Welcome!
I am such a child inside, or is this due to amount of children that surround me... Anyways, this time of season I remember all of the stories that I read as a child, all of those movies that we have seen once the winter started. Back home we were shown a lot of fairy-tales, such as Winter Queen, 12 Months (about a girl, who was told by her bad step-sister to get her some spring flowers... Thus, the girl had to go into the woods, and there she met twelve months, who of course helped her out. I love this movie!), the Father Frost or Mother Snowstorm. All of those fairy tales are about a good girl and her evil step mother, and how they make her go into the woods in the middle of cold Russian winter.
One more Russian fairy-tale that I cannot pass, which is also an opera by Rymsky-Korsakov (love opera!!!), is The Snow-maiden. All of those pagan fairy-tales are about beautiful and open-hearted maidens, who are ready to help anyone in need.
Enough of my childhood memories... Here is the card that I have created. It depicts a maiden walking through the woods, or maybe skating :)
Вітання!
Я напевне в душі навіки залишусь дитиною, а може це вплив діточок які мене постійно оточують, будь це чи вдома чи в суботній школі. Саме в зимовий час мені пригадуються всі казки і кінофільми які ми дивились в дитинстві. Це такі чудові казки як, Снігова королева, 12 місяців, Морозко, Метелиця... А особливо я люблю оперу Римського-Корсакова, Снігуронька. Всі ці казки такі наповнені язичеством але водночас показують, що доброта і відкрите серце роблять чудеса.
Дуже люблю зимові казки. Саме надихнувшись казками я зробила цю листівку. Дівчинку я розмалювала олівцями, використала папір від Марти Стюарт, шнурки від Твайнері
The girls is a digi stamp (a freebie I found, but don't remember who's) which I colored using colored pencils.
I user winter paper from Martha Stewart
punched a couple of snowflakes
and I used my favorite twine from Twinery - LOVE 'M!!!

Thanks Nataliya. Yeah, I'm so nostalgic about all of those stories and movies. Love to see them again and again.
ReplyDeleteДякую, Іринко. Он думаю, чи це мені лякатись мого дитинства чи тішитись.
ReplyDeleteТю, а чого це лякатись??? ТІШИТИСЬ!!! Людей, які вміють зберегти дитинство в собі, дуже й дуже мало. Це ж унікальність!!!
