A Bunch of Cards!

I had an extra long weekend and I made a bunch of cards! I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you:


The image on this is from Delicious Doodles and it is called Mother Duck and Duckling. I made this for a friend of my daughter. She requested a duck image but wanted it to be only one layer. I am entering this in the current Delicious Doodles Challenge which is Anything Goes with your favorite color(s). My favorite colors are green and blue but when it comes to cards I love black and brown as well.


This one was done for a challenge on SCS involving maps. My image is a new one available at Squigglefly by Cheryl Grant Alger called Another Door Opens Sally.


This card was made for the Inspiration Challenge on SCS. I hand cut the heart and the flowers.


Done for the MIX challenge and the Inspiration Challenge on SCS. I made it by mixing glue and ink an embossing folder and running it through the Big Shot.


Made for the FS challenge on SCS using ink and glue on an ef. My sentiment is from the MFP set Out on the Town.


Made using the OUt on the Town MFP Sentiment for one of the DG Challenges on SCS.


Made for another DG challenge on SCS - I made this one by rubbing down my ef with Versamark and using heat and stick powder and then rubbing in some Sparkle n Sprinkle glitter. IRL this thing lights up a room.

I made more but I am just showing you my favorites so you don't fall asleep looking at this post.

Hugz!

    Wow, Nancy...what a busy girl you've been. These are all fabulous cards. I won't attempt to even say which are my favorites. I think you must work a lot faster than this girl. I think it would take me a loooooong time to make this many. :-) Huggies~~~

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
