Joy Clair - Embossing and Bible Journaling

Hello, Joy Clair friends! Today I am excited to share my latest Bible page with you. I have tried to using embossing powder on a page before. My gun ended up getting too hot and turning the page brown. So I spent some time trying to figure out how to work my gun with the thin pages in the Bible. I believe that I finally figured it out and love how this page turned out!

Today I am showcasing the adorable Color by Faith's Be Brave stamp set:

When I start a page, I like to begin with positioning the stamps to get an idea of what I want the page to look like. Once this is done, it allows me a better idea of where to put my paint. The larger painted areas and for the different phrases. The paint lines are were the different arrows will be stamped.

Now it is time to stamp and emboss! One by one, I stamp the images on top of the painted area. Right away, I add the embossing powder and heat with the heat gun. (I let my gun heat up before I aim it towards the page. Once I move to the page, I move the gun in a circle motion to hit the entire embossed area.) I repeat this process until all the images are complete.

To finish the page, I added some paint swatches of gold.

DCWV Watercolor Stack Layout

Hello, DCWV friends! It's Jessi from the Social Media Design Team. I am truly excited to be sharing another layout with you today! I am sort of in a slump of creating cards, but that is OK, because my love for scrapbooking is growing and it is now a fun art for me!

Today I am using two stacks that will be available soon at Hobby Lobby stores, Watercolor and Embossed White stacks!

There are quite of few pineapples throughout the Watercolor Stack, so I decided to highlight them in different parts of the layout. I chose the color pineapple print to be the main background of the layout. I attached the print to a piece of white embossed cardstock. I decided to have the de-bossed side of the cardstock as the front of the layout. I loved how the print caused the indentions to the page.

I knew that the journal card I was going to use had black, so I wanted to add more black to the layout. I opted for black paint splatters. I used watered down acrylic paint on the end of a paint brush to form the splatters.

While the paint splatters are drying, it was time to piece the layers together. I used a variety of prints and one sheet of vellum to highlight the photo. The photo is attached to one fun print and set aside. A different print and vellum are attached together and matted onto the final print slightly tilted. The matted photo is attached to the top. A pineapple diecut is attached to the corner using a foam square.

To finish the layout, I added a journaling card and cut out a few words that were part of the Watercolor Stack.

Thank you for stopping by today!
