Life Is Much Better With Friends

Joy Clair

Hello everyone…. MARCH IS HERE! New month is here and I hope you all can have another fresh start… One of the things that I am thankful is friendship. This life is much better with friends… Don’t you agree?

Today we have a new challenge at Joy Clair Blog. It is Anything Goes challenge and here’s the inspiration photo for you 🙂

Joy Clair March Challenge – Anything Goes

I made a clean-and-simple card that is inspired the colors from the image above. I used the one of the Joy Clair New Arrival stamp sets, called Best Buds. This stamp set is just super adorable!!!

Making this card is super simple! First I stamped the image and sentiment using Mini MISTI using London Fog Memento Dew Drop Ink. I stamped them twice to get the solid and crisp result, and with MISTI, this can be done without errors or out of line.

Next step is to color the bunnies. I keep my stamped cardstock on the Mini MISTI and have the bar magnet to hold it while I coloring it. It is pretty handy stamping tool!

First I colored the bunnies with Grey Arteza Woodless Watercolor Pencil, and then I used Tombow Blender Brush Pen to blend in the color.

After that, I fussy cut the bunnies with micro-tip scissors and I used one of the ODBD Mini Labels Dies to cut the sentiment.

I used patterned papers from my stash as the background and the ribbon banners. I added the bunnies and sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape. Next, I added some soft pink sequins that I have in my stash to embellish the card.

Card is done! I hope you enjoy it and be inspired to play along with Joy Clair March Challenge. You can create any type of projects using any stamps you have, but if you have Joy Clair stamps, we would love to see how you use them 🙂 There is no limit to link up your projects as long as they are new and on separate blog or open gallery link.

Be Blessed and Rest In His Peace

Graciellie Design Digital Stamp

Hello everyone… I hope you be blessed and find rest in God’s peace this weekend. I know I need a break so I can start fresh next week 🙂

Today, I have a card to share with you that I created wit Graciellie Design Digital Stamp – In Christ Alone. This is a beautiful digital stamp set that you can use to create any encouragement themed paper projects.

I opened the flower file on a image editing software and I resize it to fit in 4″ x 5.25″ cardstock. I printed it with my inkjet printer in black and white. I dried the ink with craft heater (or you can let it dry overnight) before I colored it. I did the same step with the sentiment.

I used ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies to cut the panel and and ODBD Pierced Squares Dies to cut the sentiment.

Then to do the reverse coloring technique, I used Arteza Woodless Watercolor Pencils and Colorless Tombow Dual Brush Blender Pen. Then I added some glitter on the flower using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Clear Brush Pen.

I added the flower panel on a white card base with adhesive glue, and then I added the sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape. I finished my card with clear circle gems from Pretty Pink Posh that I added them on the card with Dries Clear Adhesive Glue.

Here’s another project I create using the same digital stamp set:

Praise The Lord – Psalms 66 Bible Journaling

Joy Clair Color By Faith

Hello everyone… Helen is here today and I have a Bible journaling page to share with you. It is about God’s character, works, and promises from the book of Psalms 66. For those, we worship Him and shout joyful noise to His holy name!

Shout for joy to God, all the earth;

sing the glory of his name;

give to him glorious praise!

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.

All the earth worships you

and sings praises to you;

they sing praises to your name.” Selah

Come and see what God has done:

he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

(Psalms 66:1-5, ESV)

I created using the Praise The Lord stamp set, one of the new Color By Faith collection. On my page, I also used Clear Gesso, Gelatos, Acrylic Paints, Archival Ink Pad, Water, and Washi Tapes.

I am sharing a tutorial at Joy Clair Blog today. I hope you can find some inspirations at Joy Clair blog. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful and blessed day!
