Spring Where Are You?

Hello friends.

It is cold, and I am ready for Spring. I have some pretty flowers to share with you.

This one was made with the Spellbinders Geranium and Wooden Bucket dies. I water colored the background, the bucket and the flowers using watercolor paper and Daniel Smith watercolors. I was inspired by the Art Nudge 225C inspiration photo here:


The challenge is open to all artists of any type - textile, paper, oil, watercolor, stamping, mixed media, sculpture, cookies, etc. 

I have more flowers after doing the watercolor and sketch challenges on Splitcoaststampers.com this week:

The watercolor challenge was based on a tutorial video by MarenaArt which can be found HERE. The sketch card is the one on the right. 

Don't you love the Unity stamp on the left - so encouraging. 

I loved painting the loose poppies so much that I painted the boiled egg I made for my chicken salad - lol.

I am late for T-day again over at Elizabeth's Blog - I am always the caboose lately (but at least I am showing up). We always share a drink related item in our post, and anyone is welcome to join in. This week, I am drinking a new to me tea from The Republic of Tea. I really like it. 


I hope the remainder of your week is wonderful. Thanks for dropping by.

Hugz,

Nancy

    Hi Nancy. I'm feeling just like you with flowers and it being cold. Wow, your flowers are gorgeous. You could make some beautiful Easter eggs too if you painted them. I hope all is well and you warm up soon. hugs-Erika

    I always love seeing your cards. I really LOVE the poppies. That egg is stunning. Sorry I am late visiting, but I am thrilled beyond belief that you shared your T Stands For Tuesday post with us this week. Your pumpkin pie chai sounds delicious. I love anything pumpkin.

    Nancy, that bucket of germaniums just blows me away!! PLEASE tell me you are going to frame it?! I adore your poppies, too, and love that you feel inspired and confident enough to take the time to turn a boiled egg into a little work of art!! 🤯Hugs, Darnell

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

I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff!

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!
