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
Two fun birthday cards. I really like them both. I had never seen the birthday toasts image before, it darling and wouldn't the royal straight flush be the best gift if you were playing cards. Oh, you've set me off dreaming now and I don't even gamble. LOL Enjoy your day and upcoming weekend.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards, I love the toast one - brilliant sentiment. Great matching image and papers on the second one.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are absolutely sensational but I love, love the toaster, just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThose images are really fun Nancy. I like all the distressing you did a lot. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNancy - I was so happy to see that you kept the Playing Cards image that you kept for one of your creations! I really love the distressed edges of your papers. It looks like a touch of elegance! I forgot about the freebie Gecko until you mentioned it, thanks!

Both cards turned out wonderful Nancy. I especially like the tattered and torn look you've got going on in the first one. You've made it look natural when in fact it is difficult to achieve sometimes.
