There’s another challenge for clean and simple card making at Less is More. This time we’re asked to make a one layer card – which means just that. No die cuts, very minimal embellishments and no matting of designs either. As an added challenge, any sentiment must be ‘just one word’. Cue lots of masking and overprinting!
If it weren’t for this pesky virus, we would have had the theme ‘just one word’ for our next art journaling and Bible journaling sessions. I’ve done the prep for the Bible journaling, so I thought I would share. A printable template is available for free from my shop.
I’ve had chance to design and journal five more Bible journal entries this week. Continue reading for the button to press if you would like to download the outlines for your own use – it’s free!
Our next Bible journaling session has ‘rubber stamping’ as its theme. It will be a departure from my normal style, and it took some time to find suitable stamps to match some verses and themes. When creating, I also chose to break my ‘rule’ of not working over the text areas of the page. I made sure, however, the work I did was transparent and the text still readable:
Here are five more Bible journaling illustrations, complete with a free downloadable outline. I’ve been getting in some practice with watercolour pencils as my next Bible journaling session will be featuring them. Another version of watercolour is using studio safe solvents to move around the wax carrier for the Polychromos pencils, giving much the same effect (though waterproof of course). The solvent is less likely to swell the paper fibres compared to water and is my preferred technique, though the effect is less translucent than watercolour.
I’ve been creating some new Bible journaling this week. I’ve also been trying out some different art materials – more info after the gallery.
