Some Fish, A Pumpkin, A Wreath, and a Kitty

I stayed home all day yesterday (in my PJs with no make up even!) and made several cards - it was a great day!


This is a case of catdidit on Splitcoast Stampers (FS351) - I cased THIS card. Cathy's gallery was so fun to peruse! I used MFP's Koi Fish set; I cut out the pieces and drug them through SU! and Tim Holtz inks to get the cool shading.


This card is for Sassy Cheryl's Halloween Challenge (you have two days to enter if you are interested). The image is available at Sassy Cheryl's store and Squigglefly and is called Sassy Sally's Prize Winning Pumpkin. I used a Tim Holtz Skull Die and some little skull punches to finish this one off.


There are a few hours left if you want to enter the Squigglefly Leave Me Be challenge (use leaves or an image that shows leaving. My image is available at Squigglefly and is called Wreath Nest by Marla Shega.


This was the last one I made. I made it with I Miss You by Lynne Stansbery. I have loved this image for awhile and had to break down and get it from the Squigglefly store. I am entering it in the Pile It On challenge which is to use at least two embellishments (I have die cuts, lace, flowers, and leaves) and the Crafty Girl Challenge which is Anything Goes.

Hope you all are having or had a great weekend!

Hugz!

    All of these are so pretty. My absolute favorite, though, is the cat. I may have to go buy that image too.

    Nancy you have made such lovely cards! I love them all and wish I had just half of the creativity you had in making all of these! On your first one I really love how you have the koi fish framing the lily pad - such great coloring and dimension! Your 2nd card is adorable and fun. The spotted pumpkin is just too cute! The wreath nest card is really pretty - I love the brown tones you used and your paper choice couldn't have been better! The last card makes me smile. I love the soft coloring you did on the image. The flowers are a spectacular embellishment!

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.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

The Snuggle or Struggle is Real

Hello friends, Isn't this new House Mouse Image the cutest?  I am so glad that Spellbinders has partnered with House Mouse and brought in new images.  I was inspired to add birch trees and snow after seeing THIS  pretty card.  The snow is done with Snowtex which is one of my favorite winter mediums, and I painted the birch trees with black acrylic paint mixed with water and painted with an old credit card.  Everything else was painted with Daniel Smith watercolors. This is being entered in the HMFMC#402 which is Anything Goes with an option of rainbow.  While you might not think of a rainbow when you see this card, I actually used a lot of colors in the painting: yellows, browns, pinks, reds, and blues.  Some are not obvious because they are mixed with other colors or a very light.   Thanks for dropping by.  I have been a little under the weather lately, but I am feeling much better.   Hugz, Nancy

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo
