Blessings, dear friends, and welcome to my first edition of "Focus on Faith" for the month of August. Today, I have a fun project for you that is not so much card as it is a quaint little wall hanging.
I started by die cutting an oval panel of Canson XL Bristol Smooth cardstock, on which I stamped the tulip image from the "Sing to the Lord" set, in Versafine Black Ink using my stamp positioner. I then inked up just the bird from the "Songbirds and Feeders"set. It is the bird perched on the side of the bird bath. I stamped it so that it was just at the top of the back tulip. I then proceeded to color my images using Polychromos colored pencils.
When was done, I ink blended some yellow ink up in the right hand corner for a bit of sunlight ,and then I placed the oval back into my stamping tool, and stamped the sentiment from the "Sing to the Lord" set, with Versafine black ink.
I die cut the black frame and applied it to the top of my oval and then I applied foam tape to the back of it. I die cut a larger oval of white cardstock and embossed it with a tulip embossing folder, and I applied ink to the raised embossing with mini ink blending brushes.
I then adhered that panel down to my scalloped green oval base with foam tape, and added the black hanger with adhesive.
That finishes my project for today. I hope that you got inspired to look at your stamp sets in a new way, and that you will try coloring your images using colored pencils. I love the amount of texture and shading that I can achieve using colored pencils.
I wish you all a very blessed and crafty week!
