Birthday Butterflies

The new DRS Designs Challenge is  easy as 1-2-3  (use 1 of something, 2 of something and 3 of something - can be 1 image, 2 layers, 3 colors or 1 greeting, 2 embellishments, 3 die cuts).  What an easy challenge! 


I used 1 greeting, 2 flowers (look close on the top right of my sentiment panel), and 3 butterflies. I stamped the Brush Birthday Greeting (love that font) for my sentiment, and I used the Single Flying Butterfly for my butterflies. 

I had fun with my background.  I splattered watercolors on my papers with a paint brush, stamped one of the images on the Four Flower Background using my green watercolor paint, and then stamped the Lines O'Plenty Background using Versamark and embossing with white embossing powder. I love how the background came out. 

Hope you will join us in the challenge.

Hugz!

    You have been coming up with the most beautiful backgrounds lately. I adore the colors in this one, soft and sweet. I also love that front for your sentiment and like the banner it is on. Wishing you a fun weekend.

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!
