Weekend Cards

This week's Outlawz Paper A La Mode challenge is Focus on the Sentiment.  The sponsor is Digi Stamp Boutique.  I used a sentiment and image from their super fun Boys Toys set.  This set covers golf, racing, fishing and gaming and is perfect for those masculine cards.
 
 

I did my background with smooshing and acetate smooshing in a few distress ink blues.  I did my fish and my sentiments from the same panel.

My second weekend card is one I made when challenged to use a stick on a card.  I also used some cardboard, drywall tape, water colors, modeling paste, and a super fun Tim Holtz Crazy Bird image. 


My sentiment is from DRS Designs.  Fun card to make.

Hope you had a good weekend too!

    Two wonderful guy cards. Love the used of the stick, great idea and that dry wall paste came out fantastic. Your colors on your smooching technique work so well together. I'll bet you had fun doing these two. Enjoy your day.

    Fabulous cards Nancy, I love the fun fish one - such a great sentiment. Your Crazy Bird looks brilliant perched on his branch and your corrugated card background is perfect.

    WOW, Nancy, love them both. The fish and the background is so awesome, and love the sentiment.
    And even though I just can't get into the birds, love what others are doing with them, and your card
    turned out with such great texture and design.

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

I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them.

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.
