Lavender Inspiration

I was inspired to do some lavender/purple cards this morning.  I was inspired by a lavender enamel pin on the SCS inspiration site, Wool and Honey, and by Janneke De Jong's beautiful butterfly card everyone is casing on the Global Design Project challenge (#GDP200). 
I made two cards for the IC challenge.  The card on the left is for the GDP200 challenge.

I painted the stamps on my GDP card directly with the watercolors (I did them thick).  I used the SU! Soft Spring and Enjoy Life sets to make the card.  On the second card to the right, I stamped the images with Memento Black and then watercolored them.  I added a lot of sparkles (they didn't show up in my picture very well but there are tons of them) and did a fun epoxy sticker to go with them.

Thanks so much for visiting - I really appreciate it.  I have had some major projects at work and have struggled to find time to create.  I was thrilled to get some time this morning! 

Hugz,

Nancy

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
