Rose Colored Glasses and Christmas Card #1


The Octopode Factory Friday Challenge (TOFF#44) is Pink. I haven't had a chance to use my fun Mad Hatter Octopode so I pulled him out and dressed him up in Rose Colored Glasses. I made the bg paper by sponging all my SU! Pink ink pad colors all over the paper, using an old SU! glasses stamp with Stazon Black, and then filling in the glasses with SU! Dazzling Details. I put 3 coats of Glossy Accents on the Mad Hatter's glasses after I colored them with Copic Markers.


This card was for the Delicious Doodles Challenge #18 which is a Bingo challenge where you select a line and use all the elements from that line on your card. I chose the line requiring Punches (I used the McGill branch punch), flowers, and a Delicious Doodle image. I just discovered Delicious Doodles yesterday, and I have to tell you that they are wonderful! The artwork is wonderful, and the images are so easy to pop up and add texture. Christmas Card #1 down - only 99 more to go - LOL!

Hugz to all!

    Cute Octopode card. I need some of those rose colored glasses...sometimes I need to see things a bit differently than is my usual style.
    Great Christmas card! Of course, I haven't made #1 yet and will be in the mad rush about October.

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

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!
