spring into abstract






This is my interpretation of an abstract flower growing in the wet rainy weather. This card looks better in person. It is drawn in my new favorite charcoal pencils. I love these new pencils.......

It looks really cool in the black mat that is made for atc cards. Maybe tomorrow I will take a picture of it in a mat so you can see how nice it looks.


This is one of Michelle's (my wife) favorite cards... In this old notebook that a pastor gave me I found this example of how to write a funeral sermon... I copied it using a colored copier so that the paper would be yellowed like the original and then distressed it. I found this black and white picture of a woman who I colored with color pencils. She looked like she is setting in church. I then took a grunge board heart and flourish by Tim Holtz and painted them. I then put some embossing powder on both then heated the embossing powder until it burned in areas. The butterfly is a scrapbook embellishment that I grunged up with Tim Holtz distress ink.


I found this picture of this Guy in some old religious news letters that I had. I dreamed it was the husband of the wife who is grieving in the above card.... I found an old hymnal music page I then used a Tim Holtz crown mask so that the music would show. I painted over the music with brown paint then collaged the man who was grunged up so that it would look old... I then painted the grunged board wings by Tim Holtz in a brass paint. I did it very thick and sloppy so that it would have a nice texture... I then found the words "The Prince Joseph" in a stack of old sermons that again were a gift from the pastor friend. It was a sermon title.
