I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme. This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible. When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa. There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here. The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH). The gnome is CTMH as well. Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving. It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....
This is a fabulous card Nancy, brilliant rustic design and I love the way you have created the steam.

Wow Nancy, this is a great take on the barn with the weathered wood background! I absolutely LOVE how you added steam to the coffee cup with fibers! Genius!!
ReplyDeleteA super cute card for the challenge. I love how the barn wood looks like it is peeling and how you re-created the coffee ad with you own design.
ReplyDeleteLove the old barns, so much nicer than the billboards of today! Outstanding card, love the wood background!
ReplyDeleteFabulous looking card. Love the wood and the steam coming from the cup looks fantastic1
ReplyDeleteI just love that distressed wood in purple. Please tell me you did this yourself and there is a technique I can copy. The purple and brown just look so good together.
ReplyDeleteI love your background, Nancy, so very barn inspired it is. The sentiment is warm and endearing and the image so perfect to go with it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my friend,

So agreeing with how fabulous your chippy plum background looks, Nancy. I would never have thought to pair it with the warm browns, but my, how amazing it looks.
