One evening my girls and I were driving home from an outing and saw this gorgeous sunset. I wanted to recreate the colors in my mixed media journal. This page was just layers and layers of paint that I rubbed in with my fingers. The ovals are a handmade stencil.
I did some soft stamping between layers, so hard to see in these pics. Used my finger as a stamp to make the dots.
The journaling was done in a Sakura pen that dries super shiny, I love it! The paint was matte, so it was a great contrast.
Here you can see the file folder labels peeking through. My favorite part of working on this recycled substrate.
Shortly after the flooding in SC, I saw these two rainbows. In the Upstate we weren't affected like Columbia and Charleston. Charleston has really been through it this year and my prayers go out to its citizens.
I am so thankful for this reminder that God will never or forsake His children.

So glad I stopped by today and saw this. I have been watching the morning sky and trying to figure out how to incorporate it in my Bible journaling in a unique way and then I see this. So fun, TFS! Hugz
