Wellies

Wellies is such a fun word to me - not sure why, but it makes me smile when I say it. I don't own any Wellies, but I have a pair picked out if I ever decide to get some. At MFPSpeedyTV, the Inspiration challenge this week is "Get Creative with those Wellies" and there are some pretty inspiring Wellies:




So fun!

I took a bit of inspiration from all of them:

I used stamps from the following MFP sets:

Works of Art
Columns and Toparies
Glad Glads
Ivy and Blossoms
You've Got Style

My paper is from The Paper Studio and SU!, the inks are Tim Holtz (using the Wrinkle Free Distress technique), the glitter is from Sparkle n Sprinkle, and the ribbon was a sweet birthday present. In case you want to see the Wellies I have picked out here they are:


Hope you are inspired by the fun Wellies in the challenge and join us in the MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge.

Hugz!

    Wow! Nancy, what a fine job you did with the Wellies inspiration. I love all these flowers stuck down in there. You have lots of wonderful sparkle and used some fab papers.

    Your card is absolutely adorable (don't forget to enter it into the SNS Creative Challenge). I have to say though, the wellies you have chosen made me laugh out loud. I've never seen cowboy boot wellies and they are just too fun. Living in the Northwest for a number of years, wellies were the shoe of choice most of the time. These would have been perfect.

    I assume "Wellies" are what I call boots. In any case all the ones in your post today are cute, but yours are by far the best and the most snazzy. That card is just stunning. Have a wonderful day.

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
