Fruit in Old Age

Today's Bible Journaling page looks a lot better in real life than it does in the picture!  Because of the camera angle, it's a bit hard to read.  The gold words say "a promise" (for info on what this page means to me, check my other blog here).  Here's how I created this page:

Background: After protecting the page with clear gesso, as usual, I sprayed it with a green Glimmer Mist (called "lime light"). 

Illustration: After the background was thoroughly dry, I hand drew my illustration lightly with a pencil.  Then I drew over the lines with Inktense pencils.  Finally I used a water brush to spread the color.  

Lettering: The golden words are stamped ("Bible Promises" by Stampendous - Copper StazOn ink - then colored in with a gold acrylic paint I have on hand).  I drew the rest of the words with a pencil, then traced them with pens/markers.  The black was a Pitt pen.  The purple and green were from my Scroll & Brush markers set.

Verse: I highlighted the verse by coloring it with a darker shade of green using Scroll & Brush markers.  Then I added a thin Dazzles sticker border around it.
