Kingdom Come - Week 3 Lesson

I am taking an online art class called Kingdom Come

It's a free 5 week series about the wonderful aspects of Christ Jesus, Praise and Worship, and His Church.

It will be taking a look at 5 themes and making art around those themes.

I just completed the Week 3 Lesson.  Here is my project.

 The lesson is called Anchor For My Soul.

Hebrews 6:19-20
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Colossians 2:6-7
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

The background is pages from an old book, then covered with a light coat of white paint. Then a light coat of blue paint on the top part of the page, and light brown on the bottom part of the page.  The tree and anchor were hand drawn on and then painted in.  The blossoms on the top part of the tree are also painted on.  I then added stickers on it.   I messed up on the top part of this, my blossoms were to dark so I tried to lighten them up with a light coat of white paint, which I think made it look worse.

Here is the Link for this series.

you are more beautiful.....

Made this card to send to a friend of mine.

The background is paper that I purchased at our local craft store...both pieces are the same sheet (double sided paper.)   I used a Unity stamp set called Faceless Beauty by Angie Blom.  I colored her in with Promarkers, then distressed the edges and sponged on brown ink around all the edges.

The challenge at Unity Challenge Blog has these inspiration pictures to use.

I used the colors in the top picture, and the card sketch in the lower left hand side.

I am thankful for the beautiful fall colors that we are having.

Merry Christmas Card (Early)

I made this early Christmas card for the challenge at Art Impressions.

The background is made using Gelatos.  I then stamped on a country christmas tree from ODBD's...coloring it in with Promarkers.  I stamped this cute Art Impressions stamp called Fred & Millie - from the Golden Oldies collection. I also used Promarkers to color it in, then I cut it out and attached it to my card.   I then hand wrote on the Merry Christmas with a red Promarker.

On top of it I sprinkled on white glitter to give it some sparkle - and it make it look like it is snowing.

I am kind of disappointed in the picture...you cannot see the sparkle as much on here as you can on the actual card.

thinking of you

Made this card to send to a friend.

For the base of my card I used a green distressed marker to make the grass...and blue & pink Gelatos for the sky.   I stamped on the girl (I picked up this stamp at Goodwill) and colored her in with Promarkers.  Also stamped on the thinking of you.  I used a free dog digi from Starry Nights Studio, coloring it in with Promarkers and then cutting it out and gluing it on.  I then added on four puffy sticker butterflies.

Kingdom Come - Week 2 Lesson

I am taking an online art class called Kingdom Come

It's a free 5 week series about the wonderful aspects of Christ Jesus, Praise and Worship, and His Church.

It will be taking a look at 5 themes and making art around those themes.

I just completed the Week 2 Lesson.  Here is my project.

 The Lesson is called Get Out Of The Boat!

from Matthew 14:22-33
The background layer is made using tissue paper to create texture.  Then I added several colors to try to create a storm effect for the sky and water.  All the layers of paint are spread on using an old credit card.  I then hand drew my sail boat on.    I hand wrote the Get Out Of The Boat using white and black markers.   I printed out the Matthew 14:22-33 and attached it to the top of the page.

Matthew 14:22-33

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,
24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said,“why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Gratitude

Made this for the Mini Crop at Scrapping Everyday Miracles for Helen's challenge #5 Color Inspirations.   Here is her color palette to use.

I used an 8x10 canvas.  I sponged on the color Champagne on the background.  Then with stencils I sponged on leaves in the colors Autumn Terracotta, Goldrush & Olive.  I stamped on the tree and colored it in with Olive & Autumn Terracotta.  I then stamped on the Gratitude Turns What We Have Into Enough & Ah Autumn in the color Chocolate.   I then added some stickers of leaves and a scarecrow.

Hope you will come over and play along in our Mini Crop at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.

It's a lot of fun...and there are six different challenges to play along with!

Made another art journal page.

This adorable image is made by Nicci Battilana and can be purchased Here - she is called Sheri's A Doll.  For the background I used several colors of Gelatos with water.  I traced on the image onto my page, coloring her in with distressed markers.  I drew on the umbrella, hearts, grass and flowers in the grass.  The flower on the right hand top of the page is a stencil, along with the words.  The swirls are sponge stamps.
