Joy Clair Butterfly Kisses - 2 ways plus In God's Time

Hello and welcome!  I'm over at the Joy Clair blog today with a couple of projects using the Joy Clair Butterfly Kisses stamp set and Joy Clair's Color By Faith Series "In God's Time"stamp set.

Here's how I made my card:

1)  I used orange and pink Distress Inks to watercoloring my background then stamped the butterflies and sentiment from in Versafine black ink from the Joy Clair Butterfly Kisses stamp set.
2)  I die cut the panel with a scalloped stitched rectangle die from Wplus9.
3)  To finish the card I popped the panel up on foam tape and added clear drops.
Quick and easy!

Here's a close up view:

For my second project today I used Joy Clair's Color By Faith Series "In God's Time"stamp set along with the Joy Clair Butterfly Kisses stamp set to create a bible journal page.

First I highlighted my scripture which is:

Psalms 27:14

 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

I often struggle with patience and worry before realizing I need to trust that things will work out - I just need to have faith.  I need to free myself from worry - and what is more free than a butterfly!  I love this image with all the butterflies, so it seemed perfect to use for this verse that is particularly special to me.

Here's the page I created:



Here's how I created this:



1)  I started out by highlighted the verse.



2)  I laid the bible page on my Sizzix stamping pad so I could be sure to get a good stamped image of the butterflies.

3)  I colored the butterflies with Crayola Twistable pencils, Zig Clean color markers and Gel glitter pens.  The pencils ended up being too light colored so I added Zigs to darken the color.



4)  I added some heart and arrow stickers from my stash and another sticker that says "Be still and know that I am God."  I used "trust Him" and "God has perfect timing" stamps from the Joy Clair's Color By Faith Series "In God's Time"stamp set.  I used Archival Inks in Vivid Chartreuse and Garden Patina.



5)  Here's what it looked like so far:



6)  I took the Echo Park "Magic Plaid Stencil" and some Evergreen Bough Distress Ink and inked the top and the bottom sections of the margin.  I used Post it notes and Post it tape for masking.



7)  Lastly I added sparkle pen to parts of the page, a black and white strip under the verse and very thin strips of silver glitter paper to outline parts of the page.

Here's my finished project:



That's it for me today!  I'm so glad you stopped by!
