Scrapping Everday Miracles August Challenge

It's time for our August challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles!

Our Scripture Focus - Genesis 50:20
As Far As I Am Concerned, God Turned Into Good What You Meant For Evil.

This month I did a Journal page using our Scripture Focus

 I made the background by applying gesso on the page, and then I used bubble wrap and some stencils pressed into the gesso.  I lightly sprayed it with a couple of light colors of spray ink.  I had made some painted circles on an old book page and cut them out.  I used two of them on this, gluing them down on my page.   The text was added using my Paint Shop Pro program.

Scrapping Everyday Miracles July's Challenge

It's time for our July challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles!

Our Scripture Focus - Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those who are crushed in spirit.

This month I did a mixed media project on canvas using our Scripture Focus

 I started out the background of my canvas piece using a purple paint.  I then used some molding paste and a stencil.  I then painted a pink & purple mixture over that.  The flower on the background was also done using a stencil and red paint.  Then I painted the heart on.  I printed out the Psalm and cut the sentences up and then distressed the edges with black ink.  The butterflies and the flowers are stamped on.  I finished the edges of the canvas with black ink, then used a white pastel stick on top of that.

Zigzag Postcard Book

I took one of the online classes offered at His Kingdom Come called Zigzag Postcard Book.

It was a total of five different techniques on 6x4 Watercolor paper (or you could also use Mixed Media paper.)   You attach all your finished pieces to make the book with a piece of cloth.   You also have the backs of the book to decorate.    I really enjoyed doing this class.

Here is my finished book - the front cover, the backs of my pages, & the front technique pages.

The 5 techniques used are:

Wet Watercolor and Cling Wrap

Stenciling

Paper Piecing
(which I really messed up on...so I ended up painting mine)

Mini File Folder

Watercolor wet on wet

Sunday Mornings 2 Journaling - with Guest Artist Jeanette Montero

I am taking an online Christian art class by Mindy Lacefield called Sunday Mornings 2 Journaling

Today's lesson featured guest artist Jeanette Montero

Here is the lesson

This lesson was a joy to do.  Jeanette provided the template for the butterfly and the leaves.

It is all hand painted on.  I hand wrote in all the words.

This doesn't really look like Jeanette's lesson did, but I am very happy with it.

I am really enjoying these lessons a lot.
