I got to see the very edge of the sea this weekend on my way to a funeral. It was super windy and the sea grass was blowing. Very peaceful and serene.
It made me think of Psalms and Psalm 46 in particular - especially with the Corona Virus spreading and the loss of my husband's last remaining Uncle (his very favorite too). So when I got home, I got out my favorite DRS stamp and stamped it all over the bottom of my journaling bible.
I stamped the sea grass in linen, tea stain and vintage photo and then I sponged in some grounding. I also sponged around a die cut star with CTMH Sea Glass. I distressed the sky with a bit of water but you can't really tell unless you look closely.
I also cased Faith (PeonySnail) who was this week's Featured Stamper. THIS is the card that inspired my next page.
I sponged the beach in tea stain and linen distress inks. The ocean was sponged in sea glass (CTMH) and a little mowed lawn mixed in. I dotted in some SnowTex for the waved. The birds and sea grass are from the SU! High Tide stamp set.
I am linking these to the Green Party over at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* - green is such a lovely color. Also on our trip we ran into the Evergreen Collard Green Festival - only in Alabama!

Both these pages are absolutely beautiful, Nancy. I love the soft colors. The first page is a beautiful tribute to your uncle. Sorry for your loss. The SnowTex for waaves is brilliant!

I stopped by last night, but was so tired, I left this post on my desktop so I could see it as soon as I got up today. Both sides are extremely lovely. I love how you depicted the sea grasses on the left side and the birds and sea on the other. This is amazing, and I love your various choice of colors, too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us using Eileen's theme at Art Journal Journey. Again, my apologies for the late visit.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful pages in your Bible Journal, so serene and peaceful even though the grass in one is blowing. I do like that grass stamp and how you have used several shades to achieve that effect.
