I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme. This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible. When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa. There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here. The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH). The gnome is CTMH as well. Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving. It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....
Gorgeous! Love the 3D flower and the fleur de list on the edges.

This is beautiful and your friend will very happy that she asked you to make her cards. Oh good idea to use a ribbon spool while shading. Thanks for that. Your shadowing is perfect and gives the whole card a beautiful vintage feel. Like that SB die and the button also. Someone is going to be thrilled to receive this.
ReplyDeleteNancy - Wow, this is beautiful! I love how you cut the bloom and gave it more dimension. Great card! Thanks for playing in our 'Mother's Day' Challenge #67!
