WAW John 3:16 Blog Hop


Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time we have John 3:16 - a most memorable verse - with a generous sponsor in Unity Stamps. They are offering $25 x 2 (yes, there will be two winners)! This is in addition to prizes being offered from each blog in the annual hop! 

I added eucalyptus sprays to the frame after stamping them with multiple distress inks and spritzing lightly with water prior to stamping them onto watercolor paper. The spritzing gives the images a mottled look. The background was lightly stenciled with a script stencil.

STAMPS: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply).
INK: Salvaged Patina, Speckled Egg, Iced Spruce, Weathered Wood, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters distress inks by Ranger. Sentiment was computer generated.
PAPER: Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink); Water color paper (Ranger); Mint Melody (retired SU).
DIES: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply); Love to Layer: Lovely Bracket (Papertrey Ink); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).
OTHER: Enamel dots; Script stencil 6x6" (Hero Arts).
 
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!  The prize on my blog stop is a stamp set from Gina K Designs, Kokorosa Summer die cut set, and some floral ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I'm glad you used the most known verse from the Bible. I think it's the first verse I memorized. The eucalyptus branches are very pretty. It's a lovely card. [Bunny]

Such a beautiful card! I love the verse on the layering die that you chose and the eucalyptus frames it up perfectly. Merry Christmas!

What a lovely way to display this verse, with the die-cut framing and the watercolored leaves. I always think script makes a lovely background and there's just enough peeking out to add texture without being distracting.
