Northern Lights, Flowers, and Some Snow

 Did some catch up on Splitcoaststampers.com.  This week's watercolor challenge was on the Northern Lights watching THIS video.  


As this was done in my Journaling Bible after a layer of gesso, the watercolor paint took on some directions of its own.  I panicked at first, but liked it in the end.  This is Proverbs 3 which is not about light, but knowledge and instruction are light and Solomon gave us plenty of that in his words.  I picked out my favorite words - ones we all need right now.  Linking this as my last entry in Erika's Favorite Things theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* as I love Bible Journaling, watercolors, and the Northern Lights.  Proverbs is also one of my favorite books in the Bible.  

The SCS Watercolor challenge the week before was on Cherry Blossoms.  The gesso made the blossoms a challenge but I did find a way to love this page as well.  After doing the flowers, I sponged over the whole page with Distress Oxide Picked Rasberry and around the edges with Vintage Photo.  Then I stamped the DRS Designs Script Font background in Vintage Photo as well.  This page is Proverbs 1 and I picked my favorite words out of it as well.

I did the Featured Stamper challenge to casing THIS card by Gayle Blair. My stamps are all from DRS Designs. 

Hope you have had an awesome weekend.  I sure did!  

Hugz,

Nancy

    Wow Nancy, you have 2 absolutely beautiful pages. Your snow effect is beautiful, and the colors of your northern lights are wonderful. Nice you then take us to beautiful spring cherry blossoms. And your card is beautiful. I would think you live in New Hampshire with these great winter scenes. Nice quote too on your card. Thanks so much for your participation this month. It is much appreciated. See you here at AJJ next month. Have a great start to February. Hugs-Erika

    Loving your watercolour art! The Northern lights look so beautifully painted and I'm loving the snow card too 😁. We've had some snow flurries today but they didn't last long and nothing has settled. Take care! Hugs, Jo x
