THe IC challenge has us going to the Needlepoint.com site. I did Needlepoint when I was younger but nothing like these lovely sets. I was inspired by this lovely snowy bird needlepoint set:
I was also inspired by a challenge I have been playing with Lacyquilter (Melody). We have been challenging each other to have some fun playing with our beloved SU! Natural Beauty stamp sets. This time our challenge was to do really wintry card. Here is her awesome winter bridge card:
I used an old hymnal page for my base, cut up and painted some cardboard, squished up some straw material I have hoarded for years, added a flower, stamped some leaves and the bird from the set, sponged the images and the edges of the panels, and then added a bunch of flecked on Snowtex.
With the torn edges, this also fits MIX261 - I have ink, paint, and Snowtex as my Media.
Many hugz!

Nancy, I looked at this before and was sure I'd left a comment but couldn't find it here... I'm very interested in using an old hymnal that is falling apart and to take out the pages of beloved hymns and use them on some very special cards--so I was extremely interested in looking at your art. WOW!!! I absolutely love it, so much texture and so much detail and the layers of product you've used make this a treasure in so many ways!!!
How wonderful it is when we can create something that also highlights our worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, what is better than this!
Thank you, Nancy, for inspiring me with this wonderful work, I so often learn from you simply by looking at your phenomenal cards. What a blessing!
