Pink and Black Flower Arrangement

This week our team is off at Squigglefly and Holley's team is playing with Pink and whatever other color they want in the latest Squigglefly challenge. I love color challenges and I got some fun new pink glitter from Sparkle and Sprinkle (I picked it up at the CK Jacksonville conference) so I had to play. My image is one of the new ones from Pamela Lehto called Pam's Daisy Bouquet Cup. I love these sweet flowers - what a fun image. My bg is a piece of a corrugated
cardboard box I painted and distressed and touched a bit with some Tim Holtz pink distressed ink.


I am also entering this in the Sparkle and Sprinkle September challenge which is to use glitter, embossing or flocking on your creation.

Hope you have a wonderful week! Hugz!

    Nancy - I am so in love with the corrugated background paper - it is so fabulous looking with those flowers. I am going to find a box to tear up right now and try it.

    Hey GF: I am posting here as I don't know if you got my email. I will post the Wedding albums starting this weekend. It takes like 6-7 hours to download each video and I finally finished. It has been raining here forever so my pictures come out too dark, but yeah I will be posting everything soon. The weekend after the CKC I was wanting so bad to do it all over again that I was sad....lol I miss you like crazy too. But on the bright side-I think we are coming to AL in February...lol My husband said your DH invited us....lol
    Bear Hugs,

    Hi, Nancy! What a delightful card with the pretty warm colors in the background and the lovely pink flowers! A very pretty combination. Amazing texture, and I especially like the dark die cut which picks up the color in the vase (lovely shading). Such pretty design elements in your masterpiece, Nancy! I have become your newest follower! hugs, de {Creative Smiles}

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
