
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Tinas! Axxx
DeleteBeautifully simply done! Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lady Kate! And Season's Greetings to you too. Have a great new year. Axxx
DeletePerfect tangle for a Christmas card. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean - I confess to adding some shading and a bit more colour before putting it onto a card for CHristmas! But it suits simplicity too....
DeleteHappy Christmas, Axxx
Beautiful tile, Annie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lily! Axxx
DeleteThis is very lovely, Annie! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Annemarie - I wish you a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year too. Axxx
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful, Annie! Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you LonettA - and a Merry Christmas to you too! Axxx
DeleteSo lovely - I like Verdigogh and your tile is so pretty with this little bit of colour in it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra. For me, Verdigogh always draws itself! Axxx
DeleteWhat a beautiful simple Christmas greeting embodied in this verdigogh tile! Love the color of the background tile and the added colors too really add to the holiday feel!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lynne, for this lovely feedback. Axxx

ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl - Merry Christmas to you! Axxx
DeleteWhat a lovely, festive tile.
ReplyDeleteThank you JL! Axxx
DeleteNice job with Verdigogh. I think this is one of the harder tangles. I have had mixed results with it. You did well and it will make a great card. Sure your friend will cherish receiving it. Merry Christmas to you and your family and best wished for the New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donald. I have always found Verdigogh just flew off my pens...interesting that you didn't find the same. Many thanks for your kind words and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family too. Axxx
DeleteI've never had great results with Verdigogh, but this is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine - though as I just commented to Donald above, it's a tangle that suits me very much and I never had a problem with it. SO glad you like it! Axxx
DeleteGreat job on Verdigoh. I also used it on Holiday Cards this year; it's really perfect for season. I love your red berries; they add a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteHi Audrie - thank you for your lovely words - Verdigogh is really at home when it's Christmas! Axxx
