Be brave… Be courages… This was God’s command, promise and reminder for Joshua and the Israelites as they entered Canaan because He knew they needed it to fight the “giants” they would face daily. He wanted them to keep remember that He was with them and would give them victory in the battle, spiritually and physically.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:9 ESV)
The same command, promise and reminder is also for us these days. As we walking into this new year, new season, we need to remind ourselves that “The LORD is with us.” He walks with us. He brings victory in our daily spiritual and physical battle. He is our source of courage.
Be brave.
Be courageous.
Today I have two projects, a Bible journaling page and an encouragement card using this newly released Bible verse, Joshua 1:9 stamp set from Creative Worship Stamps.
On the journaling page background, I also used:
I used VersaMagic Dew Drop inks for stamping and ink blending with the stencil and round blending brushes. And I used Prismacolor Pencils to color the snowdrops and soil. I added some white splatters to the page with white paint and water.
The second project is an encouragement card.
To create this rainbow-with-textures background, first I used ink-blending technique with Distress Oxide ink pads, then I sprinkled some water with my hand to the background and then I used paper towel to dabbed off the water. I dried the whole panel with a craft heat gun.
Next step, I used the stamping stencil technique (or ghosthing technnique) using Moroccan Quatrefoil Stencil with some water. I sprayed the stencil lightly with water and then I added it to the inked background. I used a piece of paper towel to press the stencil for a couple senconds, then lifted it up, and I dried it again with a craft heat gun.
The last texture I added to the background is with heat embossing techniques using Mindful Magnolias Stamp Set. I added some anti-static powder to the background panel and then I stamped the leaf brances around the panel with VersaMark ink pad and then I added some of the pearl embossing powder and heat set it with a craft heat gun.
I cut out a frame using the Stitched Rectangle Die Set and added some Distress Ink around it.
I plan to make more encouragement cards using this Joshua 1:9 stamp set, it is great to make one layer card, don’t you think?
May this word of God encourage you all today. Thanks for stopping by!
I link up my card to this challenges:
