Bear Good Fruit

 The Fruit trio of stamp sets from Stamp Simply is on sale this week, and I chose to use two of the sets to create this mini art journal page. I started by ink smooshing four colors of distress oxide onto my page and lightly spot stamping (in hickory smoke distress ink) over it with one of the text stamps from the Fruit of the Spirit set. The fruit and pitcher of flowers were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush pens. I added a piece of die cut lace and a few rhinestones to finish off this layout.  Yellow and blue is still one of my favorite color combos!

He Provides

 Today's card features the NEW He Provides and Loaves & Fishes sets from Creative Worship Stamps. I started by ink smooshing salty ocean distress oxide on watercolor paper and spot stamping the Basket Weave stamp over top. Next, I added fish and the word "provision" to the background using black ink. I distressed the edges for some added textures. All the images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

Scripture Tree

 Today I have a Christmas tag to share with you that features the "out of the vault" Scripture Tree stamp set and NEW coordinating die from Creative Worship Stamps. I used the damask pattern stencil and calico white ink to create and elegant background and cut my card stock into a tag shape. The tree was stamped on the same color of cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. After die cutting, I inked around the edges with peacock feathers distress ink to make them stand out a little more. The slightly darker panel was stamped with the new Basket Weave stamp (you can get his stamp for FREE this month with any purchase of $75 or more). Some rhinestones, lace, and sari ribbon add texture to my monochromatic holiday tag!
