Faith Journey Blog Hop

Welcome to the Amazing Journey Blog Hoppers Hop! This month’s theme is Faith Journey.  I'm so happy you're hoppin' along! If you arrived here from Becky's blog, you're on the right track. If not, that's ok too! Just continue the hop and you'll come full circle!

I have loved Tim Holtz' Crazy birds for a long time, and was so excited to see the Pretty Birds ATS. I love how cute these are, and I can  look at the ideas I've saved to use with the Crazy birds and use it for my Pretty Birds if I'm ever stuck.  To color this bird, I used the Rich Sorbets PanPastels; they are so easy to blend together.

Of course the birds are cute, but I think what makes them work are the words on the card and the backgrounds.  For the background, I stamped the Ink Splat ATS with the Cool Pool True Color Fusion Ink Pad, Pineapple Smoothie True Color Fusion Ink Pad, and the Pretty Amethyst True Color Fusion Ink Pad, then I added a few Rainbow Drops  with Journey Glaze.

The scripture is from the Faith Journey collection Trust the Lord Stamp Set.  I firmly believe in this saying.  He is the Great "I Am".   He can fulfill every need that I have.  It may not be on my time schedule, and I may think some of my wants are needs, but He knows best. The older I become and the more experience I have, the more I see the validity in this statement.

Thank you for stopping by today, be sure to head to Karen’s blog next.

Proverbs 3:5

This is the 6th card in a series I've done using color splashes and stamp sets in the Faith Journey collection.  This sentiment is from the Trust the Lord [SS-0365] set.  To cut the verse out, I simply used a pencil and traced around the stamp itself before stamping the sentiment and then cut along the pencil lines.

Joshua 1:9

I like to jokingly say that 'Glitter is my signature color'.  I truly love how shiny the Journey Sparkle Dust[AC-0013] is.  For this card, I mixed Blue Lagoon Acrylic Paint[JM-0018] with Journey Modeling Paste [JM-0073] and applied with Starburst Lines- Stencil[JM-0007] using a Spatula[TO-0089].  I put the blue Rainbow Drops[AC-0178] in the large blank areas and stamped the sentiment from Through the Storm [SS-0364] with Blue Lagoon True Color Fusion Ink Pad[IP-0002] and cut out with a Journey Ovals[DI-0042]. I used Blue Lagoon 8.5 x 11 Card stock[CS-0004] for the card base.
