Today, I am starting off with a page out of my Bible. I've only recently started Bible Journaling, after putting it off for the longest time. I thought this is a great way to spend more time in HIS Word and be creative at the same time. So, when I saw this "Sending Kindness" stamp kit, it was just perfect for this Bible verse.
Galatians 5:22-23English Standard Version (ESV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
So, I know how intimidating it can be stamping directly onto your Bible pages -- so I stamped on vellum instead! It's a nice and much more forgiving way to add stamps to your pages. Do try it out!

Next, I made a card using the "May Blessings Follow You" stamp kit. This is a gorgeous set and I stamped it on some watercolor cardstock and painted it in with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I also die cut the edge using the Fancy Scalloped Stitched Border Dies by Kat Scrappiness. This die set is such a fun set to play with!
I also added some Nuvo drops to the border to give it some texture.

For my next card, this "Sweet Tea Kitty" stamp set is just too adorable, don't you think? I colored it in using my Copic markers, then did the background with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks and just a piece of scrap paper! Thanks Terri for the inspiration -- I just had to try it for myself and it turned out great!

For this card, I stamped the flower jar and sentiment from the "Simple Wisdom" kit and colored it with Copic markers. Then I wanted to add some colors to the background, so I grabbed my Tim Holtz "Doily" stencil with some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to create this subtle background. Love how it really looks like doilies!

And for my final card of the hop, I did my very own foiled background using a TCW "mini bricks" stencil and also the Thermoweb Decofoil Transfer gel. This gel is like magic! With this gel, you could easily add foils to any of your patterns using a Heidi Swapp Minc machine or a laminator.
Then I added the wreath and sentiment from the "Cheery Christmas" set, adding glitter with my Spectrum Noir sparkle pens too :)
