Genuine Art Journal Page ~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing an Art Journal page using
stamps and stencils by Creative Worship.  My favorite part
about the process is the background.  I love
adding in all the elements and have it come together! 

I'm using Distress Oxide Inks to create the background.  I water
down the ink and dab the page in the ink.  Then heat dry after each
color is added.  Start adding in the stencils using the inks from
the background.  The next step is adding the stamps. Decisions, decisions!
The words are important to me.  On this one the phrases tell the message.

They all spoke to me so added them in random places
of the page. 

Products used: Stamps: Creative Worship: Texture Tiles 1, Authentic Faith,
Foliage Silhouettes, and Nature Silhouettes. Stencils: Mixed Up, Wonky Grid,
Cross Stitch, Diamond Tile, Leaf Fonds and Delightful Delicate.
Ink: Archival/Jet Black, Distress Oxide and Versafine/Onyx Black.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
other: Posca white marker, acrylic white paint.

Mindful Magnolias Tag

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a tag a started about 3 months ago
and then life happened, so I'm just getting back to
finishing it.  I kept my ink pallet out on my mat, so
that was a win!!

I'm using stamps by Creative Worship. I will list below. The tag
background is a ink mix of Distress Oxides.  

I love adding a fabric tie and a matching button to finish 
the tag.  Speckling with acrylic paint gives a vintage look 
that I love.  Tags look great on a gift package when you don't
have a card handy!
The stamps I used can be found HERE.  Mindful Magnolias,
Nature Silhouette, Authentic Faith, Faith Wordfetti, Too,
Vintage Postage, Psalms 23/BG and Texture Tile 1.

Silhouette Cats by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing 3 cards using the NEW 
Silhouette Cats by Blue Knight Stamps!
These are super cute!!!! They have Silhouette Dogs too!!!

The card on the left is using Fay's Bridge and Silhouette Sportsmen.  The scene is
colored with Panpastels.  The cats are added in using a stamping platform so
I could the right placement.  The sentiment is from One Line sentiments/
lucky you.  The card front is then speckled with white acrylic paint.
The card on the right is using several stamps to create a scene (a truck
full of cats). The background is a mix of Distress Oxide inks.  The tree
is from the Day at Lake set. The truck is from the Rear View Truck Stamp &
Die set.  Also added is Birds ll and Sun/Moon stencil.  The cats are stamped in
the back of the truck and one is roaming.  You will need to mask off the

truck bed to get the cats peeking out. 

This card is using an retired stamp call Bank Barn with 
the Silhouette Cats.  The color is panpastels and the
sentiment is One Line Sentiments/friends rock. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Blossoming Branches by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple of cards from the 
NEW release by Blue Knight Stamps.  The stamp I'm
creating with is called Blossoming Branches!!! So pretty!! 

The card on the left is created using Panpastels for the 
background.  I took 4 coordinating colors and layered them across the
front of the card. I then stamped the Blossoming Branches over the
background. To get the flowers white, I erased the color with a 
Hi-Polymer Eraser (white).  Also added are Birds ll, Dictionary Page/BG
and Birds Song (sentiment).
The card on the right is using a mix of Distress Oxide inks to
create the card background.  I used Dictionary Page and Tell Me
the Story of Jesus/BG stamps for an added mixed media element.
Also added are Branches & Leaves (bird) and Birds Song (sentiment).
The silhouette branches, at the bottom of the card, are from the
Silhouette Birds & Branches set.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.
