A Map and a Mouse

Hello Crafty Friends.

I am sharing a card made for the WT challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com (Map theme) and the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #449 which is Anything Goes (birthday theme optional). 

The joyful House Mouse is cut from a House Mouse calendar. I think he looks so cute against the map image (a retired image from DRS Designs) and the fun block embossed panel. The sentiment and inks are Tim Holtz and Dina Wakely. 

The world really does need who you were made to me.

Hugz,

Nancy

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.

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.

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.
