Hand Holding


Today I have another Bible Journaling page.  For more information about the meaning of this page for me, check my other blog - here .  As to how I made it, it is an inserted page (because I had already done journaling on both pages & REALLY wanted to journal about these verses too!), glued in place using a "ZIP" Line adhesive strip.  Here's what I did:
  1. I started with a piece of vellum-like paper that had a shimmery sheen to it and printed the picture onto the page.  To make sure it didn't smear on the slippery surface of this paper, I covered it with clear embossing powder & heat embossed it.
  2. If I had thought about it, I might have also printed the verse, but I didn't think about it at the time.  SO, I printed the text on a separate sheet & the traced it with a Sharpie.  
  3. Next I tried spraying with Glimmer Mist, but that really didn't show well on this paper.
  4. I added color with Distress inks (Salty Ocean & Broken China). 
That's it!  Pretty simple, really, but a meaningful page.  It's actually translucent so you see the page behind it, but I put a craft sheet behind it for taking the picture.

Thanks, Heather! I use an ink-jet - which is why on glossy-type paper, I ALWAYS emboss the entire image with clear embossing powder to keep it from smearing.
