Hello friends.
I am so late with my T-day post that it is s W-day post! Starting with some art first and then my ticket.
This first card was for the Wednesday Watercolor challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com (SCS). THIS is the tutorial we watched. My sentiment is from IO (Impression Obsession), and I used a stencil for the birds. Everything is watercolored with Daniel Smith watercolors.
This next card was for the teaparty challenge which was to celebrate Nick's 79th birthday. He loves blue so I dressed up my CTMH party gnome in blue, did the cake stand in blue, and added a few blue candles. I used
THIS tutorial to do the cake.
My last two cards are using the new S'more Birthday Wishes stamp at DRS Designs. I also stamped the Toasting Marshmallows stamp on this first one. The card is colored up with my trusty Daniel Smith Watercolors and a bit of glitter.
This one has a graham cracker made with an old embossing folder and a few score lines. The marshmallow is some modeling paste.
And now for my T-dayticket is a picture of my daughter's drink at the Montgomery Biscuits Baseball game last week (minor league team). I am linking it up to
Elizabeth's blog as she is our hostess. My daughter didn't like this drink so she let me have a few sips. It is an Alabama Slammer (fruit punch with alcohol), and it was very good. We hadn't been to one of the games previously so this was treat for us to go. I think we may try to go to a few more games this season. Just in case you are wondering, they do sell biscuits at the game and throw them to the audience as well. Super fun.
So happy late T-day or W-day - take your pick.
Hugz,
You are really a talented card maker Nancy. They are all so lovely (you can certainly paint birds nicely), but the s'mores ones are really clever. We went to one of our local minor league team's games a few years ago. They're fun and so much cheaper than a major league game. Have a great week and hope it was a super T day too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBaseball really is in season now, isn’t it? I haven’t been to a game for ages, and never went to very many of them, though I’ve always lived near cities with a Major League team. Your game and drink sound like fun.

The Alabama Slammer sounds like it could be right up my alley! Fun - and I know the game was a lot of fun too.
ReplyDeleteYour watercoloring is fantastic on these cards. LOVE the little birthday cake and gnome - fabulous card for a 79th! The birds are so lovely and wow - so creative on the graham cracker card! Love them all!

There's something special about minor league baseball. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely Wonderful Nancy ! The birdies are so cute, love the colours and the beautiful designs, as for the gnome card too. Your S More Birthday Wishes cards are amazing and funny. Hope you had a lovely T-day, enjoying the minor league team´s game.

ReplyDeleteThose are some special cards Nancy! I'm glad i didn't miss your post. i especially like the S'mores one. So cute and clever! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour work is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am a shameful host, Nancy. I am SO sorry I missed this post until today. You make the most beautiful cards. I am truly impressed with the watercolor birds. They are fantastic. I love them. I also love the S'mores, especially the last one. Talk about mixed media!!! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not a fan of alcohol, the Alabama Slammer sounds good. The only time I enjoy baseball is if I am there. Watching it on TV is very boring to me. So glad you got to go to this ball game. I love the photo you took of the drink and the ball game. Thanks for sharing this and your amazing cards with us for T this week, dear Nancy.
These are all such fantastic makes Nancy! I especially love those birds and the wonderful sentiment that goes with it! Your painting has been so inspirational my friend! Looks like a really fun time at the game! Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful. I like them all, especially the birds. But the graham cracker is really special too with that s´more on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's great you could go to see a game with your daughter. I don't know whether I would like that drink, but it sounds good.
Sorry for the late comment,
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
