True Beauty

Here's another page in my new mini art journal featuring products in stock at Creative Worship Stamps. I'm excited that Korin started carrying this this little journal in the CWS store.  

To create this page, I combined Princess Pink and White acrylic paint and brushed it on my background. Next, I stamped numbers from the NEW Pick a Number stamp set in Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide. For the top layer I used the Delightfully Delicate Stencil and white Gesso to add a little extra design. 

The flowers/leaves were stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, fussy cut, and splattered with white acrylic paint. A bit of white lace, gold wire, and pink rhinestones complete this page.

He holds the future

Today's mixed media card features the NEW Victory Blooms stamp and die set from Creative Worship Stamps. To create the background I spritzed and smooshed a piece of mixed media paper with Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio Distress Sprays. Next I used the palette knife to spread crackle paste through the Leaf Fronds stencil. The flowers and leaves were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I splattered both the background and the flower with diluted white acrylic paint. The edges of the background and the sentiment were distressed with a pair of open scissors. Three pretty pink sequins and an inspiring sentiment complete this card.

Your Word Is Truth

   I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog with this mini art journal layout featuring their dahlias stamp set. To create the background I mixed together two shades of green acrylic paint and dry brushed it onto the watercolor paper. Next, I added swirls with white gesso and the Flourish TH stencil and stamped a bit of text using one of the scripty backgrounds. The flowers were stamped on mixed media paper, die cut, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, and splattered with white acrylic paint. A Scripture sentiment and three green sequins complete this page.

Be Strong

 Today's card features the two new stamp sets from Creative Worship Stamps. I love the big Scripture sentiment stamp, but I confess, sometimes I struggle with using sentiments that large. I started to create a plain kraft and black card, but on a whim I added the yellow flowers in my "scrap bin" from a failed previous projects. I'm loving the pop of color they add. The flowers and leaves were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I inked the edges of my kraft panels with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add just a bit more depth and interest.
