Bible Journalling Adventure

I had the privilege of doing another Bible Journalling class with the lovely Lydell Quin at Paper Flourish yesterday. We journaled with the inspiration of Psalm 47.

I used my Stampin' Write markers with an Aqua painter and really loved how they worked together. By putting a layer of Gesso on the bible page first, you can then move the ink around with the aqua painter and get a lovely watercolour effect. A touch of Wink of Stella just gave it a little bit of sparkle. I don't usually like to cover over the words of scripture, but you can still read through, and this is also my bible totally dedicated to journalling.
