Bloom in Faith w/Creative Worship

This is my first project for Creative Worship using the super cool Spiral Bound Watercolor Mixed Media Sketchbook.  It's such a fun size, and it works so well with all the amazing stamps, dies, oxide inks, sprays, stencils and products carried at Creative Worship.  I had so much fun creating this journal page that reminds me to "bloom in faith", or in other words, to never stop growing in my relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.  What a beautiful reminder of His love for all of us.....and even for me.

I rubbed the entire background with Salvaged Patina Oxide Ink and then I stencilled it using Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink and the lovely Delightfully Delicate Stencil.  I also stamped the background using the Vintage Postage Stamp Set and Faith Definitions 1 Stamp Set just to make the background even more interesting.

I cut three layers of wreaths using the Lovely Wreath Dies.  Next, I cut several tags from old 7 Gypsies Tags using the new Stitched Tags Dies.  I stamped on the larger tags using the Vintage Snippets Stamp Set.  Then, I stamped and cut some of the smaller pieces (tickets, tags, etc.) using the Vintage Labels Stamp Set and cutting them with the coordinating Tags Tickets & More Dies.  I layered everything together.

The sentiment (bloom in faith) and the three pretty roses are all found in the lovely Sketched Roses Stamp Set.  They were painted using Peeled Paint and Lumberjack Plaid Oxide Inks.  I think that pretty much covers all the Creative Worship products I used.  If you do have any questions, please let me know.  There's a lot going on there, I know.  Please take time to stop by my Instagram to Follow and say hello.  You can also find lots of great inspiration on the CW IG page.  Happy crafting, everyone.

June Challenge at The Four Seasons

It's time for the June Challenge at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog and we really hope you'll join us again this month.  We have an awesome inspiration photo to help you get your creativity kick-started in the right direction.  Maybe some of the colors speak to you, or maybe it's an image or a texture.  Whatever you see that inspires your creativity, we look forward to seeing the art you create when you see it.  This is how I was inspired this month.  All the products used to make this card are from Creative Worship Stamps.

I used a bright cardstock base that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship Stamps.  I used their Sketched Roses Stamp Set to stamp all the pretty roses and foliage that I placed around on my card.  The white piece underneath that was also cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I ink smooshed that white watercolor paper background and stamped it with Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set for the music notes.

So, when I looked at the inspiration board (above), you can tell right away that I didn't take anything literally.   Meaning...I didn't necessary recreate the same images as seen in the photo.  What did inspire me, however, were the flowers (which are purple lilacs in the inspiration photo).  This gave me the desire to create with flowers.  The bright colors on the surf boards speak to my bright color choices.  What's speaking to you and to your creative side?  We can't wait to see.

The sentiment I added (bloom in faith) is also found in the Sketched Roses Stamp Set.  There are always cute sentiments in the stamp sets from Creative Worship; even the smaller sets.  I always love that.  I hope you check out both of these awesome places I've mentioned.  Creative Worship Stamps for some great shopping, and The Four Seasons Challenge Blog for a place to share your art and creativity.  We look forward to it.
