Chandelier Inspired Card

This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge pics are wonderful again!!!
 

 
I love all of them and could have gone with any one of the 50 ideas they inspired in my mind!  I needed a birthday card for my Pop so I went a little more masculine (hence the colors, textures, and camo paper).  He loved it! 
 
 
 
I used MFP's Oh Beans and Hot Air Balloons sets.  Hope you have time to come play with us in the next two weeks - we would really love to see how these pictures inspire you too.
 
Hugz!

    What a very cool card for your Pop. I love the burlap, corrugated board, and feathers for steam. You are so clever.
    Nancy, my wonderful package of winnings arrived yesterday. Love it and looking forward to using those stamps. Thanks so much.

    I would have to say this is an ideal card for a Dad. It has the masculine look coupled with the little heart to let him know you love him. Love that "steaming" coffee. Have a wonderful day. We are getting a trace - 2 inches of snow tomorrow morning.

    what a great take on the inspiration photos, Nancy! Your dad will love the warmth of your pretty card. (Happy Birthday to Your Dad!) LOL Actually, I'd love making the teacup projects in your inspiration pieces, and even the unusual cascading chandelier with the utensils - but I'd hat cleaning them and dusting them! Great project, Nancy! hugs, de

    What an amazing masculine card for your Pop! I love the corrugated panel, but how did you create the steam from the cups?! That's incredibly creative and I love how it turned out! NJ!

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
