I have been busy making cards for the Mission in our Church, I'm sharing a couple here - with wine labels. These were found in the bin by my son who was working in a 'Cave' with his boss. They are such great little canvasses to work with, the quality of the paper is exceptional and reacts especially well with distress inks.
The above card is stamped with an image from Artistic Outpost - never use that stamp but it looks so effective now.
This card uses a Hydrangea image from Inkadinkado, which I bought once when I was in America and still love it.
And this card using an image from Darkroom Doors. No Hero Arts Stamps this time :) but they are still my favorite.
Now for a little tip about what you can do when you barbecue. If you have bushes of Rosemary in the garden, just put three or four branches on the coals, under the grill, to flavor your meat! I saw this on one of Jamie Oliver's programmes. The above picture is Rosemary from my garden. I am discovering this herb as never before and use it a lot in the kitchen!
Wieder so wunderschöne feine Karten.
ReplyDeleteChapeau!

Ditto to the post above me, Jacqueline......because of my faith I KNOW what my future is, if not on earth, surely in Heaven!

All are such lovely creations Jacqueline, those wine labels are a terrific find! Don't you just love cooking with fresh herbs, no salt needed! Have a great weekend, Ira
ReplyDeleteThese cards are so beautiful. It just goes to show what we can find to use in our creativity, if our minds are open and we are aware! We also need to keep our minds open and be aware in our relationship to God! That being said, I think you are really the best at doing this in your creativity and in your relationship with God. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have turned those wine labels into works of art! And I am so priviledged to be the recipient of card No. 3! Thank you Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful labels turned into GORGEOUS cards--loved your post, too--God's love is abundant . . .
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely beautiful, creative and very impressive
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, your blog is like "one-stop shppping!" Inspiration, spiritual food, atristic beauty, and even cooking tips! I agree, God's love is endless...He knows our hearts, our minds, our words before we even speak them; there is no place we can hide from His endless love. How comforting to remember, even in our scariest, darkest moments!
ReplyDeleteI just got my little packet of wine labels today, so happy you've shared so much lovely inspiration! Thank you my friend, the card you sent is a beauty too!
ReplyDeleteI took your words of faith to heart, they were perfectly timed for my situation. Praise God!

Wow you´ve been busy. I adore your cards and love the way you inked the stamps.
ReplyDeleteI have not used my wine labels. I am such a slow starter with anything new.
Have a nice sunday.
I have never had anything happen to me that has ever made me question my faith. And a pray I never do! I do hope it only makes me move closer to him!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your cards.. They look so beautiful.
And I just received my package yesterday in the mail.. The card you made is so beautiful and I can't wait to use those wine labels.. Thanks you so much..

ReplyDeleteThese wine labels are wonderful to use as a base for your cards. Stamped on top of it it looks like they were meant for each other. And the result is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteYes we have to trust and keep faith; but I can imagine it must be hard sometimes. That's why I am impressed by your strength and positive attitude. You are an example.
And Rosemary; one of my faves to use in the kitchen; they are also lovely with roasted potatoes. Put chopped potatoes ( pieces of 5x5 cm) in the oven and sprinkle some olive oil and some rosemary. In the oven at 200 degrees Celsisus for about 45 minutes. You can cook them shortly for about 5 minutes before you put them in the oven. Just stir after 20 minutes for an equal roast ( how do you say that in English..) The taste is delicious!
Its amazing how God brings us through all kinds of trials with such love and grace! Obviously you are the stronger for it! Love those wine labels. Love using rosemary of the BBQ.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqualine, I love these cards. Can you tell me more how you made them? Can you tell me how you got the color affect on the hydrangea?
ReplyDeleteHow do I get wine labels?
