Chandelier Inspired Card

This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge pics are wonderful again!!!
 

 
I love all of them and could have gone with any one of the 50 ideas they inspired in my mind!  I needed a birthday card for my Pop so I went a little more masculine (hence the colors, textures, and camo paper).  He loved it! 
 
 
 
I used MFP's Oh Beans and Hot Air Balloons sets.  Hope you have time to come play with us in the next two weeks - we would really love to see how these pictures inspire you too.
 
Hugz!

    What a very cool card for your Pop. I love the burlap, corrugated board, and feathers for steam. You are so clever.
    Nancy, my wonderful package of winnings arrived yesterday. Love it and looking forward to using those stamps. Thanks so much.

    I would have to say this is an ideal card for a Dad. It has the masculine look coupled with the little heart to let him know you love him. Love that "steaming" coffee. Have a wonderful day. We are getting a trace - 2 inches of snow tomorrow morning.

    what a great take on the inspiration photos, Nancy! Your dad will love the warmth of your pretty card. (Happy Birthday to Your Dad!) LOL Actually, I'd love making the teacup projects in your inspiration pieces, and even the unusual cascading chandelier with the utensils - but I'd hat cleaning them and dusting them! Great project, Nancy! hugs, de

    What an amazing masculine card for your Pop! I love the corrugated panel, but how did you create the steam from the cups?! That's incredibly creative and I love how it turned out! NJ!

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
