A Bit of Snow (On Paper At Least)

Hello Friends.

I am off today so I used this morning to catch up one of my favorite challenges - Global Design Project.

There is lovely sketch with still a bit more time to get it in -  Global Design Project (#GDP374).  

I flipped the sketch since I like my cards tall.

I  had a piece of cardboard from a present so I cut it down, painted on some snow, stamped the tree from SU! Snow Front and a greeting from SU! Petal Palette. These are some older sets, but still much loved.  The embossing folder is also an older SU! folder - one of my all time favorites. 

Happy New Year - it is almost here!

Hugz, 

Nancy

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

The Snuggle or Struggle is Real

Hello friends, Isn't this new House Mouse Image the cutest?  I am so glad that Spellbinders has partnered with House Mouse and brought in new images.  I was inspired to add birch trees and snow after seeing THIS  pretty card.  The snow is done with Snowtex which is one of my favorite winter mediums, and I painted the birch trees with black acrylic paint mixed with water and painted with an old credit card.  Everything else was painted with Daniel Smith watercolors. This is being entered in the HMFMC#402 which is Anything Goes with an option of rainbow.  While you might not think of a rainbow when you see this card, I actually used a lot of colors in the painting: yellows, browns, pinks, reds, and blues.  Some are not obvious because they are mixed with other colors or a very light.   Thanks for dropping by.  I have been a little under the weather lately, but I am feeling much better.   Hugz, Nancy
