Bible Journaling

It's been awhile since I've done any Bible journaling. I did two quick pages this morning featuring verses from John 14 and Isaiah 41.

The first page was stenciled using the Bold Bloom and Diamond Mesh stencils from Creative Worship Stamps. The second page used a paper doily and some fussy cut leaves and sunflower from the Live by Faith papers by Creative Worship Stamps.

Have a blessed day everyone!  ~Wanda
 

Hope in Him

 

The background was created using 3 different "pretty papers" so I entered this into a challenge called Love Those Pretty Papers challenge blog. I had the background panel in my leftover pile, so this was a rather quick card to throw together. I stamped images in black pigment ink then clear embossed. I used an aquapainter brush to blend distress inks onto the florals.

STAMPS: Your Friendship, Hope in the Lord (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold distress inks (Ranger).

PAPER: 12x12" scraps of designer paper; Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink); Watercolor paper (Ranger).

WAW Eucalyptus

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time we are featuring Proverbs 16:32. I recreated the verse in a Word document to modernize some of the wording and used the English Standard Version. Since the Stamp Simply company is sponsoring this challenge, I used their Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp/die set for my card.

I'm continuing to whittle away at my leftover pile and had a lot of extra eucalyptus sprays already stamped using distress inks. The background was already made using the Coverplate Exquisite die over soft stone paper. 

STAMPS: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply).

INK: Variety of distress inks.

PAPER: Stampers Select, Soft Stone (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply); Coverplate Exquisite,  Love to Layer: Ovals (PTI). 

OTHER: Crinkled seam binding.

We would love to have you play along with us! One lucky participant will win a $25 gift card from Stamp Simply.  Happy stamping!  Wanda
