Bible Journaling - Sun & Stars

 A couple of simple Bible journaling pages. 

 

Bible Journaling - Bee Gracious

Another Bible journaling page...this time highlighting Proverbs 16:24. I started with older, hardly ever used stencils from the July 2023 Surprise Box and from the Grunge Alphabet stencils at Papertrey Ink. I used Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Black Soot, Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap, Wild Honey distress inks. The "BEE" word was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink using the Typewriter Keys Caps Alpha set from Creative Worship Stamps. You can get this set free with a $75 order through the end of April!

Happy stamping!  ~Wanda 

Freshly Made Sketches

 

I used the new layout for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I had a leftover 'measuring tape' panel so started with that. I used the Diamond Mesh stencil with Bundled Sage distress ink for the card base. A trio of stitched circle dies are behind the daisies colored with Copics after stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Blending Card.

STAMPS: Flowers in Bloom, Be Encouraged, Vintage Snippets (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Tea Dye, Bundled Sage distress; Versafine Clair Nocturne; Memento Tuxedo Black.

PAPER: X-Press It Blending Card, Stamper's Select White (PTI).

DIES: Flowers In Bloom (CWS); Stitched Circle & Banner STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Diamond Mesh stencil (CWS); Corner rounder; Copics (B93, B95, B97, G21, YG63, Y15, YR23, E31, E33, E35).

 TGIF! Thanks for stopping by.  ~Wanda

 

Bible Journaling - Light of the World

 

Another Bible journaling page completed...this time with Matthew 5:14-16 as the inspiration verses. With the light of the world theme, I went to an old stamp/die set from Papertrey Ink called Vintage Lantern. I used dye inks from Pinkfresh Studio and Papertrey Ink in addition to Versafine Clair Nocturne. The "YOU" was stamped using a freebie stamp set in April - Typewriter Keys Caps Alpha - with a $75 order or more from Creative Worship Stamps. Check them out HERE.

Word Art Wednesday April 15

The weeks are rolling by in April and it's time once again for a new Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time we have a verse from Psalm 4:8 for our inspiration. The verse is part of a psalm written by David, likely during a time of intense personal distress.  It emphasizes finding rest and security in God's sovereignty, rather than relying on external circumstances. The "peace" mentioned is a direct result of trusting in God's presence. 

It doesn't show up well in the photos but I sprayed the butterflies with Sheer Shimmer "Sparkle" spray which gives them a fun sheen IRL.

  

STAMPS: Made New (Creative Worship Stamps); Verse printed at 60% size.

INK: Memento Tuxedo Black.

PAPER: Bloom & Wild 6x6 pad (Craft Consortium); X-Press It Blending Card; Stamper's Select White (PTI).

DIES: Made New (Creative Worship Stamps); Extravagant Floral Frames (PTI).

COPICS: B00, B02, B24, YG00, Y18, R20, RV02, RV04.

We have another generous sponsor for this challenge and you only have a chance to win if you join us and enter a card! Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!  ~Wanda

Bible Journaling Begins

I have admired the beautiful Bible journaling pages from a variety of artists and finally took the plunge! I bought an ESV single column journaling Bible by Crossway. I looked at quite a few YouTube tutorials to get some guidance with what inks to use, etc. I started with 2 pages yesterday and 2 more today. It's very addicting! But...I still have lots to learn.

This page lacks something, so I plan to go back and add more color to the large FAITH stamp. I will probably stamp it on paper and color with Copics then adhere to the Bible page. I'm open to any suggestions from you have mastered this process! 

As with the first page shown, I used more of the free printables from Creative Worship Stamps since I had taken their Live By Faith course a few weeks ago and this was a sweet perk. 

This page uses stamps from a Sizzix set (#666704) by 49th & Market. Only the foliage dies are from Creative Worship Stamps' Foliage die set. I also learned to go lighter with my yellow highlighter and I barely get any bleed through.

Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda
 

The Paper Players

 

This week it's color week - yellow, gray, black - for the Paper Players challenge. I created a collage background then added the tulip focal point. The sentiment tends to get lost in the background, so next time I might try something different...maybe white embossing on a yellow background? I clear embossed the tulip and colored with Copics.

 

STAMPS: Script Sentiments, Texture Textiles, Vintage Snippets, Blooming Tulip (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Lost Shadow, Black Soot distress.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White (PTI); Bristol Smooth Surface.

DIES: Script Sentiments, Blooming Tulip (Creative Worship Stamps); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things). 

OTHER: Diamond Mesh stencil (CWS); Clear embossing powder, Copics. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
