Open Door


This was another Bible page insert - made pretty easily since it started as a coloring book page ("The Word in Color" Coloring Book by Christian Art Publishers).  I made it pretty easily:
  1. I first colored the page with watercolor pencils (using clear "Wink of Stella" instead of water to blend the color).
  2. Next I scanned the colored page and printed it on a cream colored glimmer paper (though it looks more gold in the picture!).
  3. I find it hard to dry ink printed onto glimmer paper  - and it can sometimes rub off!  So as soon as it came out of the printer, I covered it with clear embossing powder and heat set it.  Problem solved!
  4. After cutting to the correct size for my Bible, I inserted the page using "Zip Lines" adhesive.
Though the page was easy to create, it had an important message for me which you can read about on my blog about my spiritual journey here.
