Bible Journaling

 

More Bible journaling using stamps/dies/stencils from Creative Worship Stamps: Loaves & Fishes stamp & die set, Under the Sea stencil. Images were colored using Prismacolor pencils.

 

Bible Journaling

A quick post on this very dreary, rainy day! The whole week is much cooler and pretty much forecasting rain daily until the weekend. I haven't done any Bible journaling in quite awhile, so thought I should try some new elements from Creative Worship Stamps. I went with the new Leaf Fronds stencil and added some scattered florals using the Petals & Dots stencil. I hand lettered the sentiment.

For this page, I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black then colored with Prismacolor pencils. I used the Patient Echinacea stamp set and the new Denim Texture stencil from CWS.

Echinacea

 

Good Monday evening! I finished this card this afternoon for three different challenges:
1. Cupcake Inspiration #641 - magenta, pistachio, turquoise

2. Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #700

3. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - make your own background. 

 

 

Out of my large stash of inks, I could not find a good color for "magenta", so I combined a blend of Dusty Concord and Picked Raspberry distress inks. I stamped the florals with Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink then clear embossed. The coloring was done by pouncing distress inks onto an acrylic block, spritzing lightly with water then applying with an aqua painter brush.

 

I experimented with some distress spray stains on Bristol Smooth Surface paper using Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet. I used these same colors with two stencils from Creative Worship Stamps: Leaf Fronds and Speckled. The frame and flower were popped up using foam tape.

 

 

STAMPS: Summer Collage Tag, Patient Echinacea (Creative Worship Stamps).

DIES: Patient Echinacea (CWS); Pierced Feature Frames (Papertrey Ink); Basic Sentiment Suite (The Greetery); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things). 

 

That's it for today...thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda 

3-for-1 Challenge Card

I'm entering this into three different challenges:

1. Paper Funday - sketch.

2. Seize the Birthday -  add a sentiment strip.

3. The Card Concept - inspired by colors and sunflowers.

 

After stamping the images with Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink on X-Press It Blending Card, I clear embossed to make it easier to color with Copics. 

The glare from the embossing is always difficult to photograph. I stenciled dots on the kraft base and after an ink malfunction in the top left corner, I opted to camouflage it with a corner punch! :-/

STAMPS: Framed in Flowers (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Classic Kraft (PTI); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Classic Kraft, True Black (PTI); X-Press It Blending Card; Black & White Plaid (My Favorite Things).

DIES: Framed in Flowers (PTI); Stitched Sentiment Strips (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Corner punch (Stampin' Up); Dot stencil (PTI).

Word Art Wednesday 9/16

 

Hello and welcome to a new Word Art Wednesday challenge! Karen has chosen Proverbs 19:17. I was a rebel once again and rewrote the verse in a Word document using NIV translation. I personally find it easier to understand as compared to the "old language". Gina K Designs is sponsoring this challenge with a $25 gift card up for one lucky participant! I used Gina K's Master Layouts 08 to die cut the strips and the layered rectangles for the sentiment.

STAMPS: None.

INK: Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Bright Buttercup, Amethyst Allure, Blueberry Sky, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Spring Moss, New Leaf, Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Wild Wood (PTI); Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover die (Altenew); Gina K Designs Master Layouts 08. 

Hope to see you in the gallery!  ~Wanda

PTI September Inspiration Challenge

 

There is a monthly Papertrey Ink Inspiration Challenge and for September, we have these colors to work with: Sweet Blush, Harvest Gold and Orange Zest. I started with the pumpkin dies then arranged a collage of leaves around it. It's really dry in VA and the leaves are falling rather early this year. Guess that inspired me to use leaf images!

STAMPS: Inside Greetings: Fall, Fantastic Foliage (PTI).

INK: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse, Honey Nut, Dark Chocolate, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Canyon Clay, Terracotta Tile (PTI); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Bitty Big: Harvest Gold patterned paper.

DIES: Into the Blooms: Pumpkins, Fantastic Foliage, Pierced Feature Frames (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics, Stitched Sentiment Strips (My Favorite Things).

Reminder...there are two $50 gift cards to be given to randomly picked participants. Be a player and you just might be a winner! Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
 

 

Bold Fishes

I started with a bold, ink blended colored background from my leftover pile and added a trio of the folk art style fish from the Loaves & Fishes stamp set by Creative Worship Stamps. I layered it over a background using two newly released stencils - Denim Texture and Speckled - also by CWS. The sentiment is from a mini stamp set -Salt Air Sentiments- from Papertrey Ink.

I'm entering this into the Just Us Girls challenge where it's "word week" and the word is "BOLD". The fish were stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink then I added some tiny "bubble" embellishments. 

That's a wrap for today. Thanks for stopping by! ~Wanda
