The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #80

Welcome from Annette’s blog.

This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

A different type of project this week. I have just ventured into the world of Bible Journaling and thought I would use this weeks colour challenge to motivate me with MY very first entry. I had seen so many beautiful projects on Pinterest that I decided that I wanted to have a go myself. I went to a class last Sunday and I have just gone on from there. It is a great way to record, in a creative way, the things that God is teaching me through his word.

I really should have done a base coat of Gesso before getting creative, but it hadn't arrived in time and I was a little impatient to get started, so the Stampin' Write markers did go through the paper. Never mind, I will just have to Gesso the back instead to cover it up. I used my large aqua painter with the Rose Red Stamp pad to do the base of watercolour, I then used my black Stampin' Write Marker to go over the text that I wrote first in lead pencil The Cotton Paper and Glassine sheets are great for adding die cuts to my Journaling bible without adding any extra bulk. I am really looking forward to doing more of these.
