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...
This is a fabulous card Nancy, brilliant rustic design and I love the way you have created the steam.

Wow Nancy, this is a great take on the barn with the weathered wood background! I absolutely LOVE how you added steam to the coffee cup with fibers! Genius!!
ReplyDeleteA super cute card for the challenge. I love how the barn wood looks like it is peeling and how you re-created the coffee ad with you own design.

ReplyDeleteI just love that distressed wood in purple. Please tell me you did this yourself and there is a technique I can copy. The purple and brown just look so good together.
ReplyDeleteI love your background, Nancy, so very barn inspired it is. The sentiment is warm and endearing and the image so perfect to go with it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my friend,
