Napkin Inspired Magnolias

Splitcoaststampers.com featured Ferris Wheels and Carousels as the site for the Inspiration Challenge this weekend.  I picked THIS set of napkins by Michel Design as my inspiration. 
When I saw the napkins, the SU! Good Morning Magnolia set popped in my mind.  I stamped the large magnolia, masked it, and stamped it again. Then masked them both and stamped the little magnolia bud.  I colored it all with watercolors.  I embosed the Thinking of You sentiment and the little leaf in the set.

Of course, I finished it all off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. 

Thanks for stopping by and many 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
