Saved by Grace card with Joy Clair~

Hi guys!
It is my turn on the Joy Clair blog.
I'm sharing a card using the Saved by Grace set and Scriptures of Love set
 by Joy Clair.  The card is pretty and simple ~ great combination!!!

The background is stamped with different sizes of the rose flower from the Saved by Grace set, in random places on the card front.  Color is added using Distress Oxide inks.  Extra leaves are stamped and trimmed out and added to the card using  3D foam squares adhesive.  The sentiment is double matted in coordinating cardstock and adhered to the card front.  The card is then double matted and adhered to a folded card base. Twine and ink splats are added for texture.  Very simple but pretty card ~
I love pretty simple too!!!

Bible journaling with Joy Clair~

Hi guys!
It is my turn on the Joy Clair Blog!

I wanted to share an art journal page I created using the Saved by Grace 
set by Joy Clair.

It is so fun to create in my art journal!!! Love it !!!
The background is created by using Distress Oxides watered down and
then use a water brush to add color to the white spaces.  Easy!!!

Also used is the Books Of The Bible by Joy Clair.
Great for labeling or adding verses to your pages.

The flowers were stamped on watercolor paper, colored (with the same ink used
to create the background) and then trimmed out and added to the pages.
The stencils used are by ARTplorations/Helen G. (check em' out)!! Very cool.

Word Art Wednesday and Joy Clair~

Hi guys!!

I'm participating in Word Art Wednesday using

stamps by Joy Clair!  Word Art Wednesday is a challenge blog

 using scripture, as a starting point, to create a card.

This month you have the option of using the following
scripture on your card but it is not required to participate.

Joy Clair has a fabulous selection of bible Journaling stamps

called Color By Faith.  I started  there, using the Prayer Warrior set by Joy Clair.

I'm doing a personal study on prayer so this set speaks to me on many levels.                                       

The background for the card was created using Distress Oxides, watered down,

and the card front is placed in the wet ink, picking up random sections of ink.  It

is then dried and touched up adding more ink.  The main image is stamped

over the background with Archival ink/Jet Black.  The paper is torn on one edge

 and then mounted on brown and green cardstock.  The card front is then attached

to a folded card base.  The arrow is added and then colored in

 with watered down Distress Oxide ink.  The sentiment is stamped and then the

cardstock paper is torn to match the card front.  Buttons and twine are

 added to complete the card.

Go to Word Art Wednesday to link up a card and view all the beautiful

created cards being displayed.

Color By Faith Blog Hop with Joy Clair!

Welcome to the COLOR BY FAITH BLOG HOP!!!

Hi, Connie here with an art journal page, using two of the Joy Clair stamps sets from the Color By Faith Collection.  One of the sets is from the new release called Blossom and the other is called Prayer Warrior.  Joy Clair stamps are designed to go together when creating a project, so keep that in mind.  Grab a stamp from different sets and mix it up.

I started by using a background I had cleaned my roller on.  Vintage paper was added along with some watered down paint.  Stencils were added with modeling paste for dimension. The cactus images were stamped, in random spots, and then colored with acrylic paint.

The cactus images were outlined with white acrylic paint.  The sentiments were stamped with black archival ink and then highlighted, using a water brush, with Distress Oxide ink.  This was done on watercolor paper.  The edges of the watercolor paper were torn and then adhered to vintage book paper.  The inside of some of the letters were highlighted with green watered down acrylic paint.
