This is my Father's World

This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere. 

 I finally got brave enough to try hymnal journaling in this old hymnal I bought at a yard sale last year.  I have to admit it's a little scary since it's in a book and you can't just discard the page and start over if you mess up or don't like something. This may end up being my first and last page as it's harder than it looks! lol

Today's page features products from Creative Worship Stamps. I started by prepping my page with a layer of clear gesso since I wanted to be able to move the colors of my flowers around. I stamped the flowers and leaves (masking off to create layers) in Versafine Clair Nocturen Ink and colored them with Arteza Real Brush Pens. The stenciled design was added using distress oxide ink and then I splattered the page using diluted black acrylic paint. I finished off the page with a tag and die cut butterfly.

Poppy Birthday

  I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog with this pretty poppies birthday card. The background was created by stamping the poppy stamp in prize ribbon distress ink on white card stock. I stamped one of the scripty backgrounds over top and lightly inked the paper with the same ink. The main image was stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I die cut two ovals, one in blue and one in white, and embossed the white one with a 3D embossing folder from Altenew. The sentiment was stamped, fussy cut, and layered over the poppies.
