My Redeemer Lives Bible Journaling

Joy Clair

HAPPY EASTER to you and your loved ones! We hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend with you loved ones celebrating the victory in Jesus, our living Redeemer! Death nor grave cannot hold Him. Jesus is alive and the power that rose Him from the death is not living in us.

My Redeemer Lives Bible Journaling

I have a Bible journaling page to share with you today. The reading is from Mark 16:1-8. If you continue reading the whole chapter 16, you will also find more proofs that JESUS is ALIVE by revealing himself to his disciples.

On my journaling page, I use the My Redeemer – Color By Faith Stamp Set with Ranger Black Archival Ink, Distress Oxide, Arteza Woodless Watercolor Pencils, and Waterbrush. I am so very thankful for this creative way we can meditate God’s word and also expressing our love toward him through artwork. And if you are like me who do not draw or paint well, then stamps will be our choices 🙂 Joy Clair has an amazing Bible Journaling – Color By Faith stamp collection!

Head over to Joy Clair blog today to read my full post on how I created this journaling page. I hope you’ll enjoy this post today 🙂 Have a wonderful blessed day!

April Challenge: Mother, You Are Tea-rrific

Joy Clair

Hello everyone… APRIL is here. Today April 1st is special! It is the day we are celebrating Easter Day and also our family is celebrating my mother’s birthday. She is a tea-rrific mother!!!

And this month also we are at Joy Clair blog has a new challenge with new photo inspiration and anything goes theme.

So inspired by my tea-rrific mother and the beautiful photo, I created this CAS card:

April Challenge: Mother, You Are Tea-rrific

I created the background using embossing resist technique with the Tea Party Background Stamp. I stamped it with Versamark Ink on a watercolor paper using the Mini MISTI. I sprinkled some mix Fine White Embossing Powder and Glitter Embossing powder. I heat set it with my craft heater.

After that using smooshing technique, I used the Broken China Distress Oxide Ink and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink. I added each color on craft mat, sprayed water, and dipped the paper. I dried it each time I added color. Then I cut it with one of the Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Dies from STAMPlorations. I added the panel on the white card base.

Next step, I stamped the tea pot and sentiment from Mother’s Day Stamp Set on a white cardstock using Broken China Distress Oxide Ink with Mini MISTI. After that, I fussy cut the tea pot and I cut the sentiment into banner. I added the sentimen banned on the card with adhesive glue and the tea pot with 3D adhesive glue. I finished the card by adding some white pearl gems on it.

I hope you all enjoy this card today. I like the look of chinese tea pot 🙂 I hope you all also can play along with this month challenge. Link up anything goes new project that you created inspired by the photo for chance to win the gift card. Visit Joy Clair blog to read the full rules and inspirations from the team.

I opened the images with Photoshop software and added the gradient colors on the stacked mugs. It was so much fun coloring them digitally. Then I resized them and printed them on a white cardstock. For the sentiment, I open them with the same software, resized and printed them on a white cardstock.

I cut the mugs with one of the Our Daily Bread Design – Squares Dies. And I trimmed the sentiment with the same wide.

I found some coordinating patterned papers from my paper scrap box that I used on the background. I added the paper with adhesive glue, and then I added the images and sentiments on the cards with 3D foam tape. And they are done 🙂
