Pink Pumpkins and a Bit of Magic

Hello crafty friends.

Two fabulous pictures inspired this fun Halloween card:  The Inspired By challenge picture for this week and THIS lovely Huda Makeup available on Selfridges which is the inspiration site for this week's Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com. 

I started by water-coloring the pumpkins and lining/doodling on them with a black Micron Pen. Then I added lots of sponging with distress ink, some fun Tim Holtz die cut ghosts, lot of magical Stickles, and an appropriate chipboard phrase (also Tim Holtz). 

This is my probably my last Halloween card. Now on to more Winter and Christmas fun.

Hugz,

Nancy

    Glad to read that life is going well Nancy. It was hot here fairly late in the season too, unusual for us. I hope you get a good cool down so you can get out and have some fun. Plus that's good news your husband is recovering. Enjoy this week ahead. hugs again-Erika

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
