Wine of the Week, Wine on TV, and Art

Happy T-day friends!  


The wine of the week for me was The Uprising.  Such a fun name.  It was pretty good - I would buy it again if it comes back on sale.  Isn't the label fun?

I am having a glass of it right now while watching a wine themed movie on Hallmark called Paris, Wine and Romance. 

Such a sweet movie, and how wonderful to see the glimpes of Paris.  I want to try her pinot wine they are all chatting about in the movie.  Wish it was a true story.  I am not normally a Hallmark movie fan, but I am totally enjoying this sappy happy treat.  The wine and the movie are my ticket so I can hang out with the T-day gang at Elizabeth's. 

Art for the week.

Today's technique and CAS challenges on Splitcoaststampers.com were about back to school and lots of ink colors. The sentiment is from Riley & Co and the ruler is from DRS Designs. The ink was applied using reinkers applied directly to a sponge - fun technique. 

Played with some new to me dies from Spellbinders. I watercolored this basket and sponged the leaves and flowers.  Super fun to create this birthday card for my sweet oldest daughter, Crystal. 
Also I tried the water color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com again.  The images are from SU! Good Morning Magnolia. I tried to do it all with no lines but had to add back a few.
Happy t-day and hugz,

Nancy

    Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would buy that for the label alone. It is wonderful. Laughed that it was aged for 30 days. Not very long for wine.

    I just can't get into the Hallmark Channel, although I like HMM for the mysteries. I have never been able to get into chick flicks. Glad you enjoyed it and you want to try that wine.

    LOVE your cards, Nancy. They are wonderful. I have ONE black Staz-on and one black dye ink pad, but I have a TON of reinkers (dye, solvent, pigment, and distress). They are so useful for everything. Glad to read you use reinkers, too. Love that ruler background.

    Thanks for sharing your incredible cards, your movie, and your wine with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    That wine bottle is fabulous, it would make a wonderful candle holder for parties! Your art is beautiful, as always, and my fave piece is the gorgeous card for your lovely daughter! The other cards are both fabulous, too. I'm not a friend of the Hallmark Channel, murder and mayhem are more my thing! Happy T Day, and have a wonderful week, hugs, Valerie

    You created some very beautiful cards, Nancy. I especially like the one for your daughter. To answer your question, yes, the wine we had in Alsace is really good. I tried Gewürztraminer, a Rosé and a Riesling which was my favorite. Riesling in that are usually pretty dry which I prefer. I'm not a big fan of overly sweet wine.

    Beautiful artwork, Nancy. I love watching Hallmark movies. I just watched one Sunday night. It was about a ranch. LOL I can't remember what else. I haven't see the one about Paris yet. I will watch for it. Happy T Day.

    Dear Nancy,
    the wine label looks really adventurous - you can tempt me with that too :-D It's fine if the wine also tastes good and is accompanied by a suitable film.
    I like your cards - I am particularly impressed by the basket with the red flowers!
    All the best and happy T Day

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
