Practising Gratitude day 11: Be a blessing

For 21 days in May I am running an art challenge blog called The Art of Practising Gratitude.  Today's post is here.  On my blog I am showing what I did in response to the blog post.

Today's art challenge is to dry emboss without using a die cutting machine like a Big Shot or a Cuttlebug.  I used a piece of ordinary copy paper and sprayed some water on it.  I used a brayer rather than a rolling pin to apply pressure to the embossing folder.

This was the result.

I tried it again without wetting the paper and as you can see with the lower image it wasn't as good an emboss.  I used the Distress Inks to colour the paper.

I cut my image down and stuck it into my book.

I used the bit I had cut off to decorate the other page.  I stamped the words and glued the Bible verse onto the page.

I wrote my journaling around the one page.  It looks very pale so I may come back to colour it later.

Thanks for stopping by.
