This first page was done with Inktense pencils. I found an illustration I thought might work for what I envisioned & traced it (using Inktense pencils) onto my page.
However, that turned out to be an example of WHAT NOT TO DO! When I was FINISHED tracing, I went looking for the verse I was highlighting and realized I had traced the illustration onto the WRONG PAGE!!!! The page I had prepped with gesso and that I intended to put the illustration on was a page back!!! I erased as well as I could - which basically means it's a lighter color but still visible - before turning to the correct page and tracing it all over again. I'm not sure what will happen with the other page - especially since it doesn't have gesso on it. I just don't know what's going to happen when I try to do something on that page.
So, back to my actual page, I didn't actually have the heart to re-trace that image right away, so set it aside for the next time. When that time came, I traced with the colors I wanted (Inktense) & then blended with a water brush from there into the illustration to blend it out and color the picture. I added the larger words with stickers, the smaller ones with Pitt pens. The meaning of this illustration may not be immediately apparent, so if you wish, you can check out my Cher-ing Daily Bread blog to see what it means to me.
Here's the next page I did. I'm wondering if something like this will work for covering up the mistakes on the earlier page???
The green and black words are stickers, and the tent is something I printed from the internet and just glued in place. The word Faith was stamped with StazOn onto my page & then colored in with gold lame' Smooch ink.
The meaning of this one may also be less apparent. You're welcome to check out my discussion of it on my other blog.
