October week 4: Resurrection Life

Continuing with my Pinterest inspiration theme, I saw Diane had pinned a technique from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer but which actually originated from here.

I had been trying to work out how I could have a sun ray effect and so I took the distress ink and water idea and my shattered flower stencil.  I put the Distress ink on the stencil and sprayed it with water.

This possibly isn't the bext technique to use when your journal looks like this.  It would be easier with a flat piece of paper.

Anyway, I persevered.   I put the journal down onto the stencil and then lifted it up with the newspaper and turned it over.   The stencil moved a bit but I rather liked the 'shadow' it gave.

Then I wrote out some of the verses from the month's study on Resurrection Life using Tim Holtz Label Letters for some of the words.  Then I used some large letters for 'new life'.

Thanks for stopping by.
