The Father Heart of God 5

Welcome to my creative response to The Father Heart of God creative Bible Study.  You can find the details of today's session on The Father Heart of God blog.

I showed how I made my backgrounds in this blog post.   I made all the backgrounds at the same time and then cut and scored the papers to make 5 pages for my book.

I decided that I would do every page in the same way throughout the journal and to keep to a limited palette of colours.    I chose one verse from the Bible Study, printed it out and cut it up.  I inked the edges and then glued it to the outside of the folded page.

This is the reverse of the page with some doublesided tape already attached down the edge of the page between the scored line and the edge of the paper.

I drew the wavy lines as before.

Using a black pen I wrote my journaling so that the letters fitted the gaps between the wavy lines.

I went back through with coloured pens putting pattern into some of the letters and circles between the words.  The circles with dots in look a bit like frog spawn but once I'd done the first page I had to stick with it!

Here are pages 4 and 5 together.

On February 28th there will be one last post in this series showing my completed journal.

Thank you for stopping by today.  If you haven't already joined in with this study you can join any time.

Take Me Deeper: February

It is my rule in the Take Me Deeper group to tell people they are not behind when they are not keeping up with posting their weekly reponses to the devotionals.  So I can't say that I am behind.  Let's put it like this - I am now all caught up.

In January I used a theme of journaling boxes through the month's art work and decided I quite liked the idea of a theme.  This month it is a technique.  I learned it in a new class from Diane Marra: Mixed Media Layering.

Diane's page.  Used with permission.

It's a stunning page and a great class and I have done my take on it.  Firstly on each page that I did I stamped a large heart and then wrote my journaling in it using a pencil.

I followed the instructions from Diane's class - possibly somewhat loosely - but if you're a regular reader you will know I don't ever want my work to look like a copy.  However in my pages you can definitely see Diane's influence.

Week 1: God’s Love

Week 2: Love God

Week 3: Love your neighbour
I used Distress Inks on this instead of spray inks and when I tried blending them together with a wet wipe the pencil writing smudged!

You can sign up for Diane's class by becoming a member of His Kingdom Come.  The class is only $8 or around £5.  Or you can buy it with 4 other classes for a total of $35 or just under £23.

Thank you for stopping by.
