Some Shamrocks and a Zombie

Today, my kitchen counter has medicine (one of the Grandbabies is sick), a thermometer,  some vitamins, one daughter's sociology book (not sure how she is studying it since she left it here over a week) and my new yoga tape.  I also did some more cards using my SU! Barn door die and some images from DRS Designs.

This first one was made using the DRS Designs Wood Grain Background on my base door panel.  I stamped it and then stamped it again to get a bit more wood grain.  I sponged over it with TH Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.  It was a bit dark so then I sponged over it with Picket Fence and that toned it down enough that you could see the grain again.  It also made it look a bit more aged.  

Then I die cut the hardware and assembled the door.  I then made a plaque using a label die from SU! and stamped the Blessings greeting and the new Shamrock Scroll image.  I needed some Wow so I glittered up some shamrocks and fussy cut them to add them to the plaque.  Super fun.  

Before I started the first card, I really wanted to make a Zombie card because one of the only Walking Dead episodes I have ever watched had zombies locked in a barn.  When they opened that door, it was super scary!!!  I used the DRS Zombie Guy image and the Spooky Eyes Background for this card
I am loving this Barn Door Die.  

What is on your Kitchen Counter today?


Hugz,

    Fabulous!!!! Love that scary looking zombie peeking out. The door on that first one looks just like wood too. Great cards.

    Such fun and creative barn door cards, Nancy. No Zombie's on my kitchen counter..., but I can visualize glittery shamrocks on my counter. TFS both your very different barn door cards, my friend. TFS Hugs..

    Both cards are good but I like the first one more. It is more charming. But I am sure there would be lots of takers for the zombie card as well.

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
