Spring Where Are You?

Hello friends.

It is cold, and I am ready for Spring. I have some pretty flowers to share with you.

This one was made with the Spellbinders Geranium and Wooden Bucket dies. I water colored the background, the bucket and the flowers using watercolor paper and Daniel Smith watercolors. I was inspired by the Art Nudge 225C inspiration photo here:


The challenge is open to all artists of any type - textile, paper, oil, watercolor, stamping, mixed media, sculpture, cookies, etc. 

I have more flowers after doing the watercolor and sketch challenges on Splitcoaststampers.com this week:

The watercolor challenge was based on a tutorial video by MarenaArt which can be found HERE. The sketch card is the one on the right. 

Don't you love the Unity stamp on the left - so encouraging. 

I loved painting the loose poppies so much that I painted the boiled egg I made for my chicken salad - lol.

I am late for T-day again over at Elizabeth's Blog - I am always the caboose lately (but at least I am showing up). We always share a drink related item in our post, and anyone is welcome to join in. This week, I am drinking a new to me tea from The Republic of Tea. I really like it. 


I hope the remainder of your week is wonderful. Thanks for dropping by.

Hugz,

Nancy

    Hi Nancy. I'm feeling just like you with flowers and it being cold. Wow, your flowers are gorgeous. You could make some beautiful Easter eggs too if you painted them. I hope all is well and you warm up soon. hugs-Erika

    I always love seeing your cards. I really LOVE the poppies. That egg is stunning. Sorry I am late visiting, but I am thrilled beyond belief that you shared your T Stands For Tuesday post with us this week. Your pumpkin pie chai sounds delicious. I love anything pumpkin.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Bear-ied In Paperwork

 Back again, with a card for this week's House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge ( HMFMC#424 ).  This week the challenge is Anything goes with the option of scraps of paper. I took the option literally and added scraps of paper on my kitchen counter.  I needed a thank you card for someone who has been helping us organize A LOT of papers.   I stamped the image (House Mouse Gruffies Bear-ied in Paperwork -2007) using CTMH Black, then coloring the image with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  I drew in an extra paper or two so that I could make one of them a Thank You paper - it is the top right and shaded pink.  Thanks for visiting, Nancy
