What better way to share a friendship than lifting up our voices together and worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! This 8x8 "Faith" page is my sample for todays Blog Hop!
When I was praying about how to use this stamp set called Autumn Pals from Unity Stamp Co. this quote by Francis of Assisi, (which you have probably heard most recently sung by the David Crowder Band) just kept going through my head and the Lord used it to inspire this page. Which incidently will be used as a lesson for my Sunday School class about our Creator and worship. I'm blessed to teach a small and very creative, all girls class who range in ages 6 to 12 years old.
Here is the recipe for my card:
Paper: Kraft, white cardstock (Paper Accents) Rainforest cardstock (Bazzill) Talk Soup (pattern paper by Jillybean)
Stamps: Autumn Pals and Something Within (Unity Stamp Company)
Quote from Francis of Assisi: font: "You All Everybody"
Ink: Archival Ink (Ranger) colors: coffee, olive; Smooch: pearlized ink (dots around the green);Distress Ink (Ranger) colors: scattered straw, dried marigold
Sakura black Identi-pen;
Paint: Claudine Hellmuth, Studio semi-gloss (blank canvas, charcoal black, sable brown)
Pencils: Prismacolor (dk green, goldenrod, sienna brown, rose deco, )
Embellishment: button (Foof-a-la Bag of Buttons)
Tools: Blending Ink Tool (Ranger) Corner rounder (EK Success), Odorless Mineral Spirits (Ace Hardware) Blending Stump
